2
Use the vector font as much as possible if the smaller capacity of project file is preferable.
Because the Bitmap Font and graphic font have many disadvantages in the storage space and
resizing etc, therefore, use the vector font as much as possible.
3
The types of the vector font can be reduced when the screen can meet the requirements.
If too many types of vector fonts (e.g. dozens or more) are used by the user, the number of font files
will be too many, thus affecting the compilation speed, downloading speed and screen switching
speed.
4
Install the same fonts for all the PC environments to edit text strings.
If a certain project uses “Microsoft Elegant Black” font when it is edited on PC, and when it is
transferred to another PC where no “Microsoft Elegant Black” font exists for editing, then all the
“Microsoft Elegant Black” characters used in the project will be changed to arbitrary font which is
decided as optimal by the operation system.
Note
When the font installed with Windows is used, use it only after confirming the font will not give rise to
problems under the Copyright Law.
3-5-10 Basic Properties of Component
Basic Properties of Component
Priority
It is pre-reserved for the function.
Write
Address
If the component supports read only, you cannot set to writing addresses. The status of the components will
be displayed based on the reading addresses.
PT
Number of the controlled PT. The numbers are allocated automatically when the PT is
placed on [Configuration and Setup Window].
PLC No.
Number of the controlled PLC. The numbers are allocated automatically when the PLC
is placed on [Configuration and Setup Window].
Change Station
Number
This option can be used to access the specific PLC during the communication with
multiple PLCs. This option is applicable when editing only one PLC in the case one PT
is connected with multiple devices or multiple PTs are connected with multiple devices.
Area/Variable
Refers to the memory of PLC device to be controlled or the internal memory of the PT.
For the internal address type of PT, refer to
3-5-4 Read/Write Address for PLC (Page 3-
57)
.
Address
Specifies address to be written to.
Data Format
The code type includes BIN, BCD, and LSB. When BIN or BCD code is used, it allows to
display 256 of statuses at maximum and when LSB code is used, it allows to display 17
of statuses at maximum. (Refer to
8 LSB Type (Page 3-363)
in the section 3-16).
Word Length
Refers to the number of the occupied memories. The default number is 1, and it varies
with the different component or area/variable.
System memory
Refers to the internal memories provided by the PT for some special purposes. For
details, refer to
3-11 Address of System Memory (Page 3-319)
.
Format (Range)
Refers to the formats of the address types of the PLC memories or the internal memory
address of the PT.
Use Variable
Determines whether to use the addresses registered in the variables. For details, refer
to
3-8-2 Variable Table (Page 3-240)
.
Use the index
memory
Determines whether to use the specified memory as the index memory for the control
memory of the current component. The new [Read/Write Address] = the specified
[Read/Write Address] + [Index Address]. For example, when the specified written
address is D100 and the index memory address is LW0, if LW0=10, the new write
address is D100+10=D110.
Read
Address
If the component supports write only, you cannot set to reading addresses. The status of the components
will be displayed based on the writing addresses.
Description
Refers to the reference name assigned to the current component (not displayed).
