Select this when using a Word address.
Number of States
Set the number of display states. Each [State Switch Condition] has a different setting range.
If [Change state by data] is selected: 2...256
If [Change state by bit] is selected
SP5000 Series, GP4000 Series (excluding GP-410*), LT4000 Series, ST6000 Series, ET6000 Series, STM6000 Series, STC6000 Series or GPH6000 Series: 2 to 33
Other models: 2 to 17
If [Change state by ranges] is selected: 2...256
State Switch Condition
Select the condition for switching lamp display.
Change state by bit
The shape of the lamp changes depending on the ON/OFF status for each word address bit.
13.5 Change When Word Address Bit Changes
Change state by data
You can change the Lamp shape by storing a value between 0 and 255.
The change happens based on the combination of the ON/OFF values of the bottom 8 bits in the specified word address. You can define up to 256 different sets of colors.
13.6 Change When Word Address Value Changes
When [Change state by data] is selected and the combination of the ON/OFF values of bits does not match with any of the combinations in the [Number of States], the lamp does not display properly. For example, if the [Number of States] is 3, you can use states 0, 1, and 2. Turning on bits 1 and 2 creates [State 3] which is invalid, and the lamp continues to display its previous valid state. While in invalid state 3, and if you change screens from a different screen to this screen, the lamp itself will not be visible.
Change state by ranges
The lamp shape changes according to the word address value. You can set 1 to 256 ranges for changes. The same state (shape and/or color settings) can be specified for multiple ranges.
Change state by ranges
Word Address
Select the word address used for changing lamp display.
Use an offset to indirectly specify the address. For more details, please refer to the following.
10.15.1.7 Option
Display when out of range
Select a shape which is displayed when the value of the word address does not match with any range settings.
Data Type
Select the data format of the word address.
Sign +/-
Specify whether or not to use negative numbers. This is available when the [Data Type] is [16 Bit Bin] or [32 Bit Bin].
Negative values are handled using 2's Complement.
Priority
Displays the priority of the range setting. The smaller the number, the higher the priority is.
When the [Upper Limit] of one range is higher than the [Lower Limit] of the next range, the [State] with higher priority is displayed.
Lower Limit/Upper Limit
Set the ranges for changing states. When the value of the word address is between the [Lower Limit] and [Upper Limit] (Lower Limit <= Value of Word Address <= Upper Limit), the lamp is displayed with the specified [State].

State
Select the shape of lamp that is displayed when the value of word address is between the [Lower Limit] and [Upper Limit] values. You can specify the same [State] to multiple range settings.
Move Up/Move Down
You can change priorities by moving selected range settings up or down. Moving upward raises the priority and moving downward lowers the priority.
Add
Adds a new range setting above the selected row.
Up to 256 rows can be added.
Delete
Deletes the selected range setting.
You cannot delete a row when there is only one row.
To delete multiple range settings simultaneously, select the range settings while pressing [Shift] or [Ctrl] key, and delete them.
Confirm State/Value
You can see how the lamp display changes according to the value of the word address.
You can preview the state corresponding the value (when you enter a value in the [Value]) or the range (when you change ranges using the right/left arrow switches) in the [Select Shape] window.
Specifying the same state for multiple range settings
Regardless of the number of states, you can add up to 256 rows of range settings and specify the same [State] for multiple range settings.

Number of States: 2 Display when out of range: State 0 (Gray)
Range Settings Range 1: State 1 (Red) Range 2: State 1 (Red) Range 3: State 1 (Red) |
|
If the base shape (color) of the lamp is fixed, you can specify the base shape in [Display when out of range].
Simplifying settings by being aware of the [Priority]
By being aware of the [Priority], you can decrease the number of range settings.
|
Number of States: 3 Display when out of range: State 0 (Gray) |
|
Range settings: if unaware of the [Priority]
If you set the Range 1 to 3 in order, you need the same number of range settings as the number of ranges.
