From the [Common Settings (R)] menu, select [Alarm (A)], or click . The following screen appears. In [Language], select the alarm message display language.
Select the [Enable Summary] check box.
When the following notice message appears, click [Yes]. The [Summary] tab is displayed.
In [Bit Address], set the bit address to monitor the alarm trigger.
In the [Message] column, enter a message to display when an alarm is triggered, and specify [Text Color], [Background Color], and [Blink].
Do not use the same address for multiple monitoring bits. When the same address is used for multiple monitoring bits, only the alarm message having the smallest registration number (Row Number) is displayed.
Use consecutive Bit Addresses to set up the monitor bit for the message you want to display on 1 screen. If you set up monitor bits on different devices, or within the same device but in nonconsecutive Bit Addresses, you cannot display the message on the same screen.
Up to 8999 alarm messages can be registered.

For example, to display the message of the registered monitoring bit "M1000" in a Summary, specify "M992" in [Start Address of Words to Monitor], because addresses from M992 to M1008 are included in one Word.
In [Words to Monitor], allocate monitoring bit addresses by defining the number of Words from the [Monitoring Word Address].
Set the [Display Characters], [Display Start Row], and [Display Alarms] of the message to be displayed on the screen.
Set the color to be used when Alarm Message is recovered and cleared in the [Color] tab, then set the font and size of the message in the [Display] tab, and click [OK].
You can draw one alarm part (alarm summary) on one base screen. If you want multiple alarm parts on the same screen, use Window parts to load and display Window Screens set up with alarm parts.
Each alarm message can have a maximum 160 single-byte characters. You can display up to 50 alarms on a single screen. When displaying alarms on the display unit, the maximum number of characters per row and the maximum number of alarms per screen depends on the display model and the font size.
If the Alarm Message is wider than the display area, the portion that exceeds the area is truncated and is not displayed.
By setting Alarm Parts [Summary] on multiple screens, a maximum of 1600 Alarm Messages can be displayed in an entire project.
Place the Alarm Parts [Summary] display areas so that they do not overlap with other parts or objects.
