Please check the movement sufficientlybefore shifting to actual operation.Reference: S To start up second Support Tool, select [Import Component] from [File] menu,For details, refer to 3–3–6.S If the whole table is copied, all the contents in the specified table are copied collectively. For method to copy the individual data in a table, refer to section 7“Memory Table Setting” or section 8 “Editing Graphic Data”.S Check box for “Overwrite PLC Address” appears when copying the whole tableindicated below.
If this check box is checked, PLC address setting is overwritten.If not checked, settings such as initial value will be overwritten but the PLC address setting remains the same. Note that I/O comments are not copied even ifthe PLC address is overwritten. If you need the same I/O comment, copy the I/Ocomment.Bit memory table, Extended I/O output table, Numeral table, String table, F–Keyinput notify tableOperation using the mouse (1)(1) Specify the table data icon.Multiple tables can be selected by dragging the mouse cursor while pressingthe Shift key or Ctrl key.(2) Click right button of the mouse on the selected table data icon, then select[Copy].(3) Click right button of the mouse on the desired table in the table data icon display area of another Support Tool, then select [Paste].77Operating the Application ManagerSection 4-2(4) In the confirmation dialog box, click on.

This is called “Validation”.The following three validation functions are provided:S Validation performed on real timeThe Support Tool provides real time validation while users are creating data.This function mainly checks the elements one by one. Moreover, maximumnumber of elements and memory size will be also watched.S Validation performed from [Tools] menu → [Validate]It is also possible to perform the Validation by [Tools] menu → [Validate].By the check, Support Tool will detect the contradiction in the screen (application) data including association between touch switches and the elements andso on.This check will be also performed at the beginning of the download process toprohibit the wrong data to be downloaded.S Validation during the data conversion and importing DOS data fileValidation will be also performed when converting the screen data (application)from a current model to another model and when importing the DOS data file.Data conversion will be also performed when the registered symbol data fromthe Symbol Manager which was created by a certain PT model, has beendragged and dropped to the another PT model screen.
So at this time validationwill be also performed.Reference: Validation will be also performed when saving the screen data in mmi format.Executing the ValidationS Validating the current focused screenUnder condition which the screen you want to validate is opened and select [Validate] from [Tools] menu.S Validating the whole screen data (application) file(1) Right after performing the screen validation mentioned above, choose [Validate] from [Tools] menu again. Confirmation dialog box arrives.(2) Click. Then the validation will start.During the validation, it is not possible to perform other operation.After the validation has been completed the result message arrives.Reference: S Please execute the validation after the creation of screen data (application).S Validation might need a sufficient time period in case the screen data (application) itself has large size and validation for the whole data has been executed.So when the time “Validating for the whole data” has been performed, the confirmation dialog box appears asking whether you want to perform the validationor not.
Clickto start the validation.79Operating the Application ManagerSection 4-2Displaying the error log and its locationIf the error check function detects an error, a brief error message is displayed andyou are requested to confirm the “error log”.Reference: S The messages contents of the error log are cleared when an element or a screenis operated. Therefore, if an error is detected, display the error log window immediately to determine the details of the error.
Since errors occurring duringdata conversion, in particular, may not reoccur if you try to check them later, theymust be checked at their occurrence.S The results of the error check can be printed or saved in a file. For details, refer toSection 12 “Making Reports”.The procedure for displaying the error log window is shown below.(1) Select [View] in the menu bar, then choose [Error Log].The error log window opens.With some types of errors, double-clicking on the error message will display thescreen(s) where the error has occurred.For the meaning of error message and the solution to be taken to correct the error,refer to Appendix A “Data Conversion” and Appendix G “Error Messages”.80Operating the Application Manager4-2-12Section 4-2Sending (Downloading) the Data to a PTThe data created using the Support Tool can be sent (downloaded) to a PT.
It ispossible to send the screen data collectively or only the data of the specifiedscreens or memory tables. Here, only the procedure is described. For details, refer to 11–3 “Sending (Downloading) the Data”.Before sending the data, set the communication conditions (communication portand communication speed [Baud Rate]) by selecting [Connect] (menu bar) and[Comms. Setting].Operation using the mouseS Sending (Downloading) the whole data file(1) Right click the mouse on the screen data file icon, then select [Download].If the screen data is free of errors, sending of the data starts immediately.A message is displayed if the data has an error.S Sending (Downloading) specified screen(1) Specify the screen icon.Multiple files can be selected by dragging the mouse cursor while pressingthe Shift key or Ctrl key.(2) Make a right click on the selected screen icon, then choose [Download].(3) Specify if child screens of continuous/overlapping screens are also to besent, then click on.If the screen data is free of errors, transmitting of the data starts immediately.A message will be displayed if the data has an error.S Sending (Downloading) specified Table(1) Right click the mouse on the table data box icon, then select [Download].The dialog box used for specifying the table to be sent (downloaded) is displayed for PTs which allow table data to be sent in table individually.
WithPTs which do not allow table data to be sent table by table, sending of thedata starts immediately.(2) Specify the table to be sent (downloaded), then click on.Reference: It is not possible to send (download) the direct access information or systemmemory individually. Please use the menu operation.81Operating the Application ManagerSection 4-2Operation using the menuS Sending (Downloading) the whole data file(1) Select [Connect] in the menu bar, then choose [Download (NT-series Support Tool → PT)] → [Application].If the screen data is free of errors, sending of the data starts immediately.A message is displayed if the data has an error.S Sending (Downloading) specified screen(1) Specify the screen icon.Multiple files can be selected by dragging the mouse cursor while pressingthe Shift key or Ctrl key.(2) Select [Connect] in the menu bar, then choose [Download (NT-seriesSupport Tool → PT)] → [Screen].(3) Specify if child screens of continuous/overlapping screen are also to besent, then click on.If the screen data is free of errors, sending of the data starts immediately.A message is displayed if the data has an error.S Sending (Downloading) specified Tables(1) Select [Connect] in the menu bar, then choose [Download (NT-seriesSupport Tool → PT)] → [Table].The dialog box used for specifying the table to be sent is displayed for PTswhich allow table data to be sent in table units.
