(1) Component name (Up to 16 characters)
Enter a component name.
For characters that can be used for component names, refer to the following:
Appendix 2.2 Characters that can be used for item names, component names,
variable names, etc. in the product
(2) CPU name
Select one from a list of the access target CPU names set in [Access target CPU
settings].
If [High-speed sampling] is selected, the choice is fixed to the first item in [Access
target CPU settings] (Control CPU).
(3) Head device
(a) Set a device type and an actual device number.
(b) Indexing, digit specification, and word device specification by bit specification are
not allowed.
(c) For accessible devices, refer to the following:
Section 3.2 Accessible Devices and Ranges
(d) When [block] is selected in [Array setting], different kinds of devices cannot be
set.
(e) Set device points as follows:(The number of the set points can be checked on the
status bar of [Device tag settings].)
• 96 points when [High-speed sampling] is selected.
• 40000 points when [Array setting] is set.
(4) Data type
Select the data type of sampling data (device data).
*1 When [Data type] is [String], device values are processed as follows:
• When the device value neither an ASCII code nor shifted JIS code
It is replaced with "." (period: 2Eh).
MES interface module cannot access Unicode character data in RCPU.
• When the device value is model-dependent characters
The character code may be converted during action execution.
Appendix 2.2 Characters that can be used for item names, component names, variable
names, etc. in the product
• When the device value is a termination character (NULL code: 00h)
The character data following it are ignored. (The character string is regarded as terminated.)
