Global Setting Global Function Switch Setting Function switches [F1] to [F5] can be used on all screens in RUN mode with common functions. On the TS1000 Smart, the [F1] to [F5] switches are available when soft function switches are enabled.
1 System Buffering Area Setting Configure settings when using a sampling function (trend, alarm). For details, refer to “7.2.1 Buffering Area”, “8.2.1 Buffering Area”. Attribute Setting Configure settings when using the recipe function. For details, refer to “15 Recipes”. Other Configure settings when using each function.
Process Cycle Process Cycle The screen display speed during communication between the TS unit and the PLC depends on the number of parts (mainly the number of device memory addresses read from PLC) placed on the screen. When displaying more parts on the screen, the display speed and switch response may be slower. In such a case, it is possible to speed up the display process by differentiating between the data to be viewed in real time (high speed) and other parts (low speed).
1 System 1.2.2 Processing Sequence in the TS Processing in the TS unit is performed in the following order. • The TS analyzes screen data to be read from the PLC, and reads them in blocks. • All blocks corresponding to data set as high-speed are read in one cycle. •...
Process Cycle 1.2.3 One-cycle Processing The device memory set for [System Setting] → [Hardware Setting] → [Read Area] is read first. Next, the data in the device memory set for the items on the screen is read and drawn. When operations of all the setting data have been performed, the screen display is completed.
1 System 1.2.4 If Communication is Slow Try the following methods to speed up communication. Methods for Creating Screens Method Effect Consecutively allocate PLC device memory addresses that are used for the same The number of blocks decreases so the cycle time can be screen.
List of Internal Device Memory List of Internal Device Memory Internal device memory is the device memory in the TS unit that is available to users. Since processing is done internally within the TS unit, communication speed can be made quicker by using for operations that do not require data communication with a PLC.

5 Data Display • Device memory for offset value designation A single numerical display part can be used to show different data by switching the device memory address assigned to the part. This can help to reduce the number of screens or parts used and facilitate screen maintenance. Example: Displaying scheduled production volume, non-defective count, and defective count for a machine selected from No.

11 Graphics 11.1.3 Graphic Display Color Display Modes When graphics are displayed on the screen, there are two types of display modes. • XOR: Graphic colors are XORed with the colors of the base screen. • REP: Original graphic colors are shown. Whether XOR or REP is used for the display state is determined by the mode and parameter settings.
Page 460
11.1 Graphics XOR Display Transparency (Pattern Transparency) Because animation on a graphic display is always XORed, it is impossible to display the same colors on the screen as initially set for the background color (other than black). Additionally, because the XORed color is affected by the base color, when animation is performed on multiple background colors, the color changes whenever the background does.
11 Graphics Pattern editing • Set the color not to show on the screen for the [Transparent Color Setting] in the [Pattern Edit] window. • Only one transparent color can be set per pattern. • For a pattern like the one below, the perimeter color (red) is set as the transparent color. Consequently, when this pattern is displayed on the screen, the red area becomes transparent and the background color is displayed.
