The screens displayed on the NT11 are managed by the screen numbers.
Screen numbers are set when the screen data are created by using the sup-
port tool. Up to 250 screens can be set by allocating arbitrarily selected num-
bers 1 to 250.
The display screens can be switched or the start-up screen can be set by des-
ignating the screen number from the PLC.
Screen number "0" is reserved for the system as the no-display screen. Select
this to display nothing on the NT11 screen.
The NT11 screen can display characters, bar graphs, and other various ele-
ments.
This section describes the types and attributes of the characters and figures
which can be displayed and do not need to be changed at all.
For the settings, display, and use of the characters, numeric values, and
graphs which change according to the system operation status and other con-
ditions, refer to 4-3 Areas for Control/Notification (page 89) and 5-3 Memory
Table Entries and Bar Graph (page 115).
The power of expression of the screen can be increased by giving various
attributes such as the enlarged or reverse display to the characters and fig-
ures.
The character and figure attributes can be set in the edit screen when creating
the screen data by using the support tool.
