1-2-3 Supplemental functions to V1
The V1 version of NT31/NT31C is supplemented and enhanced by the following
functions.
Supporting memory link
By using the RS--232C/422A interface, V1 has become capable of supporting a
”memory link” that carries out a quasi--direct connection. Now NT31/NT31C can
be controlled from a personal computer or an FA computer.
Supporting a variety of venders
V1 has become capable of supporting the Mitsubishi A series sequencer (comput-
er link) and FX series sequencer (programmable controller). Sequencers built by
different manufactures will be able to control NT31/NT31C if their specific system
programs are installed.
System transfer by memory unit
V1 has become capable of storing the NT31/NT31C system program into the
memory unit (Type NT--MF261) installed on the rear of NT31/NT31C. The installa-
tion of the memory unit is all that is needed to enable the easy system program
change at the operation site.
Enhancing Window functions
V1 has become capable of laying out more parts on windows. Also, it can display a
maximum of three windows simultaneously.
A window control area (9CH) has been added to the direct connection area. This
has enabled a control of the windows display from the host side as well as the mov-
ing of windows.
Adding an analogue meter
”An analogue meter”, a graph having the shape of a meter, has become available.
Quarter, half, and full circle shapes are available to display numeric values on this
graph.
Equipped with high--Definition fonts
Any quadrupled characters are automatically displayed with more sophisticated
fonts. (Standard size characters by a 16 by 32 dot font.)
