2-1 2 Screen Composition Screen Composition Each display of the GV series is called a screen. A maximum of 1,024 screens can be registered in a screen data file. This chapter explains screen composition and elements containing parts and graphics to be displayed on screens. Screen Outline One screen is composed of a base screen with a maximum of three overlaps. Each of the base screen and the overlaps (layers) is composed of 256 divisions. These 256 divisions are overlaid on a layer like invisible sheets. Screen Base A maximum of 1,024 screens can be registered. Overlap Divisions 0 - 255 Overlap Overlap Overlap Divisions 0 - 255 Base Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: [email protected]

2-2 Divisions will contain parts (page 2-17 for details). These parts are given numbers identical to their respective division numbers. Graphics will be directly placed on the base and overlaps. These graphics are not given division numbers. What Is a Division? • A division is an invisible area. It is assigned to every part that functions on the screen. Whether one division can contain multiple parts or only one part depends on the types of parts. (For more information on the limit on the number of parts, see page 2-18.) • When placing parts on a division, the division number is shown on the icon bar.

2-3 2 Screen Composition • The GVWIN automatically performs division number allocation while judging the maximum permissible number of parts per division for each part to be placed. You do not need to worry about allocation of division numbers generally. A part that executes its function singly, such as a switch, lamp, numerical data display, or bar graph, has no limit on the number of parts per division (page 2-18). It is not necessary to worry about division numbers for placing these types of parts. Only one piece can be placed on one division, depending on the type of part as described below. Combination of Parts Different parts may be combined to execute one function. Such parts must share the same division number. • Error message display (relay mode) • Numerical data input on the GV (entry mode) If the parts are given different division numbers, they may not work correctly. Correct their division numbers. Multiple switch parts can be placed on one division.

2-4 When Using Screen Library: With the use of an editing area called screen library, the same part can be placed repeatedly on multiple screens. Before using the function, check that the division number registered in a screen library is different from the division numbers of parts already placed on screens. In the case of parts limited in number, using the same division number may prevent these parts from working normally. For more information on screen library, see “Chapter 4 Registration Items.” Division Number Check To check the division number of a part placed on the screen, follow the steps below. Select [Display Environment] from the [Display] menu. In the [Detail] tab window, check [ DIV No.] for [Detail]. Or, select [Item List] from the [Display] menu to open the item list. All division numbers used on the screen are listed. For more information on [Display Environment] setting, see page 2-10. For more information on the item list, see “Chapter 1 Basic Operation.” Error Trend1 Change System Menu Trend2 SLIB YY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss The time display in a screen library must have a division number other than “0.” If the alarm display (relay mode) has division No. 0: Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: [email protected]

There are three kinds as shown below. 0 639 799 0 479 599 GV42C/GV40/GV50T/GV50C GV52S/GV62S/GV50S/GV60 X axis (dots) Y axis (dots) Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: [email protected]

2-6 Lines and Columns Lines and columns are used as units to designate coordinates of overlaps or sizes of character displays. Screen Capacity Available memory on a screen is limited to 256 kB for the GV42/52/62, and to 128 kB for the GV40/50/60. One screen data file is capable of storing 1,024 screens. The memory capacity of one screen data file differs, depending on the model of GV as well as the font type in use. Make sure to check the use environment and available memory when registering screens. 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 8 16 24 0 10 20 30 40 Column Line dots dots 1 column = 8 dots 1 line = 20 dots Model Column Line GV42C/GV40/GV50T/GV50C 80 24 GV52S/GV62S/GV50S/GV60 100 30 For more information on the memory capacity of one screen data file, see “Appendix 1 Fonts.” If a screen data file stores a screen exceeding the maximum permissible memory, the screen may not work normally after the file is transferred to the GV. Make sure to create every screen within the capacity. If a screen data file exceeds the maximum permissible memory, an attempt to transfer the file causes an alarm message “The size is too large to communicate” and results in transmission failure.

2-7 2 Operation Environment Setting Operation Environment Setting This chapter explains the environment setting procedure for screen editing. Background Color Setting Follow the procedure below to set a screen background color. Select [Screen Setting] from the [Edit] menu. The [Screen Setting] dialog is displayed. Options [F] (foreground color), [B] (background color), and [T] (tile) under [Back Color] are provided to set the screen background. For more information on the color setting procedure, see page 2-57. Other Screen Setting Items The [Screen Setting] dialog has the following items as well. [P1] Tab Window [Switch Output] This option is active only when the GV switch type is the matrix type. For more information, see “Chapter 3 Switch” in the Reference Manual (Function). [ Item Select Memory] This option is active when numerical data display or character display parts with [Display Function: Entry Target] setting are placed in the entry mode on the base screen. For more information, see “Chapter 7 Entry Mode” in the Reference Manual (Function). Buy: www.ValinOnline.com | Phone 844-385-3099 | Email: [email protected]

2-8 [Receive Slice Level] Specify the word count of PLC data that the GV reads one time. Depending on the PLC that is used, the maximum number of words that can be read one time varies. If your setting exceeds that limit, the value reverts to the maximum that can be read one time for that PLC. The default is 40 words. As for the speed of data display, it is recommended that the receive slice level be lowered for a PLC with a fast scan time, and raised for a PLC with a slow scan time. [P2] Tab Window [PLC Mem. of Source] [Internal Mem. of Target] When you mainly use PLC memory for the macro and also directly use PLC memory for macro commands, a read to PLC memory occurs and as a result, the display speed is slowed. To avoid this, copy memory necessary for each cycle to the internal memory and execute macro commands in the internal memory. Through this process, speed down can be decreased. Using these options, specify the copy source and the copy target for each screen. [Superimpose Setting] Tab Window (For the GV42/52/62 only) This tab window is provided for the use of the superimpose function on overlaps. For more information, see “Chapter 2 Overlap” in the Reference Manual (Function). [Animation] Tab Window (For the GV42/52/62 only) This tab window is provided for the use of the animation function. For more information, see “Chapter 17 Animation” in the Reference Manual (Function).

2-20 Setting Memory “Setting memory” in the previous chart means the number of memory locations, which is read on one screen. This does not mean the number of words used on a screen. Screen resolution varies with models of GV. The read area under [System Setting] is counted as one memory location. (The write area is not the target to count.) Therefore, to determine the maximum number of memory locations for a part, subtract one from the number indicated in the above table. The way of counting for setting memory is unique, but these values should be enough to create screens. Examples: • One memory location is counted even when 10 words are used in the relay mode. • Switch output memory is not counted as setting memory. For lamp memory, however, one is counted for each lamp memory location used. • Each data display is counted as one memory location. If maximum and minimum values are set, one memory location each is counted.
