Data can be saved in CSV format
either using button commands,
or automatically at a set interval
(every 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 18,
20, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, or 240
hours).
Displays the PV trend for the settings in Segment Program 2 (Block Model 157).
Segments can be set in table format while observing a time axis graph.

Control blocks such as the PID blocks and Indication blocks, and some Operation blocks are displayed for up
to 8 loops in a single screen in the form of a field device. The maximum number of screens is 400.
This screen displays the SP, PV, and MV numeric values, displays a PV as a bar graph that can be scaled,
and can be used for changing the SP, MAN, and other setting values. When an alarm occurs, the color of the
bar graphs changes. You can progress to the Tuning Screen from the Control Screen.
This screen is for setting P, I, and D parameters in control blocks such as the PID blocks. The PV, SP, and MV
can be monitored while tuning the parameters. The maximum number of screens is 400 x 8 = 3,200.
When an alarm occurs, the color of the bar graphs changes.
Fine-tuning according to the degree specified by the user is possible for PID constants.
