SampleSampleScreenScreen
Create 5 screens using the CX-Designer.
All screens are designed to display labels in two languages (English/Dutch) with “Switch Label” function.
ScreenScreen11
Here, you will create a screen that turns ON/OFF specified addresses of the PLC.
On the screen 1, lamps (bit lamp) are lit/out according to the status of bits allocated to the PLC.
The screen below illustrates an example of a touch panel screen used to operate a machinery.

Alarm Display |
Present Value / Set Value |
Transfer Button |
1.Alarm Display
Is used to switch a Low Alarm Display and a High Alarm Display by pressing the tab of the Frame function.
Alarm lamps are respectively allocated to bits of the PLC as shown in the table on page 4.
2.Present Value / Set Value
An object that displays the numeral value of an address is used to show the content of the PLC memory as a present value.
3.Set Value/Transfer Button
Numeral Display & Input object lets the user to enter numeral values. In this manual, you will create a screen where values entered by the user are saved in the NS’s internal memory area and be transferred to the PLC memory areas by pressing the Transfer button.
