Display numeric data stored in a specified word address in a Device/PLC.
Monitor Word Address
You can have a real-time numeric display of data stored in the word address specified here.
Real variables cannot be displayed because they are 64 bits in length.
Allow Input
You can specify to accept input from a keypad, bar code reader, or a two-dimensional bar code reader. When you select this check box, the [Data Entry] tab is displayed.
14.11.1.3 Numeric Display - Data Entry/Basic
This cannot be set if the [Display Format] option is set on the [Display] tab's [Extended] screen.

Scaling Settings
When Scaling Setting is performed, [Monitor Word Address] data is automatically converted according to the Source Range and the Display Range. The results are displayed in numeric values.
Display numeric data as relative values.
Data Type
Select the type of data to be displayed.
Bit Length |
Data Type |
---|---|
8 bit |
Dec, Hex, Oct, Bin, BCD |
16 bit |
Dec, Hex, Oct, Bin, BCD |
32 bit |
Dec, Hex, Bin, BCD, Float |
When using 32-bit data, the relationship of high/low order for word data depends on the device/PLC type. For more information, refer to your device/PLC manual.
The Float format is IEEE754.
Sign +/-
Defines negative number support for display data. Set up when you want to display negative values. Negative values are handled using 2's Complement.
This can only be set when the [Data Type] is [Dec].
Round Off
Sets whether to round off fractional values in the display data. Fractions will be discarded if rounding off is not selected.
This setting is available when [Data Type] is [Float].
Get Operation Log
Specifies whether to record the Operation Log. Can be specified only when [Allow Input] is selected.
When the [Enable Operation Log Function] check box is cleared in the common settings [Operation Log Settings], you cannot obtain operation log for individual parts.
Displaying Numeric Data as Relative Values
Scaling Settings
When Scaling Setting is performed, the [Monitor Word Address] data is automatically converted according to the Source Range and the Display Range. The results are displayed in numeric values. (Display relative values)
For example:
Data Type
Select the type of data to be displayed.
Bit Length |

---|---|
8 bits |
Dec, Hex, Oct, Bin, BCD |
16 bits |
Dec, Hex, Oct, Bin, BCD |
32 bits |
Dec, Hex, Bin, BCD, Float |
Bit Length
Set the valid bit length of the address to be displayed. This is available when [Data Type] is [8 bits] or [16 bits].
[8 bits]: 1 to 8
[16 bits]: 1 to 16
You can select 8 bits when the [Address Type] is [Direct Specification].
Source Range
Specify Source Range
Select how the maximum and minimum values of the Source Range will be specified.
Constant
Specify a set constant as the Min/Max. (Direct Specification)
Address
Specify the address where the Min/Max values are stored. (Indirect Specification)
Sign +/-
Specifies whether or not source data is able to handle negative numeric data.
None
Only positive numeric data.
2's Complement
Negative numbers are handled with 2's complement.
MSB Sign
Negative numbers are handled with MSB sign.
Display Range
Display Specification
Choose how the max and min values of the Display Range (initial caps) will be specified.
Constant
Specify a set constant as the Min/Max. (Direct Specification)
Address
Specify the address where the Min/Max values are stored. (Indirect Specification)
Round Off
When displaying data, select whether fractions get rounded off or truncated.
Display Sign +/-
Set to display negative numbers.
This can be set when the [Data Type] is [Dec].
Example: When writing "-123"
Source Range / Display Range
Min. Value/Max. Value
Select the Source Range and Display Range for the numeric data to be displayed.
If [Specify Source Range] or [Display Specification] is [Constant], the maximum / minimum values are entered.
If [Address] is set, specify the word address where the min/max value will be stored.
The range setting differs according to [Data Type], [Source Sign], and [Display Sign +/-].
