Horizontal Animation/Vertical Animation
Horizontal Animation
Specify whether to move the object horizontally.
Vertical Animation
Specify whether to move the object vertically.
Word Address/Numeric Expression
If you selected the [Word Address], specify the address where you store the moving distance.
If you selected the [Numeric Expression], click 
to open the [Numeric Expression] dialog box where you can specify an expression as a condition.
21.7.2.1 [Condition (Value)] Dialog Box Settings Guide
Data Type
When [Word Address] is selected, set the Data Type. Select [16 Bit Bin], [16 Bit BCD], [32 Bit Bin], or [32 Bit BCD].
Sign +/-
When you select [Word Address], you can assign negative values for display data. Set up when you want to display negative values. Negative values are handled using 2's Complement.
This is available when the [Data Type] is [16 Bit Bin] or [32 Bit Bin].
Specify Range
Select [Constant] or [Address] as a method of specifying the minimum and maximum values of [Source Range] and the start and end of [Position Range].
Constant
Specify a fixed constant in the Min/Max, Start/End. (Direct Specification)
Address
Specify the address where the Min/Max, Start/End values are stored. (Indirect Specification)
Do not change values in the [Source Range] and the [Position Range] from the time the control address trigger bit is turned on to the time ACK bit of the display unit is turned on. If you change the value during this time, the animation may be displayed in the wrong position.
When [Address] is selected, animation will stop if a communication error occurs with the specified device/PLC. The animation starts again when the communication error is recovered.
When [Address] is selected, an error message is shown if the specified device/PLC is not connected and the objects are not displayed.
Control Address
If you selected [Address] in the [Specify Range], specify the address for controlling the [Source Range] and [Position Range]. Use a sequence of 2 Words from the specified address.
Control
When Bit 0 (trigger bit) is turned on, start reading device address values of the Max, Min, Start, and End.
Status
When the reading of device addresses has successfully completed, Bit 0 (ACK bit) turns ON.
In the error status, the results of integrity check of max and min values are stored. When the result does not match, the value "1" is stored and the display position will not change.
When 32 bit device addresses are set to the control address, the lower 16 bits will be enabled. Enter [0] for the top 16 bits.
Confirm the ACK bit OFF and then turn off the trigger bit. When the trigger bit is turned OFF, the ACK bit or the error status will be cleared automatically. To turn the trigger bit ON next time, make sure the ACK bit is OFF.
Even when the minimum/maximum values are not matched, the ACK bit is turned ON when the reading of device addresses are complete.
Source Range
Specify the source range for the moving distance.
For more information about the relationship between [Source Range] and the [Position Range], please refer to the following.21.4.2 How Position Animation Works
When the [Word Address] is selected, minimum/maximum values are read according to the [Data Type] and [Sign +/-] settings. When the [Numeric Expression] is selected, data is read as 32 Bit Signed data.
Position Range
Sets up the range of movement for the object (as an offset from the original object location).
Start
Defines the start point for object movement.
End
Defines the end point for object movement.
Start/End values are read as 16 Bit Signed data.
