4. Specify the number of the first screen after pasting, then click the OK Button.

5. If the Reuse screen with sheet option has been set, specify the number of the first sheet after pasting, and then click the OK Button. (This operation is necessary only if the Reuse screen with sheet option has been set.)

Pasting Parts, Such As Face Plates, into Separate Projects

The screen will not be copied if the number of sheets after copying exceeds ten.

Once copying has completed, a file in the format of projectname.txt will be created in the folder where the project file (i.e., ipp file) is saved. The screen numbers before copying and after copying can be checked.

Copied or cut parts can be pasted to separate projects. Common settings that the part references are also copied at the same time. (Refer to the note below regarding common settings.) Parts cannot be copied, however, if the system version of the project copy destination is older than that of the project copy source.

Merging Projects Section 4-2

1,2,3... 1. Start two copies of the CX-Designer, and then open the copy source

project in one and the copy destination project in the other.

2. Copy or cut the part in the copy source CX-Designer project.

3. Paste the part into the copy destination CX-Designer project.

4. Alternatively, drag the part from the copy source CX-Designer project to the copy destination CX-Designer project.

5. If multiple hosts are registered to the project at the reuse destination, select an appropriate host after copying for the communications addresses used with the parts.

Note Common Settings

The following settings, which are referred to by function parts, are also copied to the project of the copy destination.

• Alarm/event settings (alarm/event indication, alarm/event summary and log)

• Data log settings (data log graph)

• Data block settings (data block tables)

• Unit and scale settings (unit-set value settings, inputs, and thumb rotary switches)

• Dialog box settings (function parts for which specifying a confirmation message has been set)

These settings will be added with numbers changed to not overlap settings already at the copy source. Unused communications addresses at the copy destination will be added to the symbol tables.

Note 1. Switch from the face plate on the Control Screen to the relevant Tuning

Screen by using the Command Button. The number of the screen switched to may deviate depending on the method of screen copying.

2. When copying individual screens and parts, unit and scale settings except for comments will be regarded as identical unit and scale settings if the settings are identical, and the allocation of unit and scale numbers will change. To change the scaling information of function blocks, change the scaling settings using the CX-Process Tool, and copy after again outputting the project with Face Plate Auto Builder for NS.

4-2-2 Merging Using the NS Project Merge Tool

The following settings are required for the Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS, when merging the built project with other projects using the NS Project Merging Tool.

Created Screens Section 5-1

5-1 Created Screens

The Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS creates two types of screens: Control Screens and Tuning Screens.

Control Screens Control Screens display a row of multiple face plates.

Control Screens are created from the beginning of the CSV tag file for up to 100 loops for system version 4 or later and for up to 32 loops for other system versions.

For NS12 PTs, six face plates are created in a single screen, and for NS10, NS8, and NS7 PTs, four face plates are created in a single screen.

The following screen is a Control Screen when using an NS12 PT.

Click the >> Button in the top right corner of the screen to move to the next Control Screen page, and click the << Button to move to the previous page.

Tuning Screens Tuning Screens are adjustment screens for individual tag names (i.e., function

blocks) and are configured from the parameter settings, such as face plate, realtime trend, and alarms.

Click the Tuning Button at the top of each face plate arranged in a row in the Control Screens to move to the Tuning Screen of the corresponding tag name (function block).

The following Tuning Screen is an example of when an NS12 PT is used. Click the Back Button in the top right corner of the Tuning Screen to return to

the Control Screen.

Created Screens Section 5-1

Screen Building Order (Screen Number Order)

Control Screens are built first, followed by Tuning Screens, as shown in the following table. Building starts from the screen number specified as the screen number offset, and continues in sequence without skipping any screen numbers. (The screen number offset can be specified between 0 and 3,799 (System Version 2), 0 and 3,599 (System Version 4 or later). The default is 0.)

Screen Details

A Control Screens (up to 8 screens)

B Tuning Screens (up to 32 screens)

Up to 100 face plates for system version 4 or later and up to 32 face plates for other system versions are built for the function blocks to be converted that are detected when searched from the beginning of the CSV tag file.

The function blocks detected first are built with the smaller numbers at the left of the screen, and are arranged in order to the right. Six face plates are created for NS12 PTs and four face plates are created for the NS10 and NS7 PTs, after which building is shifted to the next screen.

The Control Screens are built for all the function blocks. Up to100 face plates for system version 4 or later and up to 32

face plates for other system versions are built sequentially for the function blocks to be converted that are detected when searched from the beginning of the CSV tag file. The Tuning Screens are built for all the function blocks.

Note In the screens built using the Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS, the face plates

(in both Control Screens and Tuning Screens) are built in groups. Parts other than face plates are not grouped.

Screen Titles Section 5-2

5-2 Screen Titles

Screen titles are assigned to each screen that is built, as shown in the following table.

Screen Screen title assignment method

Control Screens Control Screen <Sequential number from 1>

Example: Control Screen 1, Control Screen 2, etc.

Tuning Screens Tuning Screen - <Tag No. >

Tag No.

Example: Tuning Screen−TIC0000.

5-3 Tuning Screen Realtime Trends

Up to 100 Tuning Screens for system version 4 or later and up to 32 Tuning Screens for other system versions can be built using the Face Plate AutoBuilder for NS. The NS-series data log is also generated for creating a realtime trend graph for the Tuning Screens. Up to 100 data logs for system version 4 or later and up to 32 data logs for other system versions are used and data logs are created from the following details, according to the order the face plates are built.

• Data log setting group name: Group (number) (Example: Group 1, Group 2, etc.)

• Data collection cycle: 1 s

• Log count: 533 records

• Log period: Logging is performed while data log object is displayed only. (It is cleared when screens are switched.)

• Log address: (Refer to information on individual function blocks for details on logging the SP, MV, and PV for the tag ITEM.)

Note The NS project file built with the Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS create build-

ing results after returning the communications settings, unit and scale setting, and data log settings to the default values for creating new projects. Specify a new project name in the name for the project file being built.

5-4 Engineering Units

Values such as the SP and PV for Basic PID must be scaled to engineering units.

In the following explanations, places where engineering units are indicated must be scaled as defined in this section.

With the data in tag ITEMs for engineering units, such as PV and SP for Basic PID, the value stored and used in the PLC or in communications for the scaling lower limit (0%) is 0, and for the scaling upper limit (100%) is 10,000 (e.g., 5,000 for scaling of 50%, −1,500 for −15%, etc.).

When the value of a tag ITEM for an engineering unit is displayed or set on the PT screen, the value must be displayed or set as the actual amount (engineering unit value) after scaling.

Scaling is performed by referencing the CSV tag file's scaling upper limit, scaling lower limit, decimal point position (scaling decimal point position), and unit characters.

Percent Data Section 5-5

In a CSV tag file, the scaling upper limit, scaling lower limit, and decimal point position are stored for every tag ITEM. The scaling upper limit, scaling lower limit, and decimal point position are, however, the default values registered by the user in for individual tag names (i.e., function blocks) from the CX-Process Tool. Therefore, for the same tag name (function block), the scaling upper limit, scaling lower limit, decimal point position, and unit characters are all the same for the tag ITEM, i.e., the engineering unit is the same.

For example, when the scaling upper limit value=500, scaling lower limit value=0, and decimal point position=1 the values in the PLC or communications are scaled to the values shown in the following table.

Value in PLC or communications Scaled value

−1,000 (−10%) −5.0 0 (0%) 0.0 5,000 (50%) 25.0 10,000 (100%) 50.0 11,000 (110%) 55.0

Scaling is based on the CSV tag file, according to the Integer Decimal setting and Unit and Scale No. data for NS-series Numeral Display and Input objects. The Integer Decimal is automatically set based on the decimal point position in the CSV tag file.

Unit and Scale No. data items are created based on the scaling upper/lower limit, and unit characters for tag names from the beginning of the CSV tag file. Up to 66 sets of these items can be created for system version 2.0 and up to 207 can be created for system version 4.0 (632 if Segment Program 3 blocks are set). When building, use the Unit Number Offset setting to specify which of the Unit and Scale No. data items will be allocated. (System version 2 setting range: 12 to 800, System version 4 setting range: 12 to 700, System version 6.6 setting range: 12 to 700 (upper limit changes if Segment Program 3 blocks are set).

When the Tag ITEMs are required to display with the engineering units, the units from the CSV tag file are used.

Note In NS project files built with the Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS, the following

5-5 Percent Data

two Unit and Scale settings are always registered: 0.01 multiplier, 0 offset, and 0.1 multiplier, 0 offset. Due to face plate design restrictions, when the decimal point position is 6 or higher, only 5 decimal places will be displayed.

Data such as the MV for Basic PID is referred to as percent data, and is displayed using a base of 0.00% to 100.00%.

and used in the PLC or communications are 0 for 0%, and 10,000 for 100% (e.g., the value for 50% is 5,000, and for −15% is −1,500).

When the values of tag ITEMs for percent data are displayed on the PT screen or receive a set value, the values are displayed using two decimal

places and the percentage unit.

Value in device or communications Display value

−1,000 (−10%) −10.00% 0 (0%) 0.00% 5,000 (50%) 50.00%

Read Address and Write Address Section 5-6

Value in device or communications Display value

10,000 (100%) 100.00% 11,000 (110%) 110.00%

Percent data is set by registering a setting in a Numeral Display and Input objects with the integer set to four digits and the decimal to two digits. The conversion rate/offset for the unit and scale setting is set to a multiplier of

0.01.

5-6 Read Address and Write Address

Even if the tag ITEM is the same for the read address that is read and displayed from the PLC to the NS-series PT and the write address that is written to the PLC from the NS-series PT, the addresses are different.

For example, the following table shows the addresses when Basic PID is used.

Tag ITEM Read address Write address

SP Determined by the I/O mem-

ory area type, address, and bit position of SP in the CSV tag file.

MV, R/L_SW, A/ M_SW, P, I, D, HH_SP, H_SP, L_SP, LL_SP, etc.

Determined by the I/O memory area type, address, and bit position of each tag ITEM in the CSV tag file.

Determined by the I/O memory area type, address, and bit position of SP_W in the CSV tag file, plus the offset (write data).

Determined by the I/O memory area type, address, and bit position of each tag ITEM in the CSV tag file, plus the offset (write data).

Note If any values in the receive area (i.e., I/O memory in the CPU Unit) have not

changed, Receive All Blocks in the Loop Control Unit will not receive any data from the CPU Unit. Therefore, after changing the mode from MAN to AUTO and then back to MAN mode, such as for Basic PID, and 2-position ON/OFF, and after changes to the MV set values, the MV value change operation will not function unless there is a change between the current MAN and previous MAN mode in the MV write value (receive area value) from the NS-series PT. In this case, perform an operation to change the MV write value (receive area value) from the NS-series PT once, and then perform processing.

The following precaution is required for the Loop Control Unit. When using an NS project file built with the Face Plate Auto-Builder for NS, the NS-series PT communicates with the Loop Control Unit via the memory of the CPU Unit, using the Send/Receive All Blocks block in the Loop Control Unit. Therefore, compared with accessing the Loop Control Unit using the CXProcess Tool or CX-Process Monitor software, the communications response is slower.
