When you select ‘Digital’, you will control the column with 0 or 1. All values exceeding 1 will be recognized as 1.

When you select ‘Analog’, you will control the column with the value assigned to the device address. The values from 0 to 15 will only be recognized. The values exceeding 15 will be recognized as 15 or will follow the configuration in the [Option] window.

Device Address

Device Type

Displays the list of devices according to the selected I/O device and the data type.

Address

Enter the starting address of the device. The value you can input may differ according to the data type (BIT/WORD) selection from the [Language Configuration] window, the selected I/O device, and the device type.

Device Address
Input Keypad

You can use this keypad if you must input the address without a keyboard.

Enter the address in decimal or hexadecimal according to the device type.

For example, if you assign an address in device X of CIMON-POWERTRAN PLC, the address must be assigned in hexadecimal. In the case of the device D, the address must be assigned in decimal.

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

Raw Data

Enter the value range that will be input to the PLC.

For example, if the raw data range is from 0 to 16000 and the internal data range is from 0 to 100, the Xpanel will display 100 when the PLC gets the value 16000.

This option calculates the PLC data and displays the result to the Xpanel.
