8.7.1 Editing Parts

In the following procedure, error information from a device/PLC is mapped to each bit in a word address (D100). When an error occurs, the corresponding word address bit turns ON and a lamp set up with that same word address displays its associated color.

From the [Parts (P)] menu, point to [Switch Lamp (C)] and select [Lamp (L)] or click to place a lamp on the screen.

Double-click the placed lamp. The Switch/Lamp dialog box appears. Click [Extended].

Set the [Number of States] and [State Switch Condition]. Setting the [Number of States] to 3 or more allows you to set [State Switch Condition].
(For example, [Number of States] = 17, [State Switch Condition] = Change Condition by Bit)

Specify the address to display the color coding of the lamp in [Word Address](For example, D100)

In [Select Shape], select the lamp shape for each [State].

Click the [Color] tab. In the [Select State] list, select [State 0] and define its [Display Color].
[State 0] is the state where all the specified bit addresses are OFF.

Each [State] is defined as the ON (1)/OFF (0) of the corresponding bit address.]

State	Description
[State 0]	All 0
[State 1]	Only Bit 00 is 1.
[State 2]	Only Bit 01 is 1.
[State 3]	Only Bit 02 is 1.
[State 4]	Only Bit 03 is 1.
[State 5]	Only Bit 04 is 1.
[State 6]	Only Bit 05 is 1.
[State 7]	Only Bit 06 is 1.
[State 8]	Only Bit 07 is 1.
[State 9]	Only Bit 08 is 1.
[State 10]	Only Bit 09 is 1.
[State 11]	Only Bit 10 is 1.
[State 12]	Only Bit 11 is 1.
[State 13]	Only Bit 12 is 1.
[State 14]	Only Bit 13 is 1.
[State 15]	Only Bit 14 is 1.
[State 16]	Only Bit 15 is 1.

When multiple bits turn ON at the same time, a lamp display appears in the ascending order from [Bit 0] to [Bit 15], giving priority to the smallest number.

Select [State 1] in [Select State] and set the [Display Color]. [State 1] is the state where Bit 0 of Word Address D100 is ON.

Set [Display Color] for states, from [State 2] to [State 16].

When clicking the button beside [Select State], you can change the state without displaying a list.
Depending on the shape, the color setup procedure may differ from the procedure described above. Click [Select Shape]. The [Select State] window appears. Select each state and click [Open] to select a shape and color.
Depending on the shape, you may not be able to change the color.

Click the [Label] tab and define the label for each state. Specify the font type and size, then type the text and click [OK].

When you select a lamp and press the [F2] key, you can directly edit the text on the label.
