Bit

Allow Input Bit Address

When the bit address set here turns ON, the Data Display enters the input state.

Input Order

Number the Data Displays from 1 to 384 in the order that they will enter the Allow Input state if the [Allow Input Bit Addresses] of multiple Data Displays turn ON at the same time (when a bit address has been registered to multiple Data Displays, or when different bit addresses turn ON at the same time).

  • If more than one [Allow Input Bit Address] is turned ON at the same time, the Data Displays will enter the input state according to their [Input Order] settings. If the [Input Order] settings are the same, the input state order will be determined by the order the Data Displays were placed.

  • If the [Allow Input Bit Address] of Data Displays placed on the Base Screen and Window Screen turn ON at the same time, the Base Screen will have a higher priority for the input state than the Window Screen. When placing Data Displays on both the Base and Window screen, make sure to set a different [Allow Input Bit Address].
