Sounding Buzzers
There are three ways to make buzzers sound on the PT.
Control from Host
Buzzers can be sounded from the host if buzzers are set to ON under the CX-Designer system setting
or the PT System Menu and system memory bits $SB12 to $SB14 are manipulated from the host dur-
ing operation.
Error Buzzers
Buzzers can be made to sound when communications or other errors occur during operation if buzzers
are set to ON and ERR ON is set under the CX-Designer system setting or the PT System Menu.
Dialog Box Buzzers
Buzzers can be made to sound when messages are displayed using the X or ! icons during operation if
buzzers are set to ON and ERR ON is set under the CX-Designer system settings or the PT System
Menu.
Stopping Buzzers
Buzzers that are sounding can be stopped using the following methods.
• Turn OFF system memory bits $SB12 to $SB14 from the host.
The buzzer will not stop, however, unless all bits for continuous, short intermittent, and long intermit-
tent buzzers are changed to 0 (OFF).
• Press a Command Button that has the buzzer stop function set to it.
Bits $SB12 to $SB14 will turn OFF.
