Chapter 1 System Setting SYSTEM System Setting POWER The “system setting” includes the settings that are required for MONITOUCH to communicate with the PLC, screen data settings and other settings as well as those for the MONITOUCH system. Before transferring screen data to MONITOUCH, be sure to check the system setting.
Chapter 1 System Setting Starting the System Setting Click the [System Setting] menu on the V-SFT editor. The setting items are displayed in the drop-down menu. Select the desired menu item. Initial Setting Items The system setting cannot be altered on MONITOUCH. The system setting must be set for each screen data file and is transferred to MONITOUCH with the screen data.
Chapter 1 System Setting PLC Type Depending on the MONITOUCH model, the compatible PLC models vary. For compatible PLC models, refer to the Hardware Specifications Manual or “Chapter 5 Transfer” in the Reference Manual (Operation). When [Universal Serial] or a network-compatible model (JPCN-1, T-Link, CC-Link, Ethernet, PROFIBUS-DP or NET/10) is selected for [PLC Type], there are separate communication unit manuals that you should read.
Chapter 1 System Setting ♦ [Read Area] ([Main 1] tab window) The read area is the area where the PLC gives commands for display or operation to MONITOUCH. At least 3 words of consecutive memory addresses are secured. MONITOUCH always reads data from these 3 words to display and operate according to the commands.
Page 42
Chapter 1 System Setting Watch Dog • When the PLC is communicating with MONITOUCH, there is no means for the PLC to know whether or not MONITOUCH is performing operations correctly. To solve this one-way communication, change data in bits 0 to 7 in [Read Area] “n” and check that the same data is saved in bits 0 to 7 in [Write Area] “n.”...
Page 43
Chapter 1 System Setting • Bit 11 (calendar setting) This bit is not valid when the V7 series built-in clock, V6 series SRAM cassette built-in clock or handy type built-in clock is used. For information on the built-in clock, refer to “Chapter 24 SRAM.” When the built-in clock is not used, this bit should be used differently depending on whether the connecting PLC is equipped with the calendar function.

Chapter 9 Graphic Display Graphic Colors 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. This is determined by the settings for the mode or parameters.
Chapter 9 Graphic Display XORed Colors When graphic colors are XORed with the colors of the base screen, the following colors take effect. This color is called “XORed color.” XORed colors of basic eight colors are shown below. All the codes for basic eight colors are the same for the V series. For other codes, different codes are used for the V7 and V6 series.
Chapter 9 Graphic Display Canceling the XOR Display (Transparent Pattern) Normally, because things like [Animate] that took place on the graphic display were all XORed, it was impossible to display colors on the screen in the same colors that you initially created them in (when the colors were other than black). Additionally, because the XORed color was affected by the base color, when animation was performed on multiple background colors, the color changed whenever the background did.
Chapter 9 Graphic Display Screen Edit You must make a setting in the [Transparent] dialog on the pattern edit window. “Transparent” means that when a pattern is placed on the screen, locations not necessary for display are hidden so that the pattern can be displayed in the actual registered rectangle size.

The font setting procedure for the multi-language selection is as follows: 1. Specify the number of selectable languages for [Changing Characters]. (1 to 8) 2.
Chapter 29 Language Selection [Import]/[Export]/[ [ ] Provided] Use these options when you edit multi-language with a CSV file. For more information, refer to “Multi-language Edit/When Editing a CSV File.” mentioned later. Language 1 Edit Language 1 is the language for the original screen data file. When you create an ordinary screen, all text (texts in drawing, switch/lamp texts, message edit, etc.,) that are related to the font are edited as Language 1.
Page 675
Chapter 29 Language Selection If you click on the desired cell of Language 2, etc., the cursor for entering text appears. Enter the characters that match the corresponding font. The length of character strings in Language 2 should be about the same as in Language 1. Length difference may cause the character strings to overlap or will unbalance the screen.
Chapter 29 Language Selection • Paste 1. Select [Paste] from the [Edit] menu. The following [Paste] dialog is displayed: [Language] Select the target language to be pasted. [Start Line] (0 to (No. of the characters − 1)) Select the number of the start line to be pasted. 2.

The setting procedure is almost the same as the one for the multi-language selection with [English/Western Europe], etc.
Chapter 29 Language Selection Note that the setting for each point of the Language 1 (English/Western Europe HK Gothic) effects the setting of Language 2 (English/Western Europe HK Times). If you change the setting for either one, the setting for the other will also be changed.
Chapter 29 Language Selection Displayed Character Selection The setting procedure is almost same as the “Multi-Language Selection” mentioned before. However, you cannot change the fonts because a CF card is not used. Therefore, you need to specify the same font for [Language 1] and [Language 2] in the [Font Setting] dialog.
Chapter 29 Language Selection Language 1 Edit Language 1 is the language for the original screen data file. When you create an ordinary screen, all text (texts in drawing, switch/lamp texts, message edit, etc.,) that are related to the font are edited as Language 1. Edit for Language 2, etc.
Chapter 29 Language Selection Multi-language Screen You can register multiple languages using the same screen data file. However, you cannot change the language in the RUN mode. Language change is available by reloading the screen data setting in the target language for each situation.
