I want to display warnings when alarms occur.

This section explains how to display a pop-up window containing warning details when an alarm occurs.

1. Pop-up windows displayed on top of the normal screen are called global windows on the VT.
Click “Global window” -> “New screen”. The [New screen] dialog box is displayed. Specify the Window No., and then click [OK].

2. The global window (pop-up) editing screen is displayed. The white frame indicates the size and display position of the global window.
Adjust this size and position with the mouse.

3. Create a button for closing the global window.
From the menu, select [Parts] -> [Switches/Lamps] -> [Switch], and then place a switch on the global window.

4. Set the placed switch as shown below. With these settings, tapping this switch will close the displayed global window.

5. To display the global window when an alarm occurs, use the VT’s global function control.
From the menu, select [Resources] -> [Global function control].

6. Click [Add], and then double-click the added function.

7. The example settings in the following figure are for displaying global window number 0 when R000000 is set to ON.

  Set “Window No. specified mode” to “externally” to make it possible to use PLC devices to specify the number of the global window to display.
