Select the proper baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity and communication port in the dialog

and transducers using different communication formats.
Selecting the proper PLC type which bases on the destination controller. When
OP10-PCLINK downloads (writes) the screens, it sends the appointed PLC communication
protocol and the data of the screens to OP10 all together. When the display is running, it
communicates with PLC through the protocol.
2.5.2 Making Basic Screen
In the example given below, the PLC type is TP03. The example will give you a general
description of screen making.
Firstly, enter the system initial screen (default value is screen no.1) editing mode. The
properties of the current screen (screen no.1) are shown at the right and bottom edge of the
interface. Every screen has its own properties, which include 4 items:
„ Screen Description:
Descript the use of the screen. It helps the designer to note the use of all the screens.
(can be omitted),for example:“ main menu”
„ When Up Arrow key ([▲]) pressed, jump to screen:
The number of the screen that it will jump to when Up Arrow key pressed.
„ When Down Arrow key ([▼]) pressed, jump to screen:
The number of the screen that it will jump to when Down Arrow key pressed.
„ Choose communication port:
OP10 supports every individual screen choosing its own communication ports.
The most convenient way for screen jumping is to press [ESC], [▲] and [▼] when the OP10
is running. The user can also jump from one screen to another by pressing the user-defined
function keys.
Note:
„ If the [ ] and [ ] key in the current screen are defined for other functions, the screen
jumping parameters of the screen properties are invalid.
„ If the screen designated by the [ ] key doesn’t exist, the system will search up until the
existing screen is found and jump to it. It will stop at screen 1 if no screen is found. The
situation of the [ ] key is similar, that means the system will search down for the
screen if the designated one doesn’t exist..
