If the screen does not change as expected
If the screen is changed from the PLC, and the GT main unit
function switch parts are also used to change the screen (Change
Screen operation mode), a case sometimes occurs in which the
screen does not change, even though an instruction to change the
screen has been issued by the PLC.
Example: Screen No. 1 is displayed in keeping with the instruction from the PLC, and
the screen is changed to Screen No. 2 using the function switch parts.
