• Character-string memory table
Allocation destination: Word
NT11
Character-string memory table entry 1
Number of allocated words: 3
First word: DM0100
Allocate character-string memory table entries to arbitrary words in the PLC. If
word contents change when corresponding character-string memory table
entry is displayed on the screen, the value on the screen will also change.
Messages can be displayed easily.
Reading and writing are executed so that the contents of allocated words are
always the same as those of the character-string memory table entries.
The "PT status control area" is used to control the NT11 status. When data is
written to this area in the PLC, the NT11 reads the contents and operates
according to the contents.
[Example of the PT status control area application]
When data is written to the PT status control area, the NT11 will operate as
given below.
