16.3 Summary of Functions
16.3 Summary of Functions
The display module functions are summarized below.
The function to control the display module from programs are called "5DM control functions".
Caution
• When a keyword is registered in the PLC, only "Time display and setting" and "Error display valid/invalid"
are displayed, and other items cannot be displayed.
If the [OK] button is pressed when a keyword is registered, the error display blinks for 5 seconds.
• A sequence program is required to enable a hexadecimal display of the timer (T), counter (C), and data
register (D) [16-bit/32-bit] current values.
• When the scan time is long, the display in the display module is updated at low speed.
Setting the constant scan mode (M8039 and D8039) can improve the display update timing.
For details on constant scan mode, refer to the Programming Manual.
