Switching Screens

116

There are three ways to switch screens registered in the GT main unit.

GT main unit screens can be switched from the PLC ladder program, by writing the
number of the screen to be displayed in hexadecimal format to the initial word of the
word device in the basic communication area.
At the same time that the screen is switched, the GT main unit writes the number of the
screen to which the display was switched in the first to third words of the basic
communication area, in hexadecimal format.
