5. Programming for Operator Panel
28 OP1 Rev.1a
5.1.2 Display Device
Text displays such as the Operator Panel are called a “display device.” The RC170 supports
the following three display devices, which can be displayed on the required device from the
application:
#21 RC+ execution screen
#23 Operator Panel
#24 Teach Pendant
There are two ways of selecting display devices:
A: Selecting the display device in the parameters of the Print command
Integer OfsQty
Print #23, “Input the offset travel.” ‘ #23 is Operator Panel.
Input #23, OfsQty
B: Executing the display device selection command
Integer OfsQty
DispDev 23 ‘Set the Operator Panel as the display device.
Print “Input the offset travel.”
Input OfsQty
The command window differs from that for program execution in that the display device
cannot be switched. When no display device specified from the command window, Print
command is displayed on the command window. To display on a specific display device
from the command window, specify the display device in the parameters of the Print
command.
Numerical values and strings can be entered to the application program from the application
screen on the Operator Panel.
As the Print command outputs data to the display device, the Input command inputs data
from the Input device. Same as the Print command, there are two ways of selecting the
device to obtain input.
A: Selecting the input device in the parameters of the Input command
Integer OfsQty
Print #23, “Input the offset travel.” ‘ #23 is Operator Panel.
Input #23, OfsQty
