Use Multiple Language Table

Select this option to use multiple columns from the string table. If this option is de-selected, you can only use the contents of column 0, regardless of the string table configuration.

Initial Value

Configure this option when the ‘Use Multiple Language Table’ option is selected. The assigned value will select the initial language to use. Note that this will be overridden by the value of the chosen tag or address.

Control Addr / Tag

Configure this option when the ‘Use Multiple Language Table’ option is selected. Assign a device address or tag to control the column/language number. For example, when the selected tag’s value is 3, all Multi Language Strings will display the contents of column 3.

Addr

Uses the address of a device registered in the [I/O Device] menu, or in SYSTEM MEMORY. Bit-type devices only allow language 0 or 1 to be selected. Word-type devices allow any language between 0 and 9 to be selected. Pressing the (blue star)  button button gives more options for address selection.

Tag

Controls the column with a tag registered in the [Database]. Bit-type tags only allow language 0 or 1 to be selected; word-type tags allow any language between 0 and 9 to be selected. You can manually enter the tag name or press the (blue star)  button button to browse the database.

Language Option
(Lang. 0~9)

Name

Enter a language name for the column number (Ex: “English”, “Korean”, “Spanish”, etc.).

Font

Select the font to display the corresponding language in. You may choose from the fonts which were downloaded with XpanelDesigner.

...

If using a device address for column control, you can configure the details by pressing the (blue star) button.

Data Type

Select the data type ('Digital', ‘Analog’, or ‘String’) to be used for the column control. This option is the same as the Bit/Word dropdown menu in the [Language Configuration] window.

With ‘Digital’, you can only select column 0 or 1.

With ‘Analog’, the value assigned to the device address will be the number of the column selected. Only values between 0 and 15 will be recognized. Values exceeding 15 will follow the configuration in the [Option] window.

I/O Device

Selects a device to access from the list of I/O devices registered in the current project.

Device Address

Assign the device register and address for the column control.

Device Type

Displays a list of available device registers based on the selected I/O device and the chosen data type (Digital or Analog).

Address

Enter the address of the device. The address format may differ depending on the data type (BIT/WORD), the selected I/O device, and the address type.

Device Address
Input Keypad

You can use this keypad to input the address without a keyboard.

Enter the address in decimal or hexadecimal depending on the device type.

Option

The [Option] button is activated when the ‘Analog’ data type is selected.


Press the button to bring up the [Analog Tag Option] window as shown below.

 

Data Type

You can select the analog data type from the following list: INT8, INT16, INT32, UINT8, UINT16, UINT32, BCD8, BCD16, BCD32, UBCD8, UBCD16, UBCD32, or Float . UINT16 is the default type.

Internal Data

Enter the value range to be used by Xpanel. The default range is from 0 to 65535.

When you select the ‘Clipping’ option, a warning message will appear when the value exceeds the assigned range, and the value will not be used.

Raw Data

Enter the value range which will be input by the PLC. See section 4.1 for more information on value scaling.

 

Scale

This option rescales the PLC data from the Raw Data range to fit within the Internal Data range. See section 4.1 for more information on value scaling.

Select the Model

Select the target Xpanel model. You can select the following models: XT05S, XT06C, XT08C, XT10C, XT12C, XT05M mono, XT04C, XT07C, XT15C, XT10CC, XT07C-R, or CM-NP/iNP. You cannot select Hybrid Xpanel. To use a project with Hybrid Xpanel, you must create a new project and select the “Hybrid” option. Alternatively, you can configure the I/O Device options to match those of a Hybrid Xpanel project.

Back Up

Selecting this option backs up the current project before conversion. When this option is selected, the ‘Back Up Prj. Name’ and ‘Back Up Prj. Path’ fields are enabled.

LX Series

This box allows the project to work with the new LX Series of Xpanel devices. Because the series is still in testing, functionality is currently limited. Be sure to back up your project before conversion.

The LX series contains…

  • New programs

  • New design

  • A new scripting language (based on ECMAScript6)

※ All scripts used in the project must be translated manually when converting to the ‘LX series’ option.

※ Features not yet supported in the LX series:

  • Security (Including condition settings for security level)

  • Recipe

  • Data server

  • Schedule

  • Simulator

  • PC runtime

  • SPC, ST, Scope, Log, XY trend

  • Keypad page

※ Communication drivers currently supported in the LX series:

  • Serial: CIMON PLC XP/CP series, OMRON Hostlink

  • CIMON PLC XP/CP series, CIMON PLC PLC-S, Modbus TCP

Back Up Prj. Name

Enter the name of the backup project. You must enter the path to the project’s parent directory before specifying the project name. The complete project directory will be generated automatically while editing the project name. You may not use the special characters shown in the following message. Underscores (“_”) and dashes (“-”) are allowed.

Back Up Prj. Path

Select the parent directory path where the backup project will be saved. Once a project name is entered, the full path will be placed here automatically.

Convert

The project will be backed up and converted. Do not edit the project or perform other actions on the PC until conversion is complete, as this may cause the system to overload. If you did not select the ‘Back Up’ option, an additional prompt will ask you to confirm your choice.
