mode.
The PT changes the mode when
host link communication is used.
This is an PT specification. When using a PC that
can also be connected using the NT link method,
use an NT link connection (there is no mode change
with the NT link method).
The graph display does
not change.
One of the percentage display
settings — –100%, 0%, or 100% —
is incorrect.
Set the –100%, 0%, and 100% values in the
following relationship:
–100% value < 0% value < 100% value
The trend graph display
does not agree with the
actual time axis.
The cycle for graph display update
processing is longer than the set
sampling cycle.
Delete other elements on the same screen as the
trend graph that are allocated to the host and have
a high update frequency. Or lengthen the sampling
cycle.
The Programming
Console function cannot
be used.
The communication settings are
incorrect.
Set the communication method/communication port
as follows when using the Programming Console

The cable was disconnected while
Device Monitor was being used and
then connected to a PC with a
smaller data area.
If the cable is connected again to another PC, the

areas in the PC and set word addresses within
those ranges.
