respective screen on the left of the Operator Panel blinks.  When a button blinks, touch the 
button to display the target screen, and perform the required operation (e.g. confirmation of

4.2  Startup Screen

 

Startup screen

 

 

The startup screen is displayed on the Operator Pendant when the Controller is turned ON.  
Normally, it takes several tens of seconds to start up the Controller.  The startup screen 
shows that the Controller is starting up by a progress bar in the middle of the screen.  
The version of the firmware installed on the Operator Panel is displayed at the bottom right 
of the screen.  
If the Controller starts up successfully, the screen automatically switches to the Program 
Execution screen.
