2.6.2 Upper compatibility of the drawing file

Compatibility between DOS version and Window version

A drawing file created using the FX-PCS-DU/AT-EE (DOS version) can be read using the DU/WIN software. However, have in mind that the screen data which is newly created or edited using the DU/WIN software and saved in a file (DUP format) cannot be read using the software of the DOS version. To edit a file using the software of the DOS version, the screen data should be saved in the GDT format. Though files have been created using the software of the DOS version for external characters and printers title (document footers in the DU/WIN software), such files cannot be handled by the DU/WIN software. However, the external character data and the printer title data can be read because they are included in the screen data.

Types of the DU screen

• Common screen The registered objects are always displayed, and their functions are valid.

For example, when the user screen No. 0 is displayed in the DU while the character string “ABC” is registered on the common screen and “abc” is registered on the user screen, “ABC” and “abc” are displayed.

• User screen The user can arbitrarily register the objects and create the screen to be displayed in the DU. In addition, two or more screens can be created, cascaded via the instruction from the programmable controller, changed over each other and displayed in the DU.

• System screen It is preliminarily built in the DU.

“Device monitor”, “PC diagnosis”, etc. are offered, and each of them can be displayed as the user screen so that drawing can be performed efficiently. For example, by specifying the screen No. 500 by changing over the screen, the device monitor screen is displayed. However, some system screens built in the DU cannot be treated as the user screens and their display contents cannot be modified. The system screen names are displayed dimly in gray and cannot be selected on the Screen List window. However, the screen No. of the changeover destination can be confirmed here.

4.8 Cautions on screen creation in the GOT-F900 Series

This paragraph summarizes cautions on the following objects during screen creation in the GOT-F900 Series. Have in mind the cautions.

Contents

1 ) Cautions on positions in which the "Touch Key", "Number" and "Ascii" objects are arranged 2 ) Cautions on use of the touch key functions and a key code 3 ) Caution on use of "Use High quality" and "Use of 8 × 6 dot font"

4.8.1 Arrangement of "Touch Key", "Number" and "Ascii" objects

Target objects

Touch Key, Number and Ascii

Description

An object can be arranged in an arbitrary position in the unit of dot. The touch panel consists of 20 × 12 cells each of which consists of 16 × 20 dots, and a cell is the minimum unit which recognizes touching. If an object occupies more than a half of a cell both in the vertical and horizontal directions, the cell functions as an effective area.

16 dots

Cell effective as touch key

Frequent arrangement

Suppose that the character size in the vertical direction is 16 dots (H: x1) in the "Number" or "Ascii" object. If the object is arranged so that it occupies two cells equally in the vertical direction, the object occupies 8 dots in each of the upper cell and the lower cell. As the result, each cell is ineffective.

Screen creation procedure

1 ) Use the grid display function of the DU/WIN-E software.

Set the grid to the touch key size, and arrange the object while confirming the cell position.

Make "Grid Adsorb" effective with a check mark, and arrange the object while regarding the upper left corner of the grid (cell) as the start point.

2 ) Display the "Touch Key", "Number" and "Ascii" objects in larger size.

4.8.2 Key code and function of touch key

Target object

Touch Key

Description

Two or more functions such as "Switch", "Change Screen" and "Data Setting" can be assigned to each touch key. However, if a key code (except "FFFF" and "FF69") is assigned to a touch key, such functions are disabled. Because a key code displays the entry code registration screen (for security) or a system screen, a touch key to which a key code (except "FFFF" and "FF69") is assigned acts as a screen changeover key. The key code "FF69" which resets the entry code can be used together with other functions.

Key code examples
