Descriptions of Switch Screen

Close Screen

Closing the Pop-up Screen which is displayed in the screen placed with a function key. The

screen operations with the function do not perform write of the data for the address of

control which is set by the Direct Screen or Indirect Screen. Therefore, make sure that point

when the Direct Screen or Indirect Screen is used.

Pop-up

Screen

Frame 0

Title bar on

Pressing the Function Key can move the Pop-up Screen to the specified position in the

Pop-up Screen

screen, which is effective for Pop-up Screen, Indirect Screen and Direct Screen.

Title Bar

Example: Screen switching function

(1) Create a new project and save it.

(2) Create each of Fast select window 2, Common window 1, Basic window 4, Fast select

window 5, Common window 6, Pop-up window 7. The Fast select window 2 and the Fast

select window 5 are the same size ((100, 220) in this case) and the Pop-up window 7 is the

smaller that other screens (it is ((200,150) in this case).

(3) Create three function keys in the Fast select window 2.

Three function keys such as [Change Screen] function key ti switch to Basic window 0,

[Change Screen] function key to switch Basic window 4, and [Change Menu Screen]

function key to switch to Fast select window 5 to switch the Base Screen shown as below.

(4) Place one text component displaying “Common window 1” displayed in Common window 1.

below. Also place [Pop-up Screen] function key to display “Pop-up window 7” and

[Backward] function key in the Basic window 0.

(6) Place one Text Display component to display “Basic window 4” and [Backward] function

key in the Basic window 4.

(7) Create three Function Keys in the [Fast select window 5].

Three Function keys such as a [Change Common Sheet] Function Key to switch Common

Sheet into Common window 1, a [Change Common Sheet] Function Key to switch

Common Sheet into Common window 6, and [Change Menu Screen] Function Key to

switch Menu Screen into Fast select window 2 as follows.

(8) Place one Text Display component to display “Common window 6” in the Common window

(9) Place three Function Keys in “Pop-up Screen” in Pop-up window 7. Three Function Keys

such as one [Title bar on Pop-up Screen] Function Key to display “Pop-up window 7”, a

[Minimize] Function Key, and one [Close Screen] Function Key.

(10)After the completion of setup, saving the project file and executing the off-line test after the

compilation, the project is displayed as below.

(11)When switching the “Basic window 0” into “Basic window 4” by the button in Menu Screen,

pressing “Back” button allows the screen returned to “Basic window 0” and then pressing

“Back” button in the Basic window 0 allows the screen returned to “Basic window 4”.

(12)When [Pop-up Screen] is pressed in “Basic window 0”, “Pop-up window 7” will pop up, as

Example: Making NUM Keyboard

Number (0 to 9) keys, Float, Minus sign, Enter, CLR and Backspace keys are required in the

keyboard.

Step 1: Create a new project and make the layout of the NUM keyboard.

Firstly add the new screen “Frame 10” and open [Screen Property], then perform the screen

operations such as setting the Width, Height and the border width to be 160, 200 and 2

respectively, setting the Frame Color, checking [Screen Attribute] and setting it to be

“Keyboard page”. Finally divide Frame10 into three areas, i.e. Screen control area, Input

Display area and Keyboard area, as shown below.

Screen control area

Display area

Keyboard area

Step 2: Add the required components for the keyboard.

(1) Firstly, add one Function Key as screen title bar into the Screen control area, in this case,

select “Title bar on Pop-up Screen”.

(2) Add two Text Display components for displaying the ranges of the maximum and the

minimum for the Number Input, where the [Read Address] are LW9180 (LW9180 ~

LW9187 is the system special memory for displaying the maximum of Number Input) and

LW9190 (LW9190 ~ LW9197 is the system special memory for displaying the minimum of

Number Input) respectively and [Word Length] are both 6.

(3) Add one Function Key to close keyboard screen, i.e. to check [Key Button] and select

“Escape”.

(4) Add one Text Display component to input display box in the Display area with [Read

Address] set to LW9070 (LW9060 ~ LW9075 is the special memory which works as the

buffer of Number Input or Text Display Input.) and [Word Length] set to 6.

(5) Add twelve Function Keys as Character Input Keys in the Keyboard area. Take an example

to input [1]: Select “Unicode” after selecting [Keyboard Function], then input “1” in Input

area. And the operation for the other characters is similar to this operation.

Add three Function Keys as the special keys, i.e. select “Clear”, “Backspace” and “Enter”

respectively after selecting [Key Button] for the three Function Keys.

The final effects of the editing screen and the test are shown as the lower left and lower right

graphics respectively.

Alarm Display

Alarm Display icon can be used to display the triggered preset alarm information by using the

Neon Lamp in the area where the Alarm Display locates. The alarm information must be related to node

address of a certain bit, and it will scroll from the right to the left when the bit address is triggered to the

alarm state. The alarm information will continue to scroll until this bit address is switched to the non-

alarm state. The alarm information must be logged in the [Alarm Setting] database in advance. (This

component only displays the alarm information, and the component to be displayed must be logged in

the [Alarm Setting] database).

z Process of adding one Alarm Display

Press the Alarm Display icon, drag it to the screen, then the [Alarm Display Property] dialog

box will pop up.

Moving Step: Set the Moving Step in the unit of pixel. The larger the number of moving step,

the faster the speed of scroll display. The value is between 1 and 255.

Refresh Rate: Refers to the interval of each movement with the unit of 100 ms. The larger the

value of moving speed, the slower the speed of scroll display. The value is

between 1 and 10000 (i.e. 0.1 s to 1000 s).

Display Range: Set the range of alarm types to be displayed between 0 to 255. Restricting the

alarm types at this moment allows the display only optional alarm information.

Description: The descriptions can be entered to explain the Alarm Display components (the

descriptions will not be displayed in PT screen.).

z Freeplotting Component Property

When selecting [Solid Color] for the Type (drawing graphics using the bit memory)

Set the component size to 50×50, the memory address to LB0, the pattern color to red and the

values of 2500 memories (i.e. LB0 to LB2499) to be read by PT. Then when the memory value

is 1, the pixel point of the component corresponding to the communication address which

stored the values will be applied by red color.

communication address which stored the values will be drawn into the corresponding 65536 true

color according to the actual value read from the memory.

There are two refreshing methods for the components.

Refresh Cycle: The graphics are updated at a certain period. The minimum unit to update the
