9.3 Cautions on using the screen data for an other type of PLC
9.3.1 Cautions on using the screen data for an other type of PC
Cautions when the screen data for FX, the screen data for A, the screen data for SYSMAC C Series
(manufactured by OMRON) (hereinafter referred to as C) and the screen data for FLEX-PC N Series
(manufactured by Fuji Denki) (hereinafter referred to as N) are used for each other
When the existing screen data is used in an other type of PC (FX ↔ A, A ↔ C, FX ↔ C or for N), the data
can be used if the device Nos. specified for each screen or for system setting are included in the devices
available in the destination PC type. Other device Nos. which cannot be used in the destination PC type are
ignored and regarded as errors (Such device Nos. remain unchanged.).
However, special auxiliary relays and data registers for special characters are automatically converted into
the device Nos. in the destination PC.
For example, when the screen data created for an FX PC is used in an A PC or a SYSMAC C Series PC
(manufactured by OMRON), the data is converted as shown in [4] Device list for each PC.
If the device range in the FX PC is exceeded or if the specified devices are not available in the destination PC
type, such devices are regarded as errors and remain unchanged.
The data is processed in the same way also in the FLEX-PC N Series (manufactured by Fuji Denki) and
general-purpose communication.
9.3.2 Cautions on change of the DU type
Cautions when the screen data for the 50DU-TK, the screen data for the 40DU-TK, the screen data for
the 40DU, the screen data for the 30DU, the screen data for the 25DU and the screen data for the
F940GOT are used for each other
When the existing screen data is used in an other type of DU (50DU-TK ↔ 40DU-TK,50DU-TK ↔ 40DU,
50DU-TK ↔ 30DU or for 25DU or F940GOT), the objects (text, indicators, keyboard, etc.) set on each
screen can be used if such objects are available in the destination DU type. Other objects which cannot be
used in the destination DU type are deleted.
Even when an object is available in the destination DU type, it is regarded as an error if a coordinate
exceeding the screen of the destination DU type is specified.
9.3.3 Cautions on DU type setting when the drawing data is transferred (written) to the DU
When writing the screen data to a data access unit, make sure at first that the screen data type setting
(screen for FX, screen for A, screen for C or screen for N) is equivalent to the PC type setting in the data
access unit, then transfer the screen data.
The screen data transferred while the PC type setting is not equivalent may be treated as error data caused
by difference in usable devices.
In this case, when the PC type setting in the data access unit is aligned with the screen data type setting,
such a data is recognized as normal data.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/fx-pcs-du-win-e-softwaremanualjy992d68301-g02-140416223337-phpapp01/85/l-p-trinh-PLC-mitsubishi-308-320.jpg)

Screen data transfer
Q1 Data communication between the display unit and the DU/WIN software (personal computer) is not
performed correctly.
A1 Estimated causes are problems in the connection cable and interference by another application. Check
the following contents.
Connection cable
The cable may be defective, the connector may be defective, the connector may be disconnected, the cable
may be wrong, or the cable is connected to a wrong connector.
Check conductivity, the connection method and the cable type.
For the details, refer to the hardware manual of the DU or the F940GOT.
(% indicates the reference page in this manual.)
[ Reference manuals ]
• For the manual type, refer to % Paragraph 1.2.1.
• For the cable type, refer to % Paragraph 2.3.
• For the cable disconnection check (connection diagram), refer to the FX Integrated Catalog and the DU/
F940GOT Handy Manual.
Interference by another application
When another general application is specifying a port (COM) specified in the communication setting in the
DU/WIN software, both the DU/WIN software and another application may perform communication at the
same time.
For example, when the DU-WIN software tries to transfer the screen data by selection of Transfer and DU
while communication with the PC, circuit monitoring or device monitoring is performed, this error occurs.
Terminate all other applications so that only the DU/WIN software can run. Then, perform communication. (If
a communication error occurs again, start up the Windows again.)
Interference by communication of PC (only when FX-50DU-TK(S) is connected)
In the configuration in which the 50DU-TK is connected to the FX Series PC, when transfer is executed while
the 50DU-TK is not in the wait status in the personal computer transfer mode (in which data communication
is enabled), a communication error occurs or the DU/WIN software operation status becomes unstable.
This is because communication between the PC is performed by way of the two-port interface built in the
50DU-TK.
This error occurs only when the 50DU-TK is connected to the FX Series PC.
For the operating procedure, refer to 6.5 Jobs offered by the Transfer command.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/fx-pcs-du-win-e-softwaremanualjy992d68301-g02-140416223337-phpapp01/85/l-p-trinh-PLC-mitsubishi-349-320.jpg)

- 29. FX Series Programmable Controllers Installation 2 2-7 2.6.2 Upper compatibility of the drawing file Compatibility between DOS version and Window version A drawing file created using the FX-PCS-DU/AT-EE (DOS version) can be read using the DU/WIN software. However, have in mind that the screen data which is newly created or edited using the DU/WIN software and saved in a file (DUP format) cannot be read using the software of the DOS version. To edit a file using the software of the DOS version, the screen data should be saved in the GDT format.

FX Series Programmable Controllers What You Should Know Before Starting Drawing 4 4-3 4.2 Types of the DU screen and the F940GOT screen Three types of DU/F940GOT screens are offered; the common screen which is always displayed, the user screen which the user can create arbitrarily and the system screen which is built in the DU/F940GOT. Among them, the user can register objects and create the screen for the common screen and the user screen. Types of the DU screen • Common screen The registered objects are always displayed, and their functions are valid. For example, when the user screen No. 0 is displayed in the DU while the character string “ABC” is registered on the common screen and “abc” is registered on the user screen, “ABC” and “abc” are displayed. • User screen The user can arbitrarily register the objects and create the screen to be displayed in the DU. In addition, two or more screens can be created, cascaded via the instruction from the programmable controller, changed over each other and displayed in the DU. • System screen It is preliminarily built in the DU. “Device monitor”, “PC diagnosis”, etc. are offered, and each of them can be displayed as the user screen so that drawing can be performed efficiently. For example, by specifying the screen No. 500 by changing over the screen, the device monitor screen is displayed. However, some system screens built in the DU cannot be treated as the user screens and their display contents cannot be modified. The system screen names are displayed dimly in gray and cannot be selected on the Screen List window.

Have in mind the cautions. Target models F940WGOT-TWD-E F940GOT-SWD-E, F940GOT-LWD-E, F940GOT-SBD-H-E, F940GOT-LBD-H-E F930GOT-BWD-E, F930GOT-BBD-K-E Contents 1 ) Cautions on positions in which the Touch Key, Number and Ascii objects are arranged 2 ) Cautions on use of the touch key functions and a key code 3 ) Caution on use of Use High quality and Use of 8 × 6 dot font 4.8.1 Arrangement of Touch Key, Number and Ascii objects Target objects Touch Key, Number and Ascii Description An object can be arranged in an arbitrary position in the unit of dot. The touch panel consists of 20 × 12 cells each of which consists of 16 × 20 dots, and a cell is the minimum unit which recognizes touching. If an object occupies more than a half of a cell both in the vertical and horizontal directions, the cell functions as an effective area. Frequent arrangement Suppose that the character size in the vertical direction is 16 dots (H: x1) in the Number or Ascii object. If the object is arranged so that it occupies two cells equally in the vertical direction, the object occupies 8 dots in each of the upper cell and the lower cell. As the result, each cell is ineffective. Cell effective as touch key 16 dots 20 dots Touch key Cell ineffective as a touch key Ineffective 20dots 20dots Ineffective 12dots 16dots 12dots 1234 Effective 20dots16dots 1234

Set the grid to the touch key size, and arrange the object while confirming the cell position. Make Grid Adsorb effective with a check mark, and arrange the object while regarding the upper left corner of the grid (cell) as the start point.
- 53. FX Series Programmable Controllers What You Should Know Before Starting Drawing 4 4-15 4.8.2 Key code and function of touch key Target object Touch Key Description Two or more functions such as Switch, Change Screen and Data Setting can be assigned to each touch key. However, if a key code (except FFFF and FF69) is assigned to a touch key, such functions are disabled. Because a key code displays the entry code registration screen (for security) or a system screen, a touch key to which a key code (except FFFF and FF69) is assigned acts as a screen changeover key. The key code FF69 which resets the entry code can be used together with other functions. Key code examples For the details of key codes, refer to the F940GOT Operation Manual. Some key codes offer the input function to enter numbers, enter alphabets (ASCII codes), move the cursor, etc. for the Number object, the Ascii object, the alarm list and the alarm history. Table:4.8 Key code No. Function Function effectiveness FFFF Indicates that no key code is assigned. FF68 Changes over to the entry code registration screen. FF69 Resets the entry code.

- 105. FX Series Programmable Controllers Menu Bar Function 6 6-5 6.2.2 File formats which can be read and saved When the DU screen data read by the DU/WIN software is saved to a file, the following diversified formats are available. File formats which can be saved • File format: DUP This format represents the DU screen data file created by the DU/WIN software. The file is saved as the binary code. • File format: DUA This format represents the DU screen data file created by the DU/WIN software. The file is saved as the text document. For this file, the setting of the DU screen data can be displayed or modified using the software called edi- tor which edits the text. However, if the data is modified incorrectly, the screen cannot be displayed correctly. It is recommended not to modify the setting. Make sure to make the backup of the screen data if modifying it. • File format: ITH This format represents the data file used to transfer the data between the ROM writer and the personal computer. The file is saved as the Intel hexadecimal code. • File format: GDT This format represents the DU screen data file created by the DOS version drawing software (FX-PCS- DU/AT-EE, etc.). The DU/WIN software can read the data file by selecting “File” and “Open“. The GOT-F900 screen data can be saved. Compared with the DUP format and other formats, the file capacity can be reduced. Table:6.2 File format (extender) Data type DUP File saved by the DU/WIN (this software) DUA File saved in the text format by the DU/WIN (this software) ITH File saved in the Intel hexadecimal format (ROM writer) GDT File created by the DOS version drawing software Ver2.5∼ What is the extender The file name consists of the major file name (up to 8 half-width characters), period (.) and the extender (3 half-width characters). The extender represents the file type (Example: EXE, COM = program file). Because the general Windows software adds the unique extender, the software which has created the file can be seen from the extender. In the Windows95, a long file name (up to 250 characters) is available.

FX Series Programmable Controllers Related Information 9 9-10 9.3 Cautions on using the screen data for an other type of PLC 9.3.1 Cautions on using the screen data for an other type of PC Cautions when the screen data for FX, the screen data for A, the screen data for SYSMAC C Series (manufactured by OMRON) (hereinafter referred to as C) and the screen data for FLEX-PC N Series (manufactured by Fuji Denki) (hereinafter referred to as N) are used for each other When the existing screen data is used in an other type of PC (FX ↔ A, A ↔ C, FX ↔ C or for N), the data can be used if the device Nos. specified for each screen or for system setting are included in the devices available in the destination PC type. Other device Nos. which cannot be used in the destination PC type are ignored and regarded as errors (Such device Nos. remain unchanged.). However, special auxiliary relays and data registers for special characters are automatically converted into the device Nos. in the destination PC. For example, when the screen data created for an FX PC is used in an A PC or a SYSMAC C Series PC (manufactured by OMRON), the data is converted as shown in [4] Device list for each PC. If the device range in the FX PC is exceeded or if the specified devices are not available in the destination PC type, such devices are regarded as errors and remain unchanged. The data is processed in the same way also in the FLEX-PC N Series (manufactured by Fuji Denki) and general-purpose communication. 9.3.2 Cautions on change of the DU type Cautions when the screen data for the 50DU-TK, the screen data for the 40DU-TK, the screen data for the 40DU, the screen data for the 30DU, the screen data for the 25DU and the screen data for the F940GOT are used for each other When the existing screen data is used in an other type of DU (50DU-TK ↔ 40DU-TK,50DU-TK ↔ 40DU, 50DU-TK ↔ 30DU or for 25DU or F940GOT), the objects (text, indicators, keyboard, etc.) set on each screen can be used if such objects are available in the destination DU type. Other objects which cannot be used in the destination DU type are deleted. Even when an object is available in the destination DU type, it is regarded as an error if a coordinate exceeding the screen of the destination DU type is specified. 9.3.3 Cautions on DU type setting when the drawing data is transferred (written) to the DU When writing the screen data to a data access unit, make sure at first that the screen data type setting (screen for FX, screen for A, screen for C or screen for N) is equivalent to the PC type setting in the data access unit, then transfer the screen data. The screen data transferred while the PC type setting is not equivalent may be treated as error data caused by difference in usable devices. In this case, when the PC type setting in the data access unit is aligned with the screen data type setting, such a data is recognized as normal data.

For example, when a data device X000 is used in the screen data created in an FX Series PC and the screen data is used in an OMRON C Series PC, the device is converted into 06400 and regarded as an error (remains unchanged as the device No. X000) in the general-purpose communication because a corresponding device is not present. After modifying the data for an other type of PC, check the data in accordance with 6.6.1 Data check, then set a new device to each blank device No. position if errors are detected. (For the details of setting of each object, refer to 8. Object Function Description.) Device No. list for each PC The name indicates a device (in the FX Series PLC) used in this manual. The device ranges in this table indicate that device names are changed when a connected PC is changed. They do not indicate the ranges which can be set in a DU.

For example, in an FX PC, device Nos. for input (X) and output (Y) are represented in octal, and device Nos. for internal relay (M), timer (T), counter (C), etc. are represented in decimal. Internal devices of the GOT-F900 They are built in the GOT-F900 main unit as intrinsic devices. The DU/WIN-E whose version is Ver. 2.50 or later supports them. You can rewrite internal devices of the GOT-F900 using the status observation, switch and numeric input functions, and use them for the conditions for lamp indication, numeric display and switch. Because these internal devices are not related to the connected PLC or microcomputer board, they are available in any connectable PLC (including microcomputer board). GB 0 to GB 131 and GD 0 to GD 99 are used for the processing inside the GOT-F900.

FX Series Programmable Controllers Related Information 9 9-50 9.9 Troubleshooting The file Read me! shown on the menu registered in the Windows program offers the additional information on supplementary items (such as troubleshooting not described in this paragraph and the version upgrade history) for use of the DU/WIN software. Make sure to read the contents of this file. Installation Q1 Even when the Next button is clicked on the User Information dialog box during installation, the next screen is not displayed. A1 Enter the operator name and the company name. Printout Q1 When the screen data is printed out, the DU screen is partially dislocated and the lower portion of the screen is printed above the upper portion. Or characters on the DU screen are printed out upside-down. A1 Two types of countermeasures are offered in accordance with the printer type. Select My Computer and Printer, and perform an either procedure in accordance your printer type. 1 )Processing with the priority given to overlay drawing in the option setting In the case of LP-8300 or LP-8000 manufactured by EPSON 2 )Direct output to a printer in the spool setting In the case of any other printer 3 )Turn off the power of the printer, turn it on again, then execute printout. In the case in which the setting 1 ) nor the setting 2 ) is not provided in the property Processing with the priority given to overlay drawing Change the setting so that the spool function in the property of the current printer is not used. Perform the following procedure. Procedure 1 Select My Computer and Printer in the Windows95 to open the printer folder. 2 Click to select the printer currently registered. 3 Press the left button of the mouse or select File and Property to open the printer property. 4 Open Option setting. 5 Check Priority to overlay drawing. Countermeasures by the spool setting Change the setting so that the spool function in the property of the current printer is not used. Perform the following procedure. Procedure 1 Select My Computer and Printer in the Windows95 to open the printer folder. 2 Click to select the printer currently registered. 3 Press the left button of the mouse or select File and Property to open the printer property. 4 Spool Setting is provided on the property screen. (It may not be provided in some printer types and printer driver versions.) 5 Select Send print data directly to printer, and click the OK button. Object input Q1 When a value (numeric) has been entered on the object setting dialog box and the [Enter] key has been pressed, the error dialog box is displayed and the input is disabled. A1 The entered value is beyond the allowable range of the input item. Enter an appropriate value within the contents or the input range shown on the error dialog box. Or full-width characters (Kanji characters) have been entered. Set the Kanji conversion FEP to OFF.

FX Series Programmable Controllers Related Information 9 9-51 Screen data transfer Q1 Data communication between the display unit and the DU/WIN software (personal computer) is not performed correctly. A1 Estimated causes are problems in the connection cable and interference by another application. Check the following contents. Connection cable The cable may be defective, the connector may be defective, the connector may be disconnected, the cable may be wrong, or the cable is connected to a wrong connector. Check conductivity, the connection method and the cable type. For the details, refer to the hardware manual of the DU or the F940GOT. (% indicates the reference page in this manual.) [ Reference manuals ] • For the manual type, refer to % Paragraph 1.2.1. • For the cable type, refer to % Paragraph 2.3. • For the cable disconnection check (connection diagram), refer to the FX Integrated Catalog and the DU/ F940GOT Handy Manual. Interference by another application When another general application is specifying a port (COM) specified in the communication setting in the DU/WIN software, both the DU/WIN software and another application may perform communication at the same time. For example, when the DU-WIN software tries to transfer the screen data by selection of Transfer and DU while communication with the PC, circuit monitoring or device monitoring is performed, this error occurs. Terminate all other applications so that only the DU/WIN software can run. Then, perform communication. (If a communication error occurs again, start up the Windows again.) Interference by communication of PC (only when FX-50DU-TK(S) is connected) In the configuration in which the 50DU-TK is connected to the FX Series PC, when transfer is executed while the 50DU-TK is not in the wait status in the personal computer transfer mode (in which data communication is enabled), a communication error occurs or the DU/WIN software operation status becomes unstable. This is because communication between the PC is performed by way of the two-port interface built in the 50DU-TK. This error occurs only when the 50DU-TK is connected to the FX Series PC. For the operating procedure, refer to 6.5 Jobs offered by the Transfer command.
