Screen Data Composition and Transmission Units

Transmitting Screen Data from the Support Tool

1,2,3...

If 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 table data in data units.)

When data is transmitted in file units, all of the screen data in the NT631/ NT631C 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 NT631/NT631C 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 NT631/NT631C, follow the procedure below.

Operation

1.Connect the NT631/NT631C to a personal computer in which the Support Tool has been installed and turn the power to the NT631/NT631C ON.

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

3.Establish the Transmit mode by following the menu operation from the Sys- tem Menu shown below at the NT631/NT631C.
