Character String Display
Section 7-9
[Restrictions]
S
A maximum of 256 character string displays can be registered for one screen.
(Same for window screen.) For an overlapping screen comprising 8 child
screens, the maximum is 1024.
There is no restriction on the number of character string displays that can be reg-
istered for one screen data file: any number can be registered as long as the
data file capacity is not exceeded. However, if a large number of elements are
registered, check that the restrictions on element display are complied with by
referring to “Display Restrictions” (page 644).
The maximum number of character string display which can be displayed using
“indirect reference” is 100 per screen combined with the number of numeral dis-
play which is displayed using “indirect reference”.
(Same restriction applies to overlapping screens or when displaying window
screens.)
S
The following numbers of characters can be displayed in one character string
display, depending on the scale.
1
1 (Equal): Up to 40 characters
2
1 (Wide): Up to 40 characters
1
2 (High):
Up to 20 characters
2
2:
Up to 20 characters
3
3:
Up to 13 characters
4
4:
Up to 10 characters
8
8:
Up to 5 characters
If the character string display size exceeds the screen size with the specified val-
ue, its display position is automatically changed so that the character string is
displayed within the screen.
In case the charactor string display can not be displayed within the screen even if
the Support Tool has changed its position, the error message will be displayed.
S
The characters that can be displayed are alphanumerics, symbols and Marks.
Marks are displayed at the standard height even if “Half Height” is set as the Font
Type. Therefore, if normal alphanumerics and symbols are displayed after dis-
playing a mark, part of the mark will remain displayed, as shown in the figure
below.
S
If “Half Height” is set for “Font Type”, and a character string is written after dis-
playing Marks, a part of the Marks will remain displayed, as shown below.
A B C D E
a b c d e f g h i j
In this case, create blank characters as marks, write these marks, and then write
the alphanumeric and symbol character string over them.
