Creating Data Entry Screens
8–6
When inserting a data entry field, you must provide register information that
determines the address and format of the data storage location. This section
describes options available for data entry registers.
If a data display is included on a data entry screen, the data display value is
only updated when the screen is entered. Data does not update continuously.
Bit
The screen for a Bit format is shown below:
SLC or PLC
depending upon protocol.
Format Selection Description
Register Number The controller data address to be monitored.
Bit Number The Bit number if the register number designates a multiple bit
address (a 16 bit data address, for example). This selection is
irrelevant if the register number refers to a Bit type address.

Input Data by Pressing ’1’/’0’
or ’Y’/’N’ ?
(Enter 1 or Y)
This parameter determines whether the operator will enter 1 or Y to
set the defined bit address. If 1 is entered, 0 will clear the bit
address. If Y is entered, N will clear the bit address. The DTAM
Micro module does not have the ’Y’/’N’ keys so the ’1’/’0’ keys are
used to enter data.
Default Value ?
Z = No Default
(Enter 1,0,Y,N,Z)
This parameter defines the default value that is displayed at the
data entry position of the DTAM display. If a default value of Y is
entered, a Y is displayed, and the operator is only required to press
ENTER to set the bit address.
An entry of Z defines no default value. NONE appears in the
window when z is entered.
