Create the project file (*.blu) following the steps below.
The [Import Compound Objects] dialog box appears when you launch the screen editing software for the very first time. If required, import compound objects at this time. From subsequent launches, this dialog box will not automatically appear. Instead, use the Compound Object Explorer to import compound objects.
Configure the display unit and external device.
For information about system settings, refer to the following.
Connecting Targets and Devices
Create variables for storing various data values. Assign created variables to external device addresses, switches, lamps, alarms, or other objects.
For information about variables, refer to the following.
Steps to Design (Variables, Array, Structure)
Draw screens that display on the display unit, and assign scripts to each function.
Steps to Design (Screen/Navigation/Content)
To change the display unit settings such as IP address, clock and screen brightness, a Hardware Configuration screen is required.
Create this screen by using Hardware Configuration objects.
Before transferring the project file, you can check project operations on a computer without actually connecting to external devices.
What is Simulation?
By transferring a project file to the display unit, the display unit displays the screen and runs communication with external devices.
For information about the transfer process, refer to the following.
Transferred project files are stored in the display unit's internal memory (application memory).
