13 disc disc RESET RESET 1.1 Functions 1.1 Functions SOFT MONITOUCH TELLUS SOFT MONITOUCH TELLUS has three main functions. Use the functions that best suit your needs. Emulation Mode (page 2-1) Screen data created by V-SFT (display configuration software for the MONITOUCH V series) can be debugged on the computer.* V series and PLC are not required for debugging. * Some functions are inoperable during this operation. For details, see Emulation Mode Restrictions (page 2-2). Debugging can be accomplished using the computer by itself. Simulator Not required TELLUS By combining with a simulator, you can simulate operation between the PLC and V series.* * Memory card memory and temperature control memory are not supported by the simulator. Memory therefore cannot be monitored or modified by the simulator. The simulator is however able to simulate memory card memory by screen display operation. The simulator is installed together with TELLUS. M100 ON! ON M100 M200 Simulator TELLUS The screen display can be printed out by clicking the [Print] button on the toolbar and can be switched by simply clicking the [Next Screen/Previous Screen] button. The screen image of the V series display is pasted on the clipboard to facilitate document creation. 1-1

14 RESET disc RESET 1. Overview HMI Mode (page 2-15) Directly connecting the computer to PLC or temperature controller realizes HMI function equivalent of the MONITOUCH V series.* Because it is a program-less connection, electrical engineers do not have to create application programs using high-threshold program languages such as VB and VC. * Some functions are inoperable during this operation. For details, see HMI Mode Restrictions (page 2-16). TELLUS Existing V series screen data (extension.v7/.v6 ) can be used without modification, and can easily be replaced from V series. Linked with Excel, DDE format facilitates collections and editing of data. Connecting with a memory card editor (M-CARD SFT) enables you to read memory card data. Operation can be simulated when creating displays if a PLC is not available at that time.* * Memory card memory and temperature control memory are not supported by the simulator. Memory therefore cannot be monitored or modified by the simulator. The simulator is however able to simulate memory card memory by screen display operation. disc Simulator Using the simulator, you can debug your data using the computer by itself. Not required TELLUS The screen display can be printed out by clicking the [Print] button on the toolbar and can be switched by simply clicking the [Next Screen/Previous Screen] button.

53 2. SOFT MONITOUCH TELLUS Notes In the HMI mode, items originally displayed on the V series are displayed on the computer. You should therefore pay attention to the following: Animation is depicted behind overlap displays. When a macro command HDCOPY/HDCOPY2 is executed, data is saved as a BMP file instead of a JPEG file. When writing into a CF card or an SRAM area (built-in SRAM, V7EM-S, V706EM-S, V6EM/RS, or V6EM/RSi) is executed, data is saved in the folder specified for [Generate folder at:] in the [Option] dialog selected from the [File] menu. For information on the folder configuration, see Folder Configuration (page 2-30). System memory $s1000 (remaining sound replay seconds) is not saved. The following error number is added to system memory $s1006 ( error information). 50: SMTP transmission error The computer calendar function is used. When the macro command SET_CLND is executed, the computer calendar data is read and written to the PLC. However, the computer calendar is not corrected using this macro command. A change to the computer time through [Date/Time] in the [Control Panel] folder is reflected in the TELLUS calendar. 3D parts display and XOR display of graphic relay in the graphic mode differ from the actual image. Since the computer produces characters in Windows fonts, their image may not be the same as that displayed on the V series.
