Improvements in Programming
•
Symbols in Array Variable Subscripts.
Previous version (version 7.2) New version (version 8.0)
Symbols could be used for array variable
subscripts only inside function blocks.
With a CJ2 CPU Unit, symbols can be used for array variable
subscripts in ladder diagram programming in tasks.
•
Address Offsets
Previous version (version 7.2) New version (version 8.0)
With a CJ2 CPU Unit, an offset value can be input to offset a
specific bit or word address in ladder diagram programming.
•
DM/EM Bit Addresses
Previous version (version 7.2) New version (version 8.0)
Only word addresses could be used in the EM
and DM Areas.
With a CJ2 CPU Unit, bit addresses can be specified in the EM and
DM Areas.
Improvements to Online Functions
With a CJ2 CPU Unit, you can easily connect to a PLC on an EtherNet/IP network.
Improvements to Monitoring
When registering an array variable in the Watch Window, it is now possible to
register and monitor a selected range of array elements.
Improvements to Symbol Tables
It is now possible to edit data items (i.e., arrange or delete) when copying and
pasting variable table data via the clipboard from external applications. It is also
possible to set the contents of symbol table data to be copied to the external
application in advance using option settings.
Other Improvements
Previous version (version 7.2) New version (version 8.0)
The error log of the CPU Unit only displayed
the error code.
In the error log of the CPU Unit, a code which gives more detailed
information about the error is displayed in addition to the error code.
