4.2 Overview and Operation
Displaying contact comments
• The contact comments for the specified devices are displayed from the left end,
provided they are set with alphanumeric characters. However, only comment 1 is
displayed.
• Up to 20 characters can be displayed for a comment. The 21st and following
characters are not displayed.
• If a numeric value and a comment overlap, the numeric value has priority to be
displayed.
• If a device has no contact comment, the device number is displayed.
• If a contact comment is changed and transferred to the KV unit, disconnect the
communication cable of the KV-D20 once and connect it again. This updates the
display.
Note 1: To enter a space to the left of a contact comment, input "~" (swung dash) at
the left end of the comment with the LADDER BUILDER for KV. Spaces without "~"
at the left end will be ignored. When "~" is used in the middle of a contact comment,
it is displayed as "
➞".
Note 2: Contact comments can be displayed only when the LADDER BUILDER for
KV Ver. 1.5 or later is used and the compression transfer of contact comments is not
selected.
Note 3: Even the contact comments for ladder programs created with LADDER
BUILDER for KV Ver. 1.0x or KV-IncrediWare (DOS) can be displayed on the KV-
D20 after being transferred to the KV unit with the LADDER BUILDER for KV Ver.
1.5 or later.
Note 4: "Not transfer" is initially set as the contact comment transfer setting of the
LADDER BUILDER for KV Ver. 1.5 or later. To display contact comments on the KV-
D20, enable the contact comment transfer setting with the LADDER BUILDER for
KV Ver. 1.5 or later.
