Input of Numeric Values and Character Strings
Section 8-7
Reference: For the registration of touch switch “input key – control”, it is useful to register the
keys which will be required for inputting the data on the base screen, and those
which will be switched according to need during input — such as letters and nu-
merals — in the window.
[Operation]
(1) Display a screen on which numeral setting input fields are registered.
(2) Specify the objective numeral setting input field using the “input key – control”
and the “cursor moving keys”.
For the procedure for specifying the objective numeral setting input field, refer
to “Specifying the objective numeral setting input field using the input key –
control” (page 523).
Reference: If the “window open” function is set to the “cursor moving keys”, the specified win-
dow automatically opens.
(3) Press the “window open key” to open the window which is used for inputting a
numeric value.
Reference: The way in which the window is opened differs according to the property set for the
“window open key” (page 348).
(4) Input a numeric value using the “input key – control”.
For the procedure for inputting a numeric value, refer to “Inputting operation
using touch switches” (page 520).
(5) Press the ENT key in the “input key – control” or the key to confirm the input.
When the input is confirmed, the input numeric value is stored to a numeral
memory table. Then, the occurrence of a change in the contents of the nu-
meral memory table is notified to the host via the PT status notify area (page
276).
Reference - If the objective input field is shifted before confirming the input, the input numer-
ic value is canceled and the screen returns to the one displayed before the nu-
meric value was input.
- If the “upper/lower (max./min.) limit check” function is set for the numeral setting
input field, the function checks if the input numeric value falls within the specified
range when the input is confirmed. If the numeric value is outside the specified
range, the buzzer sounds three times, the input numeric value is canceled, and
the screen returns to the display before starting the input. In this case, neither
writing to a numeral memory table nor notification to the host is executed.
- If the key is pressed to confirm the input, the same field remains as the objec-
tive input field even after the previous input has been confirmed. If the ENT key
is used for the confirmation of the input, the objective input field shifts to the next.
