4 Action type Select one of the following three types of action.
Set Value Sets a set value to the write address when the button is pressed. The numeric value can
only be input as a decimal. Hexadecimal values cannot be input.
To input hexadecimal values to the PLC, first convert the hexadecimal number to decimal
and then input the converted value.
Example: To write FFFF, set “−1” in decimal (for signed values).
When indirect is selected, the contents of the set address are written.
Increment/
decrement
When the button is pressed, the contents of the address are incremented or decremented
and set.
Example: If Increment/decrement is set to “10”, the contents of the address will increase
by 10 each time the button is pressed. If Increment/ decrement is set to “−10”, the con-
tents of the address will decrease by 10 each time the button is pressed. When indirect is
selected, the contents of the set address becomes the increment/decrement value. When
the maximum or minimum limit is exceeded, the action will be changed based on the
settings on the MAX/MIN Tab Page. Refer to MAX/MIN Tab Page for details.

When the button is pressed, a pop-up menu will be displayed and the write value can be
selected from the menu.

and the values that will be written when the items on the pop-up menu are selected. As
many pop-up menus as there are label switches can be set. If labels are switched during
PT operation, the displayed pop-up menu will also change. Up to 32 items can be set on
pop-up menus.

shown on the left. Use the scroll bar to display
other items on the menu.
