2-8-20 String Table
The string table function manages character strings used in projects.
Strings registered in the string table can be used by ON/OFF buttons, bit lamps, Multifunction Objects,
labels, and alarm/event functions.
Any changes to strings registered in the string table are automatically reflected in the functional ob-
jects.
String No. 0 is changed
in the string table.
The changed string is
reflected in the object.

Up to a maximum of 10,000 strings can be registered in a string table and each string can be up to a
maximum of 1,024 characters. The maximum setting file size that can be registered for one project,
however, is 5 MB. Do not set any value larger that this. The setting file name is txttable.cfg. You can
check the size of the current setting file by selecting
Tools – Resource Report from the CX-Designer
menus.
Registered strings can be changed as a group by importing/exporting CSV files. The string table can
be exported as a CSV file, edited or translated, and then imported. All of the data in the edited CSV file
can then be registered together in the string table.
