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.)

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.

Pasting Parts, Such As
Face Plates, into Separate
Projects

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.

22

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

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

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.
B Tuning Screens
(up to 32 screens)

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.

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.

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.

Screen Screen title assignment method

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

Example: Tuning Screen−TIC0000.

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.

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

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.

5-5 Percent Data

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 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

Value in device or communications Display value

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

30

Read Address and Write Address Section 5-6

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.

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.
