Screen Display and Notification
Section 8-3
Reference - The description above applies to the case where both the image/library code
and the screen numbers are set in the bit memory table. If the image/library
code is not set, the screen is switched over the first time the message is
pressed.
- The NT31/NT31C screen is switched when the reversed message is pressed.
The screen is not switched if the status of the allocated bit changes from “1” (ON)
to “0” (OFF).
- When the screen is switched by operation at the NT31/NT31C, the “screen
switching strobe” of the PT status notify bit changes to “1” (ON) so that the event
of screen switching is notified to the host. The screen number of the new screen
is written to the “screen switch setting” word in the PT status control area at the
same time. (page 487)
[Example of Use]
For an example of use of screen switching using the alarm list/history function, re-
fer to 8-8 “Using the Alarm List/History Function” (page 538).
