Screen Creation Software

Software for Creating User Screen Displays
Screen Creation Software
A typical working screen using
FX-PCS-DU/WIN software
Features
• Create screen displays quickly and easily.
• Output screens to a printer.
• Save screen data for other purposes.
• Read data from/write data to a ROM
writer.
• Transfer the OS to the F940GOT. (The
OS is already loaded in the F940GOT
when it is shipped from the factory.)
• User display screens are created using
a PC software that runs under MS
Windows 95.
Two types of screen creation software
are available - one for operators who are
familiar with the Mitsubishi Electric Data
Access Unit (DU), and one for operators
who are familiar with the A900GOT
Series.
Editing of Sequence Programs Possible
DU Series: Editing and Monitoring
FX-PCS-DU/WIN (Ver. 2.00 or higher) of List Programs FX- Series only
Windows 95 Built-in FX-10P functions facilitate debugging
and maintenance of sequence programs
A900 Series: List program read-out screen

Step number Instruction list Operation keyboard
Applications
Allows minor program changes at the work
site, eliminating the need to prepare periph-
erals for that purpose. Even sudden trou-
bleshooting and maintenance calls are a
snap. Reduces costs for customers who took
delivery of machinery together with an FX-
10P Handy Programming Panel (HPP).
Functions and operations
• The F940GOT is equipped with built-
in Read/ Write/ Insert/ Delete and
Monitor functions for instruction list pro-
grams equivalent to those provided by the
FX-10P Handy Programming Panel
(HPP).
Buffer Memory Editing and
Monitoring FX2N, FX2NC Series only
Applications
This function allows you to view the con-
tents of special block buffer memory
(BFM) without using peripherals.
Gain/offset values of analog I/O blocks,
etc., can be set without programming.
Functions and operations
• Special block BFM Read/ Write/
Monitor for the FX Series

Applications
I/O continuity checks, current values and
set value alterations for Timer, Counter
and Data Registers.
Functions and operations
• Specifies any programmable controller
device and displays /alters ON/OFF, set
values and current values. Also performs
forced ON/OFF. When comments have
been prepared for each device, it is possi-
ble to switch to a comment display.
Other HPP Modes

Data Compatibility
A typical working screen using
FX-PCS-DU/WIN software
• Compatibility between the screen data
created using the FX-PCS-DU/WIN and
SW1D5C-GOT-PACK software packages
is maintained by data conversions as
shown in the diagram at right. Moreover,
screen data created for the earlier FX-
50DU-TK(S) or A800 Series can also be
converted for use on the F940GOT.
