6-8 Starting Operation
After completing screen data transmission and setting the communication condi-
tions, connect the NT31/NT31C to the host and start operation.
Note Check the operation of all screen data and host programs carefully before using
them. If incorrect, the system may operate unpredictably.
Switching to the RUN Mode and Starting Operation
Press the “Quit” touch switch on the System Menu screen or other screen. The
NT31/NT31C switches to the RUN mode and starts operation.
The operation at the start is as follows.
[Display of the “system initialization” screen]
When establishing the communication with a host, the “System ini-
tializing” character string is displayed on the screen. If the commu-
nication with the host cannot be established, the “System initializing”
screen remains up. If this is the case, check the settings at the host
and the PT side, the cables and wiring.
In addition, creating screen number 9000 enables the display of a
screen other than the “System initialization” screen.
[Transmission of the contents of memory tables]
If the “Resume Function” memory switch is set to “ON”, or if the initial
values of the memory tables are used, the contents of the numeral/
character-string memory tables are copied to the allocated words at
the host.

[Display of the startup screen]
The startup screen is displayed on reading the contents (screen
number of the screen to be displayed) of the first word of the PT sta-
tus control area.
If the contents are not correct for a screen number, or there is no data
registered for the set screen number, an error message is displayed.
