Numeral display process
As following prcess is for when display type is real number.
1st Saves the processed value as the designated data type reading by serial
communication at 32bit memory. Even though the designated device is 16bit in
‘Basic’ device, it saves at 32bit memory of GP/LP.
2nd Executes operation by the designated factor1, factor2, and offset in ‘Operation’ tab.
3rd Displays the designated type on screen.



At 1st process, if the device of controller (PLC) is 32bit with sign/without sign, the value
which is saved at device is saved as it is at 32bit memory of GP/LP.
If the device of controller (PLC) is 16bit with sign/without sign and positive number, the
value which is saved device is saved as it is at lower word for 32bit memory of GP/LP.
Be note that when it is 16bit with sign and negative number. For example, if the saved value
which is processed as number with sign on 16 bit memory of controller is same as negative
16
number -1, the saved value of controller is two’s complement of -1 as 2 -1=65535. When
this value is saved at 32bit GP/LP memory, this is two’s complement for -1 about 32bit as
32
2 -1=4,294,967,295.



Display value is different depending on display type as decimal with sign or decimal without
sign. The operated value which is decimal with sign, it processes 32bit number with sign, or
the operated value which is decimal without sign, it processes 32bit number without sign.

The following figure is that saved value -1 in 16bit memory of controller is saved 32bit GP/LP
memory in accordance with designation of 16bit with/without sign and displayed screen in
accordance with designation of display type as with/without sign.

devie menu is needed.
Mono type must use link device with CH2 to communicate 1:N.
Color type is able to monitor directly PLC device of each channel (CH1,CH2). Therefore, color
type does not use link device and is able to communicate 1:N without CH1, CH2 division.
However, PLC which supports station is only able to communicate 1:N.

8.5.1

Basic operation
This function is for that a base screen or overlap screen switches by designated word device
value. For switching a base screen, one device register must be allotted. Therefore data register
is alloted as default. Switching overlap window is available up to two for option, overlap window
1, 2 are overlapped successively on a base screen.

③Overlap Window 1

④Device

Check this for using overlap window 1. The specified base screen is
overlapped depending on the designated word device value.
If both overlap window 1 and 2 are checked, overlap window 2 is
always placed on overlap window1. When it is overlapped, it is affected
on security configuration of the specified screen and it is overlapped
when it is canceled. It displays allowed security level objects and it does
not display over allowed security level object.

⑤Device

Designate word device for switching overlap window 1 screen.
If changing this device value, overlap window 1 screen switches into the
changed device value screen.

⑥Overlap Window 2

Check this for using overlap window2. The specified base screen is
overlapped depending on the designated word device value.

⑦Device

Designate word device for switching overlap window 2 screens. If
changing this device value, overlap window 2 screen switches into the
changed device value screen.

mouse button, pop-up menu appears. Select ‘Screen’ and ‘Screen Auxiliary Property’
dialog box appears.
2nd Designate ‘Security Level’ as over 1.
3rd Security level is from 0 to 15. The screen which security level is 0 is available to
anyone without inputting password.
4th Select [Common]-[Security] of menu, ‘Security’ dialog box appears. You can desigate
password by each security level.
5th Double-click the level to be set password or select the level and click ‘Edit’ in
‘Security’ dialog box.
6th ‘Password’ dialog box appears. Input the desired password.
7th Click ‘OK’ and ‘********’ is displayed next to the level to be set password in ‘Level
Password’ box of ‘Security’ dialog box.
8th Click ‘Close’ and complete security setting.

To see the screen which is set security level in GP/LP, the password which is for this security
level or higher level should be inputted and security is released.
For example, if you input password for security level 5, you can edit the screen which have
security level 5 or below. However, you cannot edit the screen which have security level 6 or
higher.

appears.



When switching into the screen which has higher security level than the released
security level, key window appears automatically.

※1. Password code appears when key window for password is called, it is encoded about the
top level password. When you forgot the password, send this code to Autonics and we will
inform you about the password.
(2) Reset security
Touch touch key with function key (FFAD) and reset security. When switching into the
screen which is released security, input password again.
(3) Security from system setting
You can designate security not to edit important settings from system setting menu in GP/LP.
System setting’s each below menu is able to be set security. If trying to enter the other
menu which is set security, key window for inputting password appears. Input correct
password. If wrong password is inputted, you cannot enter the desired menu.
(4) Overlap for the screen set security
When switching into base screen which has overlap screen, the screens which have higher
security level than the base screen’s level are not displayed. The screen which has same
security level or below level is displayed only.
When designating security level and password in GP Editor as following, it operates with



Monitors to project function
Regardless currently displayed screen in GP, monitors the designated monitor device. If it
satisfies trigger conditions, it executes the set operation.



Monitors to screen function
If currently displayed screen in GP is set monitor, monitors the designated monitor device. If
it satisfies trigger conditions, it executes the set operation.

Execution order

1st GP reads monitor device of designated PLC.
2nd Determines whether monitor device satisfies trigger conditions or not. (GP inner)
3rd If it satisfies trigger conditions, sets the specified bit device, or word device value.
(GP→PLC)
4th Waits next sampling cycle.
Repeats 1st to 4th execution.
It it satisfies trigger conditions at the point of previous sampling time, it skips designated
operation for current time. When trigger conditions are lasted during successive sample section,
designated operation executes in the first sample. For momentary action which maintains
momentary ON the device only when it satisfies trigger conditions, device is turned ON from
OFF by PLC program or forced input.

8.10.2.1

Action
When monitor device is satisfied trigger condition, action is devided as bit or word.
(1) Bit action
Bit action has four kinds operation.
① Set: Turns ON the device when trigger occurs.
② Reset: Turns OFF the device when trigger occurs.
③ Alternate: Alternates the current state of designated device when trigger occurs.
④ Momentary: Maintains momentary ON the designated device only when trigger occurs.

The above feature is for device state with sampling at set, reset, alternate, momentary
action. Trigger 1, and trigger 2 display two trigger device state. When both is ON, it
satisfies trigger conditions.

Below feature is for the monitor operation to turn ON Y0 device when two bit trigger devices
as M100, M101 is both ON.
GP screen has the lamp for Y0 state. At the first feature, both M100 and M101 are OFF
state, it does not satisfy trigger conditions and the lamp for Y0 does not turn ON. When both
M100 and M101 are ON, it satisfies trigger conditions, and the lamp for Y0 turns ON.

(2) Word action
1) 16 bit word setting: Assigns the value to 16 bit word device.
2)

32bit word setting: Assigns the value to 32 bit word device.

You can designate this as fixed value or as indirect using device.

Example of setting indirect: In case, designated trigger device as M100(ON), Fixed
value=10, Indirect device=D50 for M100. When M100 in ON, D50 value + 10 is set at D100.
