2.2.5.2 Common Variable Setting
(1)
Common variable data setting
To set common variable data, set the variable number in # ( ) and common variable data in
DATA ( ), then press the [INPUT] key.
(2) Setting variable names of common variables #500~#519
To set a variable name, set the variable number in # ( ) and the variable name in NAME ( ), then
press the [INPUT] key. Only 20 common variables #500~#519 allow variable name setting. The
variable name is a string of up to seven alphanumeric characters beginning with an alphabetic
character.
If both data and variable names are set for variable numbers (#500~#519), the data and variable name
can be set at a time.
(3) If the [INPUT] pressed after the variable number and data (or variable name) are set, the setup data (or
variable name) is displayed at the variable number position. The variable number in the setting area #
( ) is automatically incremented (to the next number) and the contents of DATA ( ) and NAME
( ) disappear.
(4) If a variable number and data (or variable name) not listed on the selected page are set, when the
[INPUT] first pressed, the screen is changed to the page corresponding to the setup
variable number.
If again the [INPUT] pressed, the data (or variable name) is set and displayed at the position of the
corresponding variable number.
(5) Whenever the [↓] or [↑] key is pressed for the variable number displayed in # ( ), the variable number
can be incremented or decremented by one.
2.2.5.3 Common Variable Data Deleting
T
o delete all data set as common variables at a time, press the [SHIFT] [C.B CAN] keys, then press the
[INPUT] key. This deletes the data displayed one screen.
In this case, data on the other screens are not deleted. If all data on all screens are desired to be deleted,
repeat the above operation for all screens.
When [SHIFT] [C.B CAN] keys are pressed, only the display is deleted. When the [INPUT] key is then
pressed, the variable data is deleted. This delete operation causes the common variable data to be "null".
(Note) If parameter "#1128 RstVC1" is ON, the common variable data will be cleared to "null" when the
system is reset. If parameter "#1129 PwrVC1" is ON, the common variable data will be cleared to
"null" when the power is turned ON.
