How to display overlap parts from the PLC (external)
There are four overlap part types.
- Normal overlap
- Call-overlap
- Multi overlap
- Global overlap
In the case of external commands, the display method differs.
[Normal/call overlap]
Check [Control Device] in the relevant [Overlap] dialog.
The overlap part will be displayed when bit 0 of the specified control device memory is set (ON).
Normal Overlap
Call-Overlap
[Multi Overlap]
- Double-click on the multi-overlap icon and then set [Display Method] to [Control Device].
Configure the setting for [Control Device] and [Information Output Device] (4 consecutive words occupied).
Contents of info output memory
Memory Contents Operation n The overlap library number of the multi overlap part currently displayed on the screen is stored.
When no overlap display is shown, "-1" is stored.V→PLC n+1 Specify the overlap library number to be displayed. V←PLC n+2 Specify the X coordinate of the multi overlap display. V←PLC n+3 Specify the Y coordinate of the multi overlap display. V←PLC - The overlap part will be displayed when the overlap library number to display is set for [Device for Overlap Library No. to Display], which is set in step 1, and bit 0 of the command device memory is set (ON).
[Global Overlap]
- Click [System Setting] -> [Global Setting] -> [Global Overlap Setting] and check [Use Overlap].
Set [Designate] as [Control Device].
Configure the setting for [Control Device] and [Information Output Device] (4 consecutive words occupied).
- The overlap part will be displayed when the overlap library number to display is set for [Device for Overlap Library No. to Display], which is set in step 1, and bit 0 of the command device memory is set (ON).
