Indirect Area Specification
This property is available when, in the [Basic] tab you set [Address Type] to either [Address] or [Device Type & Address], and in the [Color/Alarm] tab you set [Alarm Action] to [Address]. Select the method for specifying the Word Address that stores the alarm's upper limit and lower limit.
Area After Display Address
The Lower Limit and Upper Limit values are defined in consecutive addresses from the [Monitor Word Address], as specified in the [Basic] tab.
For example, if [Monitor Word Address] is "D100",
Lower Limit is "D101", Upper Limit is "D102".
Individual Settings
Individually define a word address for the [Lower Limit] and a word address for the [Upper Limit].
Alarm
The color can be set to change when the value goes outside of a specified range. Select whether to designate [Alarm].
The alarm settings can only be set when the number of ranges is one.
If [Allow Input] has been selected in the [Basic] tab, values outside of the alarm range cannot be input by touch.
Alarm Action
Choose the Alarm Action.
Direct
Write a set constant as the Alarm' upper/lower limit value. Select the upper and lower limits of the [Display Range] to fit within the ranges of the Max. and Min. values. Proper operation will be prevented if the values exceed the range.
Address
Specify the address where the Upper/Lower Limit values are stored.
Change Color
When the [Alarm Bit Address] turns ON, the color changes and an alarm displays.
Specify the Alarm Range within the Display range
If [Alarm Action] is [Direct], specify whether the source range of the lower limit and the upper limit is within the range of the [Display Range] in the [Basic] tab. Once selected, you can specify only within the Display Range. Also, preset lower and upper limit values will be input.
When the Display Range does not display or the [Display Specification] is [Address], you can set up values within the minimum and maximum range for the defined data type.
Alarm Bit Address
When the [Alarm Action] is [Change Color], input the bit address which will act as a trigger for the color change. When this bit turns ON, the color change will occur. Continued
Alarm Range Upper Limit/Lower Limit
If [Alarm Action] is [Direct], you can set an upper/lower limit value for the alarm range. When [Alarm Action] is [Address] and [Individual Settings], you can set the word address where the upper and lower limit values are stored.
Each [Data Type] and [Sign +/-] has a different setup range.
