1. Make the settings for the HMI in the System Common block (Block Model
000).
2. Set tags as follows:
• Function block data: Set CSV tags.
• Individual contact signals: Set tags for Monitor Plus for the contacts in the
Internal Switch block (Block Model 209).
• Individual analog signals from LCU to computer: Set tags for Monitor Plus
for the analog signals in the Input Selection block (Block Model 162).
• Individual analog signals from computer to LCU: Set tags for Monitor Plus
for the analog signals in the Constant Generator block (Block Model 166).
Note For both the Loop Control Unit and Loop Control Board, the follow-
ing function blocks must be created and connected separately to
enable monitoring and setting individual contact signals and indi-
vidual analog signals (i.e., other than function block data).
• To monitor and set individual contact signals, contact signals must be
input/output using the Contact Distributor block (Block Model 201) and
Internal Switch block (Block Model 209).
• To monitor individual analog signals, analog signals must be output
from the Input Selection block (Block Model 162).
• To set individual analog signals, analog signals must be input to the
Constant Generator block (Block Model 166).
The tag file for Monitor Plus must be compiled (Execute – Create Tag File –
Monitor Plus Tag).
The following dialog box will be displayed if a tag file for Monitor Plus is output
while the CX-Process Monitor Plus is running.
Tag information will not be updated if a tag file for Monitor Plus is output dur-
ing CX-Process Monitor Plus operation. To update the tag file, restart the CX-
Process Monitor Plus.
