Customize Setup (N:1) - Digital Electronics Pro-face GP-377 Series User Manual

Chapter 5 - Installation and Wiring

5.5.3 CUSTOMIZE SETUP (n:1)

The Customize function modifies the n:1 (multi-link) connection's communication
method to make it more effective. To run communication efficiently, the user
should first determine whether they wish to have Operation or Display priority set
for the GP. Based on this, the communication response speed can be upgraded.
(However, this also depends on the screen information displayed.)
PLC PRIORITY
According to how the GP is used, select either Operation priority (OPE.) or
Display priority.
Operation
Setup the GP to this option when using the GP mainly as an operation panel. As a
result, the GP will command better touch panel numeric input and switch response
times.
Leaving the GP in this mode does not drastically influence the touch panel opera-
tion response time of other GPs. The screen display renewal cycle,however, will
slow.
Display
Setup the GP to this option when using the GP mainly as a monitor screen. The
GP will command a higher display speed as a result; however, the response time
for the touch panel's operations will slow.
• In a standard network setup, use the same setup for all connected GP's.
• To increase the display speed, be sure the addresses used are consecutive addresses.
When bit addresses are used, use consecutive to the word units.
