Correction related to the maximum and minimum limit check function for numeral input
In the conversion of the data between a conventional and a new model, conver-
sion is executed in the manner shown below due to differences in the range of
numeral that can be input.
Difference
New models:
A numeric value of up to 10 digits can be input for the
maximum/minimum limit.

With a new model,
a numeral setting
input field for which
a numeric value
greater than
100000000 or
smaller than
–10000000 is speci-
fied as a maximum
or minimum limit is
registered to the
symbol manager.
With a conventional
model, maximum
and minimum value
greater than 8 digits
will be reset.

Create a new numeral
setting input field. Cor-
rect the screen data or
the program in the host
so that a constant of up
to 8 digits suffices. (Re-
