Can I register texts in advance and use them for switch/lamp/text on the screen?
Yes, you can register and call the texts using [String Table] function.
Strings that are used many times throughout the screen program can be registered to a string table.
Once registered, they can be used for text items.
If a string needs to be changed, changing the string in the string table will change all occurrences in the screen program.
How to register [String Table]
1. Go to [Home] > [Registration Item] > [String Table] to open the string table.
2. Register text and group name.
*Group name can be blank if group name is not necessary.
*It is possible to register the table from the setting dialog box of each part.
Please refer to the Reference Manual 2 for further details.
