1.5 Cautions for Use
This section describes the cautions for using the Ladder Builder for KV. Be sure to
read this section.
■ When a notebook personal computer is used
When a notebook personal computer is used, ensure that the RS-232C is set up. If it
is not, a communication error will occur while the monitor is operating and monitor
operation may not be correct.
For the setup procedure, refer to your personal computer’s instruction manual.
■ While the monitor is operating
Never turn off the power of the Visual KV, the conventional KV or unplug the con-
nection cable while the monitor is operating. This may cause a communication error
to occur and the monitor to be forcibly terminated.
■ Monitor after the ladder diagram is changed
Be sure to select "Convert
➞ Transfer ➞ Monitor" from the menu and transfer
programs to the PLC when operating the monitor after changing the ladder diagram.
■ Resolution of the screen
Ensure that the resolution of the screen is at least 640 x 480. It is recommended that
the highest possible resolution be used to ensure comfortable operation. (1,024 x
768 or higher is recommended.)
■ Long file names
The Ladder Builder for KV runs in Windows 95, but it does not support long file
names. File names can only consist of up to 8 half-width characters and the file
extension (3 characters).
