9.3 Cautions on using the screen data for an other type of PLC
9.3.1 Cautions on using the screen data for an other type of PC
Cautions when the screen data for FX, the screen data for A, the screen data for SYSMAC C Series
(manufactured by OMRON) (hereinafter referred to as C) and the screen data for FLEX-PC N Series
(manufactured by Fuji Denki) (hereinafter referred to as N) are used for each other
When the existing screen data is used in an other type of PC (FX
↔
A, A
↔
C, FX
↔
C or for N), the data
can be used if the device Nos. specified for each screen or for system setting are included in the devices
available in the destination PC type. Other device Nos. which cannot be used in the destination PC type are
ignored and regarded as errors (Such device Nos. remain unchanged.).
However, special auxiliary relays and data registers for special characters are automatically converted into
the device Nos. in the destination PC.
For example, when the screen data created for an FX PC is used in an A PC or a SYSMAC C Series PC
(manufactured by OMRON), the data is converted as shown in "[4] Device list for each PC".
If the device range in the FX PC is exceeded or if the specified devices are not available in the destination PC
type, such devices are regarded as errors and remain unchanged.
The data is processed in the same way also in the FLEX-PC N Series (manufactured by Fuji Denki) and
general-purpose communication.
9.3.2 Cautions on change of the DU type
Cautions when the screen data for the 50DU-TK, the screen data for the 40DU-TK, the screen data for
the 40DU, the screen data for the 30DU, the screen data for the 25DU and the screen data for the
F940GOT are used for each other
When the existing screen data is used in an other type of DU (50DU-TK
↔
40DU-TK,50DU-TK
↔
40DU,
50DU-TK
↔
30DU or for 25DU or F940GOT), the objects (text, indicators, keyboard, etc.) set on each
screen can be used if such objects are available in the destination DU type. Other objects which cannot be
used in the destination DU type are deleted.
Even when an object is available in the destination DU type, it is regarded as an error if a coordinate
exceeding the screen of the destination DU type is specified.
9.3.3 Cautions on DU type setting when the drawing data is transferred (written) to the DU
When writing the screen data to a data access unit, make sure at first that the screen data type setting
(screen for FX, screen for A, screen for C or screen for N) is equivalent to the PC type setting in the data
access unit, then transfer the screen data.
The screen data transferred while the PC type setting is not equivalent may be treated as error data caused
by difference in usable devices.
In this case, when the PC type setting in the data access unit is aligned with the screen data type setting,
such a data is recognized as normal data.
