6-10 Starting Operations

The host and PT connected to it start operating after the project data has finished being

transferred and the System Menu settings (communications conditions with the host, etc.)

have been completed.

Note

Start actual operation only after sufficiently checking the operation of the screen data and

host programming.

@ Switching to RUN Mode and Starting Up

Pressing the Exit Button at the top right of the screen in the System Menu will display the

screen that was displayed before moving to the System Menu, change the status to RUN

mode, and start running the PT. The pop-up screens that were open before switching to the

System Menu, however, will not be displayed.

Reference

@ Checking Communications with the Host

Execute the host program and check that the following operations are normal.

· Check that the PT screens will switch according to the host program.

If the screen displays cannot be switched normally, check whether the PT and host are

connected properly, and whether the hardware settings are correct. For details, refer to

Section 4 Connecting the Host to the Serial Port or Section 5 Connecting to Host via

Ethernet or Controller Link.

· Use the Support Software (CX-Programmer, etc.) to display the details on words and bits to

check that the results of PT button operations and numerical/character string input opera-

tions have been properly transmitted to the host.

· If the operation results are not transmitted to the host properly, check the object settings.

Refer to the object descriptions in the PT Programming Manual for details on object set-

tings.

The error message indicating a project read error will be displayed if the System Menu

is closed while screen data is being initialized. Always transfer the screen data from the

NS-Designer or Memory Card after initializing screen data.
