1. Before Connecting to PLC 1-13
⢠SCRN_No. (n + 2) Screen number command
Use example: To specify a screen number from the PLC:
When āD0ā is set for [Read Area], the screen number is written in āD2ā of the PLC.
Problem example: The screen display does not change when a screen number is specified from
the PLC.
If the same number as the one specified for ān + 2ā is already contained in this memory
address, the screen display does not change even if it is specified again.
For example, if screen No. 5 is specified from the PLC and it was once changed to screen No.
2 ā No. 0 by internal switches, normally it cannot be returned to the former screen No. 5 that
was specified by an external command, because the external screen command number (5)
remains the same as before in the memory address (āD2ā in the read area) for the screen
number command. In such a case, it is possible to forcibly switch the screen to the screen
number contained in āD2ā in the read area at the leading edge [0 ā 1] of bit 14 of the memory
address for the screen status command (āD1ā in the read area).
