Update Timing
The update timing depends on the [Process Cycle] in the [Detail] tab window for each data display.
Limitations
• For a numerical data or character display provided with a frame, the frame size is not changed
according to the setting of [Digits], [Decimal Point], [Display Type] or [No. of Bytes]. For this
reason, you need to set the maximum number of digits or bytes in the screen data.
• For a numerical data or character display with [Property: Not Transparent] selected in the [Style]
tab window, its background drawing area will be influenced by the setting of [Digits], [Decimal
Point], [Display Type] or [No. of Bytes]. If the set number of digits or bytes is decreased, therefore,
the background color will be left.
For this reason, you need to set the maximum number of digits or bytes in the screen data. Or,
you may update the display with the macro command SYS (RESET_SCRN) or by screen change.
• If a value displayed in a numerical data display has become higher than the maximum or lower
than the minimum specified for alarm, the value is shown in the color preset for alarm.
• When [ Attribute Specification Memory] is checked in the [Num. Display] dialog, the macro
command CHG_DATA is not executable for the numerical data display.
• For a numerical data or character display with [Function: Entry Target], its display is switched when
the cursor is moved from the display field.
Background Color Set a memory address used to specify the text background color.
Bits 0 to 6: Color
Bit 7: Blinking (0: No, 1: Yes)
You can select a color from 128 colors (with blinking) on [Palette 1] in
the [Custom Color] dialog. For color codes, refer to the section of
“Text Color”.
* However, the [Background Color] setting does not take
effect when [Transparent] is selected for [Property] in the
[Style] tab window.
No. of Bytes Set a memory address used to specify the number of bytes of the
character display.
No. of Bytes: 1 to 127
* Irrespective of the setting for [No. of Bytes], 127 bytes (64
words) will always be read.
