Transmitting Screen Data from the Support Tool

The screen data is created with the Support Tool and then transmitted to the NT31/NT31C. This section explains how to transmit the screen data.

For details on how to create the screen data and the operation of the Support Tool, refer to the Reference Manual and the NT-series Support Tool Ver. 4.1 for Windows Operation Manual (V061-E1-j).

SThe screen data can be transmitted also from the memory unit installed in the NT31/NT31C. For details on this method, refer to 3-5 Using a Memory Unit (-VjVersions) or 3-6 Using a Memory Unit (Versions without the Vj Suffix).

SThe screen data can be transmitted at a faster rate by setting High for Baud Rate on the Comms. Setting... window of the Support Tool.

SIf writing to the screen data memory is disabled by the setting made for System Setting in the System Installer mode, screen data transmission is not possible.

The screen data comprises the following types of data.

•User screen data (screen units)

•System memory (memory switch) settings

•Direct connection information

•Numeral memory table data

•Character string memory table data

•Bit memory table data

•Mathematical table data

•Mark information

•Image/library data

•Recipe table data

It is possible to transmit the screen data (data for all the screens) in file units, or to transmit individual data or the data of individual screens in data units. (It is not possible to transmit mathematical table data in data units.)

When data is transmitted in file units, all of the screen data in the NT31/NT31C is cleared and then the new data is transmitted.

When data is transmitted in data units, first the previous data is invalidated, then the new data is registered as valid data. Since the previous data is not cleared, free memory area in the NT31/NT31C will be insufficient when transmissions in data units are repeated. If this happens, write the screen data again by data transmission in file units.

To transmit screen data from the Support Tool to the NT31/NT31C, follow the procedure below.

Operation

1, 2, 3... 1. Connect the NT31/NT31C to a personal computer in which the Support Tool has been installed and turn the power to the NT31/NT31C ON.

2. Turn ON the power to the personal computer and start up the Support Tool.
