20.5.2 Setting the Number of Device Points
After creating a sequence program management area (project), the number of device points to be used in the project
must be set first. This operation is required every time when a new project is created.
For details on each setting item, refer to the "PLC Programming Manual".
(Note) If this operation is not performed, an error occurs when a sequence program is downloaded to a CNC
controller.
(1) Select the tab [Device].
The device range usable for each project changes in the multi-project environment. Input the points "number of
device points + number of common points" which have been set on "Device setting screen of built-in PLC built-in
editing function" as the number of device points for the parameters.
An error occurs when the number of device points is wrong.
(2) Input the numerical values for device points on the screen below and click [End].
Set the number of device points ("number of device points + number of common points" which has been set at the
device setting screen of built-in PLC built-in editing function) in the section in red square below. The number should
match the currently connected project. After the setting for the number of device points is completed, press "End"
to finish the edit.
(Note) If a value other than the designated values is input, an error occurs at the download to a CNC controller.
