Frames
A frame object enables creating areas on a screen so that only part of the screen can be switched to
another page. Frames consist of more than one page based on the user settings and the displayed
contents of the functional objects configuring each page can be switched based on PT or PLC status.
Frames can contain fixed objects, functional objects, and tables.
Created frames registered in a library can be easily reused at many different locations or on different
screens.

♦
If frames are switched frequently, the display update may take some time and communications may
be delayed. Care must be taken because this means that sometimes data will not be logged or the
momentary ON/OFF buttons may not operate normally.
♦
Make sure the functional objects in the frame do not protrude from the frame. If the objects do pro-
trude from the frame when it is created, they will be displayed incorrectly outside the frame.
♦
Up to 10 frames can be created within one screen.
Up to 256 functional objects can be created in one frame page. The total number of functional ob-
jects that can be created in one screen, including the functional objects on each frame page and the
functional objects outside frames, is 1,024.
