Page 289 “Storage Type” and is stored after conversion to signed binary data. Accordingly, the same data will be interpreted in different ways by the NT631/NT631C depending on the setting made for “Storage Type”. Reference Signed binary data expresses negative values as the complement of two (the bits are inverted and 1 is added).

Page 291 The “Initial” setting determines whether the contents of numeral memory tables are written to the allocated word(s) at the host when the power to the NT631/NT631C is turned ON, when the NT631/NT631C is reset, or on transition from the System Menu to the RUN mode.
Page 292 S By operation of the “PT status control area”, data can be copied between memory tables from the host (page 260). S If the contents of numeral memory tables are changed by operation at the NT631/NT631C, the change is notified to the “PT status notify area” (page 269).
Page 293: Character String Memory Tables
Since they can be allocated to words at the host, the contents of words at the host can be displayed as character strings at the NT631/NT631C via character string memory tables. Character string memory tables are assigned character string memory table num- bers so that they can be managed and designated individually.
Page 294 Check mark (initialize)/No check mark (do not initialize) This setting determines whether or not the allocated words at the host are initialized when the power to the NT631/NT631C is turned ON, when the NT631/NT631C is reset, and on transition from the System Menu to the RUN mode.
Page 295 The “Initial” setting determines whether the contents of character string memory tables are written to the allocated word(s) at the host when the power to the NT631/NT631C is turned ON, when the NT631/NT631C is reset, or on transition from the System Menu to the RUN mode.
Page 296 S By operation of the “PT status control area”, data can be copied between memory tables from the host (page 270). S If the contents of character string memory tables are changed by operation at the NT631/NT631C, the change is notified to the “PT status notify area” (page 269).
Page 297: Bit Memory Tables
Section 7-3 Memory Tables 7-3-3 Bit Memory Tables [Function Outline] Bit memory tables are internal memories for bit data. They are allocated to a bit at the host to monitors a bit, and can execute a specific function in accordance with the status of that bit. Bit memory tables are assigned bit memory table numbers so that they can be managed and designated individually.
Page 298 Section 7-3 Memory Tables S Operation when using the alarm list/history function The operation when using the alarm list/history function is as follows. Reference - For the alarm list function, display is in ascending order of bit memory table numbers. For the alarm history function display is in occurrence order (from newest record/from oldest record) or frequency order.
Page 299 Section 7-3 Memory Tables Reference - In the case described above, both “image/library display” and “screen change- over” functions are set. The operation when a touch switch is pressed is deter- mined as follows in accordance with these settings. Touch switch Image/library Image/library Screen...

Page 623: Maintenance Of The Nt631/Nt631C
Spare PT It is advisable to have a spare NT631/NT631C available to minimize system down- time in the event of an NT631/NT631C failure or if the screen display becomes difficult to read due to deterioration of the display unit. Backlight (for NT631C only) When the backlight in the display is getting dim and the screen cannot be read eas- ily, replace the backlight.
Page 624 Section 11-3 Maintenance of the NT631/NT631C Replacing the Backlight Use the following procedure to replace the backlight. WARNING Switch OFF the NT631C power before replacing the backlight. Otherwise you could sustain an electric shock. Replace the backlight by following the procedure given below: NT631C–CFL01 (for NT631C–ST151j–E)
Page 625 Section 11-3 Maintenance of the NT631/NT631C Loosen two mounting screws, and remove the backlight. When loosening or tightening screws for backlights, be sure to use a magne- tized Phillips screwdriver. If any screw falls inside the unit, it must be extri- cated without fail.
Page 626 Section 11-3 Maintenance of the NT631/NT631C Fit the touch panel cable. Be sure to lock the connector as in step 4 after fitting. Close the rear case, and tighten four screws. Make sure that the internal cable is not trapped.
Page 627 Section 11-3 Maintenance of the NT631/NT631C [Removing and fitting the touch panel cable] S Removing the touch panel cable: Pull the arrow-marked sections up to the cable side to unlock the connector, and remove the cable. S Fitting the touch panel cable: While unlocking the connector, insert the touch panel cable fully.
Page 628 Section 11-3 Maintenance of the NT631/NT631C Engage backlight connectors at the top and the bottom respectively in place. The backlight cable has a polarity; refer to the figure below. White White Fit two touch panel cables at the top. Be sure to lock the connectors as in step 4 after fitting.
Page 629: Replacing The Battery
The NT631/NT631C uses a lithium battery to back up the memory contents. The battery life is about 5 years if the NT631/NT631C is used in a location where the ambient temperature is 25_C. If the temperature at the location of use is higher than this, the battery life will be shorter.
Page 630 The connector of the new battery must be connected within 5 minutes after dis- connecting the old battery’s connector. However, the battery can be replaced while the NT631/NT631C power is on, and in this case there is no time restric- tion.
Page 631: Inspection And Cleaning
Inspection and Cleaning 11-4 Inspection and Cleaning Clean and inspect the NT631/NT631C regularly to ensure that it is always used in its optimum condition. Cleaning Method If the display is dirty the screen is difficult to see. Clean the screen from time to time as follows.
Page 632 Inspect the following points to determine if there is any divergence from the stated criteria. If there is, either improve the surrounding environment so that the values fall within the stated range, or adjust the NT631/NT631C, for example by re-tightening screws.
