The WATCH addresses can be used to display the data in up to four registers in messages. Click the Syntax
button to see how to configure the message to display the data.
Data Transfer (Trigger-based)
The Data Transfer (Trigger-based) Object is used to transfer word-based data from the specified Source
address(es) to the specified Destination address(es). This can be used to transfer data from one device to
another.
The Source and Destination address fields define the starting addresses, and the No. of words field specifies
how many consecutive addresses are transferred. The data transfer can be triggered by touch (Touch trigger
mode) or by an external or internal bit (External trigger mode).
Backup
The Backup Object is used to copy recipe files (*.rcp), event files (*.evt), and data files (*.dtl) from the HMIs
internal memory to a USB flash drive, SD card, or a PC connected via Ethernet.
The L Series do not support SD cards.
When Historical event log or Historical data log is selected, the historical event logs or data logs can be saved
in their native file formats (*.evt or *.dtl respectively) or in *.csv format. The range of history files can be
selected and the backup can be triggered by touch (Touch trigger mode) or by an external or internal bit
(External trigger mode).
When External trigger (word) is selected for the Trigger Mode, the following registers control the Backup,
allowing the operator to define what files are backed up:
Trigger address: When the value changes from 0 to 1, the backup is triggered.
Trigger address + 1: Defines the start day for the backup.
Trigger address + 2: Defines the range of days to backup (maximum 90 days).
When the backup process starts, local bit LB9039 is set. When the backup is complete, local bit LB9039 is
reset.
Timer
The Timer Object is used to control an output bit based on the state of an input bit and a measurement bit
that is controlled by a preset time. There are five different configurations or modes for the timer including On
Delay, Off Delay, Pulse, Accumulated On Delay, and Accumulated Off Delay.
When placed on a base window, the timer object is active only when that window is showing on the HMI.
When placed on the Common Window (Window 4), the timer object is active at all times, regardless of which
window is displayed on the HMI.
PLC Control
The PLC Control Object is used to perform a number of background tasks. Click the New button to set up a
control object. Click Type of control to open a drop-down box with the following options:
