Changing the current values all at once

File

Change All

The specified devices can be read all at once by specifying the range from the PLC.
The current values can then be changed and written to the PLC. In addition, the
setting of the read devices can be saved, and the setting of saved devices can be
read.

Change all can be performed on the change all window displayed when "Change
All" is selected from the "File" menu. Two or more change all windows can be
displayed.
When the devices to be read are specified using the dialog bar and the [Register]
button is clicked, all the specified devices are read to the change all window.

The cursor can be moved between items using the Tab key (forward direction) or
the Tab + Shift keys (reverse direction).

When the [X] button located in the upper right corner of the window is clicked, the
change all window is closed.

When a current value outside the acceptable range is entered, "NG" is displayed.

Note 1: Only one consecutive range can be read to one window. Separate ranges
cannot be read to one window. When reading separate ranges, select "Change All"
from the "File" menu, open a new change all window, specify and register the
desired range using the dialog bar, and then read it.

Note 2: Only the current value can be manipulated for timers/counters.

Note 3: Writing to the PLC requires a longer time than reading from the PLC.
