Colors 1 to 5 (or 1, 2 and 4 with NC software 24305 and 24307) are background colors and contrast
poorly. Color 2 in particular is the background color for the PLC window and so cannot be used as a
foreground color in this window. Colors 11 and 12 are the foreground colors that go with background
color 2 depending on how the machine parameters are grouped, and should therefore be given
preference for displaying dialogues and status information. The NC control uses color 15 to display
error messages and is therefore recommended for displaying alarms and error conditions.
If color 0 is specified, then the text appears in the same color as the last displayed character.
Because the complete line is always displayed again in the window when a string is displayed (even
when a column greater than 0 is specified), a text (e.g. "Spindle Output") with the color 0 is always
displayed in the color of the numerical value to its left (e.g. color 11 when output is under 110% and
color 15 when output is over 110%) even though PLC Module 9082 only displays the numerical
value again. If the color 0 is specified for the first characters on a line however, then the color in
which these characters are displayed is not defined and can change between two displays of the
line.
When PLC Module 9082 is used in conjunction with software 24305 or 24307, the display of colors
3 to 7 varies with the selected graphics. These colors should therefore be avoided where possible to
prevent the display changing when different graphics are selected. This problem does not arise with
NC software releases 25996, 24302 and 25993.
If no screen window is currently shown for the PLC status display (window is not opened or in
background) the module will run through normally and the string is not displayed until the
corresponding screen window is displayed again and provided the string has not been overwritten
by a repeat call of Module 9082 in the meantime. Module 9081 can be used to check whether the
display is currently active. This job cannot be aborted by a CAN command during processing of the
module in a SUBMIT Job.
