Display Form Setting for Operands for Special Instructions when Monitoring in Ladder
Section Windows
Previous version (Ver. 3.0) New version (Ver. 3.1)
When monitoring on the Ladder Section
window, the symbol data type was given
priority as the display format for
operands for special instructions.
For example, the data type for the MOV
instruction is CHANNEL, so the display
was always 4-digit hexadecimal.
The data type for MOVL is also
CHANNEL so the display was always 8-
digit hexadecimal.
Also, for an unnamed symbol the data
type is CHANNEL so the display was
always 4-digit hexadecimal.
The display format for the present values of operands of special instructions
when monitoring on the Ladder Section Window can be selected from the
following data types. The same display format must be used globally.
To select the display format, click the desired button or select Monitoring Data
Type from the View menu.
•
Decimal
•
Signed Decimal
•
Monitor in Hex
The default display formats will be as follows if none of the above display
formats is selected.
•
Named symbol will be monitored in the symbol data type.
•
Unnamed symbol will be monitored in the operand data type.
•
Two-word operations, such as for the MOVL instruction, will be monitored in
2-word hexadecimal.
•
For present values displayed in formats other than hexadecimal, “D” is
attached for 2-word data and “L” is attached for 4-word data.
Improvement in Operation to Change PVs for Special Instructions

Start Address Setting when Monitoring Present Values in I/O Memory
(Continuous Address Monitoring)
Previous version (Ver. 3.0) New version (Ver. 3.1)
The address to monitor in the PLC
Memory Window could not be specified
(either the screen had to be scrolled or
individual addresses had to be monitored
in Watch windows).
Also, with floating-point or double-
precision floating-point binary, monitoring
was possible only from addresses
divisible by 2 or 4.
The start address to be monitored can be specified to monitor consecutive
addresses in the PLC Memory Window.
