A wide variety of objects can be used as required to create screens.
Some of the objects that can be used are described below.
Fixed Objects
Fixed objects, which do not provide any input functions, can be created on a screen.
Although fixed objects can be set to flicker, they are otherwise displayed on the screen in a constant
state.
Functional Objects
Functional objects can be used to communicate with internal memory in the PT or with a PLC. Func-
tional objects have both graphic and operational properties. The display of functional objects can be
changed according to the status of the PT or PLC, and they can be used to input data through opera-
tions from the PT.
Table
A table object provides multiple functional objects in a single table format.
Frame
A frame object enables the creation of areas on a screen so that only part of the screen can be
switched to another page. Frames consist of more than one page, and the displayed contents of the
functional objects configuring each page can be switched based on PT or PLC status. Frames can
contain fixed objects, functional objects, and tables.
Background
A background is a graphic screen that is displayed as the background of other screens.
Bitmap files and JPEG files can be displayed as backgrounds.
Registering Created Objects
Created objects can be registered in a library so that they can be easily reused at many different loca-
tions or on different screens.
The following objects can be registered in the library.
Fixed objects, functional objects, tables, and frames
User screens
Library objects
Alarm/event
