Note 1: The operation for Backlight Mode is different if NT compatibility is not used.
(The options if NT compatibility is not used are as follows: ON: Flashing, OFF: Lit.)
2: Notification will not be provided in the allocated PLC address even if the corresponding $SB is directly
manipulated. The value at the PLC address is always written to $SB.
The PT status notification area allocations are listed in the following table.
Word Function Corresponding system memory
m Screen Number (notification
only) (See note 1.)
$SW0 (currently displayed screen number)
m+1 Not used (always 0)
(See note 2.)
−
m+2 PT Status Notification Bits See the following table.
Note 1: Only numeric values in BCD format can be stored.
2: “0” is always written to the allocated address.
