8.7.5.1 Procedure - Batch Conversion of Selected Parts Addresses

  1. Select multiple parts whose addresses you want to convert in a single operation.

    • You can select multiple parts whose addresses are to be converted using the following methods.

    • Hold [Shift] key and click

    • Hold [Ctrl] key and click

    • [Ctrl]+[A]

    • You cannot convert multiple D Script, Trigger Action, and function key addresses.

    • When the selected part is set up with Call Screen, addresses on the called screen are not included.

  2. Select the part and then right-click to view the menu.

  3. Click [Convert Address]. The [Convert Address] dialog box opens.

  4. All addresses used in the selected parts will be displayed. Enter check marks on the left of the addresses you want to convert as a block. (For example, X100)

    • Addresses not displayed in [Addresses To Convert] cannot be converted with the address conversion feature.

  5. Define the Start Address after conversion. (For example, M200)

    • Addresses with cleared [Addresses to Convert] check boxes will not be converted. If you want to convert an address in the same device individually, select the check box of the address you want to convert and click [Convert].

    • Addresses with the same device name set in [Addresses To Convert] will be converted. In the procedure example, only addresses with the device name X will be converted to the device name M.

    • Even when a device name is the same, if the address set in [Addresses After Conversion] is a bit address, only bit addresses will be converted, if it is a word address, only word addresses will be converted.

    • Addresses are converted using the same increments as the [Addresses To Convert]. For example, if the setting before conversion is X0100, X0200, X0300, then the addresses after conversion are M0200, M0300, M0400.

    • If any addresses after conversion are smaller than the start address of the device, they will be converted to the start address.

    • If any addresses after conversion are larger than the end address of the device, all overflow addresses are converted to the end address.

  6. Click [Convert].
