Condition of State

Changes the lamp state with two methods.

 

(1)    Changing states with bit lamp

Item

Description

With Data Condition Conversion

Each digital tag composes each digit of the binary number. The state of data is defined according to the combination of each digit.

Image Added

E.g.) If DIGITAL1 = 0, DIGITAL2 = 1, DIGITAL3 = 1 and DIGITAL4 = 0, they indicate 0110 in binary. Since it is equal to “6” in decimal, the ‘State 6’ is displayed.

You can use a maximum of 16 states with this option.

At Each Bit Conversion

Each digital tag represents a single state. If all digital tags’ values are “0”, “State 0” will be displayed. If the DIGITAL4 = 1, the “State 4” will be displayed. When multiple tags are set as “1”, the priority goes to the state with the lower number.
E.g.) If DIGITAL1 = 1, DIGITAL3 = 1, “State 1” will be displayed.

You can use maximum 5 states with this option.

(2)    Changing states with word lamp

Item

Description

With Data Condition Conversion

Displays the state with a single analog tag. Maximum 256 states can be displayed.

At Each Bit Conversion

Since an analog is composed of a word, it is possible to display the states with 16 bits. It indicates that a word can display 17 states. Only one bit can be turned ON at a time. If any other bit is ON simultaneously, the priority goes to the less significant bit.

Image AddedImage Added

E.g.) If the value of an analog tag is 3(0000 0000 0000 0011), State 1 and 2 are supposed to be ON. However, since State 1 has higher priority, the State 1 is ON.
