. The following screen appears. In [Language], select the alarm message display language.
In the Block Settings, select the check box for the desired display mode (History/Log/Active) for the block to which the message is registered, and set the number of messages stored as history for each mode.
Select [Backup History] and define [Hide Continuing Alarms].
When the [Backup History] check box is not selected, the alarm history data will be erased when the display unit is turned OFF or reset.
Open the [Block 1] tab, and select [Word Monitoring].
In [Data Type], select the data type of the [Alarm Value] to store in [Word Address].

Alarm settings can be exported or imported in CSV format.
Open the screen, and set the Alarm that will display the History. In the [Parts (P)] menu, select [Alarm (A)], or click 
and place the Part on the screen.
Double-click the placed Alarm. The Alarm dialog box appears.
Specify the block to display in Alarm parts, and select [History] in the [Display Mode].
When [Multiple line display] is selected in the [Message Display Method], messages can be displayed on a separate line from other information such as the trigger date or time. The message display area expands so you can quickly verify contents of long messages.
Set the [Display Start Row], [Display Alarms] and [Display Row Spacing].
As needed, use the [Item] tab, [Color] tab, and [Display] tab options to change alarm message's number of display characters, text color, background color, font, and size.
The maximum number of characters on one line and lines on one screen are decided by the type of display unit and [Size].
If your message is wider than the display area, the portion that exceeds the area is truncated and is not displayed. However, if your model supports the banner display of alarm history and [Enable Banner] is selected in the [Display Settings] tab, or if you are using GP-4100 series, longer messages can be displayed because messages scroll automatically as banner.
For [Word Monitoring], if the alarm value stored in the [Word Address] fluctuates frequently, the alarm will be triggered often.
