For the trigger bit's ON/OFF, leave an interval longer than the communication cycle time*1 or display scan time*2, whichever is longer.
After you turn ON the Trigger Bit Address, if a screen change occurs before the drawing or erasing is complete, the Trigger Bit Address does not turn OFF.
The only graphic data that can be stored is Bin data. BCD data cannot be used.
If the graphical data to be stored is outside the range, it will default to zero.
When you set the display unit's orientation to [Portrait] and use the [Draw Action] of the trigger action, the data of the coordinate stored in [Mode] is different from the coordinate point specified in the [Call Position of Screen to Clear].
Please match the coordinates set to the [Call Position of Screen to Clear] with the coordinate point of the display unit.
Display units except GP-4100 Series: Bottom-left of the screen (0,0)
GP-4100 Series: Top-right of the screen (0,0)

*1 The Communication Cycle Time is the time it takes from the point the display unit requests data until the display unit receives data from the device. It is stored in internal device LS2037 in Bin format. The unit is 10 milliseconds. There is an error of +/-10 milliseconds.
When using multiple devices/PLCs, you can verify the communication cycle time of each device/PLC, with internal device addresses displayed in the [System Settings] - [Peripheral List] page's [List of Device/PLC Management Addresses].

*2 Display Scan Time is the time required to process one screen. It is stored in internal device LS2036 in Bin format. The unit is in milliseconds. There is an error of +/-10 milliseconds.
