2. Overview and Operation

Displaying contact comments

•

The contact comments for the specified devices are displayed from the left end,
provided they are set with alphanumeric characters. However, only comment 1
is displayed.

•

Up to 20 characters can be displayed for a comment. The 21st and following
characters are not displayed.

•

If a numeric value and a comment overlap, the numeric value has priority to be
displayed.

•

If a device has no contact comment, the device number is displayed.

•

If a contact comment is changed and transferred to the KV unit, disconnect the
communication cable of the KV-D20 once and connect it again. This updates
the display.

Note 1: To enter a space to the left of a contact comment, input "~" (swung dash)
at the left end of the comment with the LADDER BUILDER for KV. Spaces without
"~" at the left end will be ignored. When "~" is used in the middle of a contact
comment, it is displayed as "

➞

Note 2: Contact comments can be displayed only when the LADDER BUILDER for
KV Ver. 1.5 or later is used and the compression transfer of contact comments is
not selected.

Note 3: Even the contact comments for ladder programs created with LADDER
BUILDER for KV Ver. 1.0x or KV-LADDER can be displayed on the KV-D20 after
being transferred to the KV unit with the LADDER BUILDER for KV Ver. 1.5 or
later.

Note 4: "Not transfer" is initially set as the contact comment transfer setting of the
LADDER BUILDER for KV Ver. 1.5 or later. To display contact comments on the
KV-D20, enable the contact comment transfer setting with the LADDER BUILDER
for KV Ver. 1.5 or later.
