Using a Memory Unit (NT31/NT31C without V1)
Section 3-6
(2) Switch the NT31/NT31C power ON.
The screen data is automatically written into the memory unit. The screen
data in the NT31/NT31C is preserved.
The messages “Preparing”, “Transmitting”, “Verifying”, and “Finished” are
displayed on the screen in accordance with the progress of data writing.
When messages “Preparing”, “Transmitting”, and “Verifying” are displayed,
the RUN LED flashes, and when the message “Finished” is displayed, the
RUN LED lights.
(3) Switch the NT31/NT31C power OFF, remove the memory unit. To operate
NT31/NT31C continuously, switch the NT31/NT31C power back ON.
Writing Screen Data to the PT Using Automatic Transmission (Memory Unit to PT)
In this mode, screen data is forcibly written from the memory unit to the
NT31/NT31C irrespective of the setting status of the NT31/NT31C.
Since data transmission by this method is faster than when the Support Tool is
used, it can save a lot of time. When transmitting the same system program or
screen data to multiple NT31/NT31C, this mode becomes convenient.
Reference: When data is written to the NT31/NT31C, the data that has been stored up until
that point is lost.
S Method of execution
Use the following procedure to write the screen data in the memory unit to the
NT31/NT31C by automatic transmission.
(1) Check that the NT31/NT31C power is OFF, then set the DIP switches on the
memory unit as follows after installing the memory unit in NT31/NT31C.
OFF
SW1
SW2-3 ON: Bank 1
OFF: Bank 0
SW2
OFF
11223344
It is not strictly necessary to set SW2-2 to “OFF” (to disable writing to the
memory unit), but it is recommended to do so to avoid loss of data in the
event of misoperation.
(2) Switch the NT31/NT31C power ON.
The screen data is automatically written into the PT.
The messages “Preparing”, “Transmitting”, “Verifying” and “Finished” are
displayed on the screen in accordance with the progress of data writing.
When messages “Preparing”, “Transmitting”, and “Verifying” are displayed,
the RUN LED flashes, and when the message “Finished” is displayed, the
RUN LED lights.
(3) Switch the NT31/NT31C power OFF, and remove the memory unit.
To operate NT31/NT31C continuously, switch the NT31/NT31C power back
ON.
