The graphical user interface 

 

This chapter familiarizes you with the basic elements of the graphical user interface as 
an introduction. This chapter does not give any information on the configuration of 
MELSEC-WS modules nor any instructions for logic programming. This chapter is only 
intended to explain the fundamental functioning of the Setting and Monitoring Tool on 
the basis of a small section of the functions. Experienced users of Setting and 
Monitoring Tool can skip this chapter.
