Notes on Safe Usage of MONITOUCH

In this manual, you will find various notes categorized under the following levels with the signal words “DANGER”,
and “CAUTION”.

Note that there is a possibility that the item listed with may have serious ramifications.

DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury and could cause property damage.

• Never use the output function of MONITOUCH for operations that may threaten human life or damage the

system, such as switches to be used in case of emergency. Please design the system so that it can cope
with the malfunction of a touch switch. A malfunction of the touch switch will result in machine accident or
damage.

• Turn off the power supply when you set up the unit, connect new cables, or perform maintenance or

inspections. Failure to do so could cause electric shock or damage to the unit.

• Never touch any terminals while the power is on. Otherwise, electric shock may occur.

• You must put a cover on the terminals on the unit when you turn the power on and operate the unit. Without

the terminal cover in place, electric shock may occur.

• The liquid crystal in the LCD panel is a hazardous substance. If the LCD panel is damaged, do not ingest

the leaked liquid crystal. If the liquid crystal spills on skin or clothing, use soap and wash off thoroughly.

• For MONITOUCH using a lithium battery, never disassemble, recharge, deform by pressure, short-circuit,
reverse the polarity (+/−) of the battery, or dispose of the battery in fire. Failure to follow these conditions will
lead to explosion or fire.

• For MONITOUCH using a lithium battery, never use a battery that is deformed, leaks, or shows any other
signs of abnormality. Failure to follow these conditions will lead to explosion or fire.

• If the screen becomes dark due to a failure or service life of the backlight, the POWER lamp starts flashing.
The switches on the screen remain active even in this condition. However, if the screen is too dark to view
the switches while the POWER lamp is flashing, do not touch the screen. Doing so could cause unexpected
activation, resulting in machine damage or accident.

CAUTION

DANGER

• Check the appearance of MONITOUCH when it is unpacked. Do not use the unit if any damage or

deformation is found. Failure to do so may lead to fire, damage, or malfunction.

• For use in a facility or for a system related to nuclear energy, aerospace, medical, traffic equipment, or

mobile installations, please consult your local distributor.

• Operate (or store) MONITOUCH under the conditions indicated in this manual and related manuals. Failure

to do so could cause fire, malfunction, physical damage or deterioration.

• Understand the following environmental limits for use and storage of MONITOUCH. Otherwise, fire or

damage to the unit may result.

- Avoid locations where there is a possibility that water, corrosive gas, flammable gas, solvents, grinding
fluids or cutting oil can come into contact with the unit.

- Avoid high temperature, high humidity, and outside weather conditions, such as wind, rain or direct
sunlight.

- Avoid locations where excessive dust, salt, and metallic particles are present.

- Avoid installing the unit in a location where vibration or physical shock may be transmitted.

• Equipment must be correctly mounted so that the main terminal of MONITOUCH can not be touched

inadvertently. Otherwise, an accident or electric shock may occur.

• Tighten the fixtures of MONITOUCH with a torque in the specified range. Excessive tightening may distort

the panel surface. Loose tightening may cause MONITOUCH to come off, malfunction, or be short-circuited.

• Check periodically that terminal screws on the power supply terminal block and fixtures are firmly tightened.

Loosened screws may result in fire or malfunction.

• Tighten terminal screws on the power supply terminal block equally to a torque of 0.5 N•m. Improper

tightening of screws may result in fire, malfunction, or other trouble.

• MONITOUCH has a glass screen. Do not drop or give physical shock to the unit. Otherwise, the screen

may be damaged.

• Connect the cables correctly to the terminals of MONITOUCH in accordance with the specified voltage and

wattage. Over-voltage, over-wattage, or incorrect cable connection could cause fire, malfunction or damage
to the unit.

• Be sure to establish a ground of MONITOUCH. The FG terminal must be used exclusively for the unit with
the level of grounding resistance less than 100 Ω. Otherwise, electric shock or fire may occur.

• Prevent any conductive particles from entering the MONITOUCH. Failure to do so may lead to fire, damage,
or malfunction.

• After wiring is finished, remove the paper used as a dust cover before starting to operate MONITOUCH.
Operation with the cover attached may result in accident, fire, malfunction, or other trouble.

• Do not attempt to repair MONITOUCH at your site. Ask Hakko or the designated contractor for repair.

• Do not disassemble or modify MONITOUCH. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur.

• Hakko Electronics Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damages resulting from repair, overhaul or

modification of MONITOUCH that was performed by an unauthorized person.

• Do not use a sharp-pointed tool when pressing a touch switch. Doing so may damage the screen.

• Only experts are authorized to set up the unit, connect the cables, or perform maintenance and inspections.

• For MONITOUCH using a lithium battery, handle the battery with care. The combustible materials such as

lithium or organic solvent contained in the battery may generate heat, explode, or catch fire, resulting in
personal injury or fire. Read related manuals carefully and handle the lithium battery correctly as instructed.

• When using a MONITOUCH that has an analog switch resolution with resistance film, do not press two or
more points on the screen at the same time. If two or more positions are pressed at the same time, the
switch located between the pressed positions will activate.

• Take safety precautions during such operations as setting change during running, forced output, start, and
stop. Any misoperation may cause unexpected machine motions, resulting in machine accident or damage.

• In facilities where a failure of MONITOUCH could lead to accident threatening human life or other serious
damage, be sure that the facilities are equipped with adequate safeguards.

• At the time of disposal, MONITOUCH must be treated as industrial waste.

• Before touching MONITOUCH, discharge static electricity from your body by touching grounded metal.

Excessive static electricity may cause malfunction or other trouble.

• During the CF card power supply, the LED inside the CF card cover illuminates in red. If you remove the CF
card or turn the MONITOUCH off while the LED is illuminating, data on the CF card may become corrupt.
Before removing the CF card or turning MONITOUCH off, ensure that the LED is not illuminating.

CAUTION

[General Notes]

• Never bundle control cables and input/output cables with high-voltage and large-current carrying cables such

as power supply cables. Keep these cables at least 200 mm away from high-voltage and large-current
carrying cables. Otherwise, malfunction may occur due to noise.

• When using MONITOUCH in an environment where a source of high-frequency noise is present, it is

recommended that the FG shielded cable (communication cable) be grounded at its ends. However, the cable
may be grounded only at one end if necessary due to unstable communication conditions, or for any other
reason.

• Plug connectors or sockets of MONITOUCH in their correct orientation. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur.

• When an LAN cable is wrongly connected to the MJ1/MJ2 connector, the counterpart device may be damaged.

Double-check the connector to avoid improper insertion.

• Do not use thinners for cleaning because they may discolor the MONITOUCH surface. Use an alcohol-based

cleaner which is commercially available.

• If a “data receive error” occurs when MONITOUCH and the counterpart (PLC, temperature controller, etc.) are

started at the same time, read the manual for the counterpart unit and handle the error correctly.

• Avoid discharging static electricity on the mounting panel of MONITOUCH. Static charges can damage the

unit and cause malfunctions. Otherwise, malfunction may occur due to noise.

• Avoid prolonged display of any fixed pattern. Due to the characteristics of the liquid crystal display, an

afterimage may occur. If a prolonged display of a fixed pattern is expected, use the auto OFF function of the
backlight.

[Notes on LCD]

Note that the following conditions may occur under normal circumstances:

• The response time, brightness and colors of MONITOUCH may be affected by ambient temperature.

• Tiny spots (dark or luminescent) may appear on the display due to liquid crystal characteristics.

• There are variations in brightness and colors on each unit.

• Color cathode tubes are incorporated into the LCD display for backlights. Optical properties (brightness,

irregular colors, etc.) may change in a low-temperature environment or over time of operation.

Portrait Orientation

The V806 series can be installed in portrait orientation.

V-SFT

When the box for [ Portrait] is checked in the [Edit Model Selection] dialog, V-SFT editing that suits a
portrait-orientated unit is possible.

For where the setting item is provided, refer to page 1-1.

Notes

• In a case where you attempt to convert landscape-orientated data in V-SFT to portrait-oriented
data (by automatic resizing), the following dialog appears.
You cannot undo the conversion.

• Automatic resizing is executable in the following areas:
Screen, screen library, overlap library, graphic library, and data block

• Character properties will be adjusted to a maximum extent, according to resizing.
However, such an adjustment to character properties is not available with the following functions:
bit order alarming, alarm sub-display, time order alarming, alarm logging, message mode, data
sampling, alarm tracking, and memory card

• For any parts which are not ready for automatic resizing, resize them by manual operation.

• Unchecking the box for [ Place switches on switch grids] (in the V-SFT, [View] → [Grid] → [Grid
Setting]) will help resize characters neatly.

• When specifying the coordinates (start X, start Y) of an overlap in dots, they are determined in
increments of one dot on the X axis and four dots on the Y axis. (For landscape orientation,
coordinates are determined in increments of four dots on the X axis and one dot on the Y axis.)
Therefore, when portrait orientation is adopted, a Y-axis coordinate will be rounded down to a

multiple of 4.

Be sure that the power supply faces upward. In this position, the function switches on the V806 are
in a lower position.

Display Function Compatible with EL-type MONITOUCH

• When the EL-type MONITOUCH “GD-80E” or “V609E” (production discontinued) is substituted,
“V808CD” is recommended as an alternative.

• The vertical resolution of V808CD is 80 dots greater than the EL-type MONITOUCH. With this
function, the screen data is automatically displayed in the vertical center on V808CD. Therefore,
the EL-type MONITOUCH can easily be substituted by V808CD without the need to change the
layout of the screen data.

• When the EL-type MONITOUCH is substituted by V808CD, the screen data can be converted into
two-color display, which is the same as on the EL-type MONITOUCH, at the same time.

* If any setting other than “128 colors” is specified, this function cannot be used.

Display Limitations

• When the global overlap display has been hidden by the internal command (switch or macro
command) after it was brought up by the external command, bit 3 of the external command must
be set (0 → 1) to display the global overlap display again. It is recommended that you use the
external command to hide the overlap display once it has been shown by the external command.

• Note that the overlap display with “superimpose” is placed over the global overlap display.

• When the global overlap display with “superimpose” is shown, the transparent color and the blend
value become the same as those set for the screen on which the global overlap display first
appeared.

• The global overlap display is not shown while the login screen registered on the [Security Setting]
dialog is displayed.
After the screen display is switched to another, the global overlap display will be shown.

• The global overlap display will be shown again after any of the following functions is executed.

• The macro command CHG_LANG has been executed to change the language.

• The item placed on the global overlap display has been shown/hidden.

• The offset memory value of the item placed on the global overlap display has been changed.

• The overlap display of the same overlap library number has been displayed while the global
overlap display is displayed.

• The data block area cannot be used on the global overlap display. If used in this way, the contents
in the data block area will not be displayed on MONITOUCH.
“Warning” is displayed on the [Error Check] window in the following cases:

• In the case where [Designate: Internal] is selected and the macro command “SET_MOVLP” is
used or [Designate: External] is selected:
Do not specify the overlap library number of the data block area for the global overlap display.

• In the case of the [Function: Multi-Overlap Display] switch with [Designate: Internal] selected:
Change the overlap library number, or delete the data block area from the specified overlap
library.

• When the global overlap display is used, “3” cannot be specified for [Order INC] in the [Detail] tab
window in the [Data Block Area] dialog. Specify a value from 0 to 2 for [Order INC].

• The global overlap display cannot be set for component parts. It cannot be called up from
component parts.

3.1 Multi-function

Overview

In regards to a switch placed on a screen, which is provided with the [Write] or [Word Operation]
function, you may also enable the switch to work as a screen change switch. To accomplish the
screen change function of the switch in a conventional manner, the macro command SET_SCRN must
be used as the switch ON (or OFF) macro.
However, in accordance with the multi-function switch setting discussed hereafter, a switch can easily
be capable of two functions.

Targeted Switches

• Switches with the following setting: Under [Function] in the [Switch] dialog, [Entry] and [Write] or

[Standard] and [Word Operation] are selected.

Location for Setting

Click the target switch. Its [Switch] dialog is displayed.
When [Write] or [Word Operation] is selected under [Function], the [ Screen] field at the bottom of
the dialog becomes active.

* When a switch that works for [Write] or [Word Operation] is provided with [ Screen]

setting, pressing the switch implements the action of [Write] or [Word Operation] first and
then a screen change.

3.2 Buzzer

Overview

In a conventional manner, the setting for the buzzer sound of MONITOUCH, as well as for the switch
buzzer sound, is comprehensively made in the [Unit Setting] dialog.
A new function is now available to set a buzzer sound on a switch-by-switch basis.
It is also possible to produce a continuous sound while a switch is held down.

Location for Setting

1. Click the target switch. Its [Switch] dialog is displayed.

2. Open the [Detail] tab window. Check [ Buzzer Sound] and select an option.

In the [Buzzer] tab window in the [Unit Setting] dialog ([System Setting] → [Unit Setting]), you can
set a buzzer sound for the V8 unit including switches.
However, if [ Buzzer Sound] is checked in the [Switch] dialog for any switch, the option selected
for [Buzzer Sound] takes priority.

5.1 Offset Value Designation Memory

Overview

Once you have placed a numerical data display part on the screen, you can monitor the value at the
PLC memory address assigned to the part and also write data to the memory address.
When using additional memory addresses, however, you need to add parts for the memory addresses
or register them with another screen.
With the offset value designation memory, one numerical data display part becomes available with
multiple memory addresses. This feature reduces the number of screens or parts used and facilitates
screen maintenance.

Update Timing

The offset value designation memory is read in every cycle, irrespective of the item processing cycle.
When to update the screen depends on the setting made at [Redraw the screen] ([ Screen Setting]
→ [Screen Setting] → [Show/Hide Item]).

• Checked:
The screen is updated when the value in the offset value designation memory changes.

• Unchecked:
Screen change
Screen redisplay
Multi-overlap change (with parts placed on multi-overlap)
Data block change (with parts placed in data block)

Limitations

• An offset value designation memory location is counted as one of the number of the set memory

locations.
For more information on the number of permissible memory locations, refer to the V8 Series
Operation Manual.

• When the screen is updated, the offset value designation memory is read for the items placed on

the screen.
For a screen including multiple offset value designation memory locations, the updated screen is
displayed upon completion of reading all these memory locations. If updating is time-consuming,
the use of the internal memory is recommended.

• When setting offset values on a screen, you need to finish the setting before switching the screen

to another.
In a case where an offset value is designated in an OPEN macro, the offset value is not valid when
the screen is open, but becomes valid when the screen is updated.

• If a value placed in offset value designation memory is outside the permissible range, an error

arises. Observe the specified range for setting.

5.2 Attribute Specification Memory

Overview

The macro command CHG_DATA was previously required to change any numerical data display
attributes during the RUN mode of MONITOUCH. Meanwhile for character display, no attribute
change macro command was provided.
However, the attribute specification memory explained in this section helps change those attributes
(the number of digits, decimal point, display type, text color, the number of bytes, or background color)
easily for numerical data and character displays while MONITOUCH is in the RUN mode.

Applicable Items

• Numerical data display → number of digits/decimal point/display type/text color/background color

• Character display → number of bytes/text color/background color

* Attribute specification memory is not available with table data display, data sampling,

graphic library, and data sheet (but available with expanded data sheet).

Digits Set a memory address used to specify the number of digits of the

numerical data display.
When the numerical data display includes decimal places, the
number of digits specified at this address must include the number of
decimal places.

* If the number of digits of a value being read exceeds the

limit specified, a hyphen is displayed, indicating an
overflow.

Decimal Point Set a memory address used to specify the number of decimal places

of the numerical data display.

* The number of decimal places must be smaller than the

number of digits. If the number of decimal places is the
same as or more than the number of digits, an overflow
arises.
For HEX, OCT or BIN as [Display Type], decimal point
setting does not take effect.
Even if a value is set for [Decimal Point] in such a case, it is
assumed to be zero.

Display Type Set a memory address used to specify the display type of the

numerical data display.
Place a value at the memory address according to the following:

0: DEC (w/o sign)
1: DEC (w/ -sign)

Update Timing

The update timing depends on the [Process Cycle] in the [Detail] tab window for each data display.

Limitations

• For a numerical data or character display provided with a frame, the frame size is not changed
according to the setting of [Digits], [Decimal Point], [Display Type] or [No. of Bytes]. For this
reason, you need to set the maximum number of digits or bytes in the screen data.

• For a numerical data or character display with [Property: Not Transparent] selected in the [Style]
tab window, its background drawing area will be influenced by the setting of [Digits], [Decimal
Point], [Display Type] or [No. of Bytes]. If the set number of digits or bytes is decreased, therefore,
the background color will be left.
For this reason, you need to set the maximum number of digits or bytes in the screen data. Or,
you may update the display with the macro command SYS (RESET_SCRN) or by screen change.

• If a value displayed in a numerical data display has become higher than the maximum or lower
than the minimum specified for alarm, the value is shown in the color preset for alarm.

• When [ Attribute Specification Memory] is checked in the [Num. Display] dialog, the macro
command CHG_DATA is not executable for the numerical data display.

• For a numerical data or character display with [Function: Entry Target], its display is switched when
the cursor is moved from the display field.

Background Color Set a memory address used to specify the text background color.

Bits 0 to 6: Color
Bit 7: Blinking (0: No, 1: Yes)

You can select a color from 128 colors (with blinking) on [Palette 1] in
the [Custom Color] dialog. For color codes, refer to the section of
“Text Color”.

* However, the [Background Color] setting does not take

effect when [Transparent] is selected for [Property] in the
[Style] tab window.

No. of Bytes Set a memory address used to specify the number of bytes of the

character display.
No. of Bytes: 1 to 127

* Irrespective of the setting for [No. of Bytes], 127 bytes (64

words) will always be read.

Key Function Action Remarks

Character Input 0 to 9, A to F, +, -, .

In a condition immediately after a selection with the cursor,
pressing any of these key clears the existing data and enters
the data of the key you pressed.
When the cursor has been moved by the switch function of the
arrow key “←” or “→”, a numeral can be put at the place
determined with the cursor. A decimal number can be
displayed with the “.” key. The cursor is then movable through
the whole number part and the fractional part.

2-byte valid

Write This key writes the entered data to the specified memory.

Clear This key clears the entered data.

+/- This key inverts the sign of the entered data.

Back Space This key deletes one numeral to the left of the cursor.

However, this key does not delete the leftmost numeral of the
whole number part as well as the tenth place of the fractional
part.
When a numeral is deleted from the whole number part, the
cursor remains in the same place. When a numeral is deleted
from the fractional part, the cursor is moved left one space and
“0” is put at the rightmost place of the fractional part.

Example:
Deletion of “4” from “12.345” results in “12.350”.
