About XP-Builder 1-1 1. About XP-Builder XP-Builder is software that allows you to create and manage projects for machine control devices. You can use XP-Builder to create projects for the XGT Panel. XP-Builder includes multiple features that allow you to design and edit projects conveniently, such as: Customizable toolbars and hotkeys Customizable tool, project, and editing panes Functions to import and export common data Tabs for viewing multiple screens easily Previews of project screens Customizable image and object libraries Scripts and advanced functions, such as alarms, logs, schedules, and recipes Support for multiple languages 1.1 Overview This section describes the basic concept of using XP-Builder to create interfaces for machine control devices and the types of hardware that XP-Builder supports. XP-Builder Concept XP-Builder is the starting point for creating human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for industrial applications. With XP-Builder, you can design user-friendly interfaces for XGT Panels that allow end users to control machine functions through configurable controllers, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), inverters, or servos. With the XGT Panel, you can monitor information from each controller via a graphical user interface (GUI). In addition, simple control is possible with switch and writing objects. The XGT Panel supports additional programmable functions, such as scripts, loggings, recipes, and alarms, which allow you to fully customize the control environment. As illustrated by the graphic that follows, the interface running on an XGT Panel provides input controls on the screen in the form of GUI objects that are linked to controller routines, such as a ladder program, or other parameters. The controller parameters dictate the operation of connected machinery and may also provide feedback to the XGT Panel. 1. About XP-Builder 1-2 Supported Hardware Types XP-Builder supports XP, iXP, eXP and IPC series XGT Panels and a wide range of controllers. Projects can only be transferred from XP-Builder to XGT Panel.

XP-Builder offersmultiple ways to check the integrity of your data, including an interface simulator, data check and devicemap functions, and a script cross-reference that can help you debug your program.Simulating an InterfaceThe simulator provided in XP-Builder allows you to verify the functionality and appearance of yourinterface before you transfer it to an XGT Panel. By testing your project, you can correct errors and verifysystem operations and responses in advance.To run the simulator:1 Click [Tool] ► [Simulation].Note• Except for the menu and title, the simulation window will use the same resolution aswhen it is exported to an XGT Panel.• Only one simulator can be run at a time. If you are running the simulator, you cannotexecute another one.• The size of simulator window may vary according to the set XGT Panel size.• Click and move the Simulation window borders to control screen size. Note that thedisplay resolution remains the same and may make margins.2. Project Development2-133• The OPC UA Client and OMRON NX/NJ Ethernet/IP do not support simulators.2 Verify operations by clicking or selecting objects and activating functions in the interface. As shownin the following example, you can virtually input the value and review the operation via thesimulation.

Project Development2-1702.8 Managing a ProjectLearn about project management functions, including transferring data to XGT Panels or removablememory devices, and receiving projects from HMI.Transferring to an XGT PanelThe GUI you design in XP-Builder must be transferred to an XGT Panel. You can transfer the interface byusing one of two methods: full transfer or modification transfer. By default, XP-Builder determineswhether or not a previous version of the project exists on the XGT Panel and then transfers either theentire project or only modified parts of the project accordingly. However, you can force XP-Builder totransfer the full project, if desired.Before transferring a project, you must select a connection method, as described in the followingsections. There are three connection methods available: RS232C, USB, and Ethernet. The connectionmethods available will vary based on the XGT Panel model you are using.To transfer a project:1 Click [Communication] ► [Send] or select the download icon ( ) from the toolbar.2. Project Development2-1712 Set the following options, as necessary.Function DescriptionDownload to XGT Panel Select this option to transfer a project to an XGTPanel. This is the default option. Click [Settings] tochange the communication settings.Download Project AllForcedlyBy default, XP-Builder determines if a previousversion of the project exists on the panel anddetermines whether or not to transfer the full projector only to update data. However, you can select thisoption to force XP-Builder to transfer the entireproject.Save to RemovableDeviceSelect this option to transfer a project to aremovable memory device that is connected to yourcomputer. For more details, refer to <2.8.2Transferring to a removable Device>.This feature is not supported by the IPC series.File Location Displays the file path for a file that is saved in anexternal storage device. A folder type and acompressed file type can be selected. If the foldertype is selected, multiple files to be downloaded tothe input folder are generated. If a compressed filetype is selected, multiple files are compressed andstored in a file that has a file name you specified. Forfile management purposes, the compressed file typeis more convenient but it may take longer to 2. Project Development2-172Function Descriptioncompress the files. For example, files to bedownloaded in the folder are saved to the G:XP_ProjectAAA folder. If a compressed file is used,files to be downloaded are saved as AAA.xpd file inthe G: XP_Project folder.Update XP-RuntimeForcedlyBy default, XP-Builder determines whether or not theruntime files need to be updated on the XGT Panel.However, you can select this option to force XPBuilder to update the runtime files on the panel.This feature is not supported by the IPC series. Forthe IPC series, you must run a setup file manually toupdate XP-Runtime.Delete All MonitoringDataSelect this option to delete alarms, logging, recipedata, and operation logs stored in the NVRAM of theXGT Panel.Include Upload ProjectFileSelect this option to transfer a compressed projectfile to the XGT Panel in addition to the normalproject files. This option is recommended when youdo not have a project file on your computer andwant to transfer it from the XGP Panel onto yourcomputer. You can use a removable storage device todownload a compressed project file.Download Click to transfer the data to the XGT Panel.3 If necessary, click [Settings] to view or change the connection settings.Function DescriptionConnect Type Set the connection type between your computer andthe XGT Panel.Details You can specify the detailed connection settings forEthernet, RS-232C, and USB connections.For the RS-232 connection, set the serial port andbaud rate.2. Project Development2-173Function DescriptionFor an Ethernet connection, set the IP address, portnumber, and network adapter.• In Windows XP, a virtual IP address is automaticallycreated for an Ethernet connection.• In Windows 7 or Windows 8, you must set the IPaddress manually for an Ethernet connection.For a USB connection, set the XGT Panel type.2. Project Development2-174Function DescriptionScan XGT Panel Click to scan for XGT Panels connected via Ethernet.4 Verify that your computer and the XGT Panel are both properly connected via your chosenconnection method, and then click [Download]Note• Viewing Available Memory before Sending a ProjectView the available memory before sending the project file to ensure the file can be transferredsuccessfully. You can compare Flash and USB/CF/SD memory capacities to the size of the project 2. Project Development2-175file before transferring it, as shown below.Memory type Case DescriptionFlash memory Downloading thewhole projectCompare the project file size to the totalmemory available, because the memory willbe erased prior to downloading the project.Downloading therevised parts onlyCompare the project file size to the availablememory.USB/CF/SDmemoryCompare the project file size to the available memory of an externaldevice.• Downloading the Entire ProjectYou can download the entire project only when the entire memory on the external device is largerthan or same as the size of the project file.• Downloading Only the Revised Parts of a Project• You can download a revised part of a project only when the size of the available memory on theexternal device is larger or same as the size of the project file.- If you attempt to transfer a project file when there is insufficient memory, the following pop-upwindow will appear. It shows the total memory capacity and the size of the project file.- If the available memory is insufficient to download only the revised part, download the entireproject.Note• To set the password, in XP-Builder, click [Communication] ► [XGT Panel Information] ► [Password].When you set the password for the first time, enter the new password again to confirm it. Yourpassword can contain up to 10 characters in length.2. Project Development2-176• XP-Builder transfers only the updated portion of a project, except in the following cases:- You are transferring the project to the panel for the first time.- You have changed the project properties, which can affect data throughout the entire project.- The project ID has been deleted on the panel due to a communication error. Therefore, theproject IDs cannot be compared between your computer and the panel.• If the transfer is unsuccessful, it may be due to different runtime versions between XP-Builder andthe XGT Panel. If the runtime version of the XP-Builder is later than that of the panel, update theruntime file on the panel to match XP-Builder and try the transfer again.Using a Serial (RS-232C) ConnectionA serial connection provides a 1:1 communication method between the control device and a computer. A6-pin cable is required to make a serial connection, but this cable is not provided with the XGT Panel.To use a serial connection:1 Connect the serial cable to the TOOL port on the XGT Panel and RS-232C port on a computer.2 On the XGT Panel, close any open programs.3 Tap and hold the screen to open the menu.4 Tap [Settings] ► [PC Conn Setting].5 In RS232 Baud Rate, select a baud rate.NoteOnly XP series panels support connections via RS232 ports. iXP/iXP2/IPC series panels do notsupport it.6 In XP-Builder, select [Communication] ► [Send] ► [Settings] ► [RS232C].2. Project Development2-1777 Select the same baud rate that you set on the XGT Panel. If the transfer rates do not match, thetransfer will fail.8 Select the serial port connected to the XGT Panel. The COM port number must be the same as theone used by your computer for the RS-232C connection. To set the COM port number on yourcomputer, open the Control Panel, locate the Device Manager, and modify the Ports’ (COM&LPT)settings.Using an Ethernet ConnectionAn Ethernet connection is typically much faster than a serial connection; so using an Ethernet connectionis highly recommended.To use an Ethernet connection:1 Connect a computer and an XGT Panel to a network via Ethernet cables. You can also use a crosscable connection if a network is unavailable. The IP addresses of the XGT Panel and the connectedcomputer must be in the same Subnet mask.2 On the XGT Panel, close any open programs.2. Project Development2-1783 Tap and hold the screen to open the menu.4 Tap [Settings]► [Ethernet Setting].5 Set the Ethernet IP, Gateway, and Subnet mask.6 Tap [Go to Main Menu].7 In XP-Builder, click [Communication] ► [Send] ► [Settings] ► [Ethernet].8 Set the IP address and port number to match the ones that are set in the panel.Note• You can use the automatic search function in XP-Builder (Scan XGT Panel) to locate and connectXGT Panels on a network. The feature uses the UDP protocol to retrieve information about the XGTPanel and returns it via broadcast messages to a default address (255.255.255.255). This search isperformed only on the local network. If a gateway exists between the search computer and the XGTPanel, the message may be blocked.• By default, the last address used will remain in the settings until you replace it manually or update itby performing a scan for connected XGT Panels.• If you are transferring information to multiple XGT Panels, the data will be transferred in order by IPaddress. When you view IP addresses as shown in the following example, they appear in ascendingorder.• The XGT series uses port 2143, and the IPC series uses port 2144. When downloading a project, portsetting is not required because the port number is automatically selected based on the selectedpanel specifications.2. Project Development2-179Using a USB Connection (XP models)To use a USB connection, you must use an XPO-USBC cable, manufactured by LS ELECTRIC. The USBcable is not provided with the XGT Panel, so you must purchase one separately.

Project Development2-1942.9 Configuring Advanced Communication SettingsXP-Builder supports several communication types to allow for flexible controller and panel configurations.This section describes the communication types available.Multiple controllers can be monitored from a single XGT Panel. The XP series panels support up to 4connection numbers (0-3) and the iXP/IPC series panels support up to 16 connection numbers (0-15) fordifferent types of controllers, when connected to multiple protocols (RS232C, RS422/485, and Ethernet).Using 1: N Communication with Multiple ProtocolsWhen setting up 1: N communication with multiple protocols, you can connect various types ofcontrollers via the different protocols. The RS485/RS422 supports multi-drop connection, which allowsyou to connect one XGT Panel to multiple controllers. The Ethernet connection also allows connection ofmultiple controllers.You can connect up to 4 different controllers for XP/eXP series panels or up to 16 different controllers foreXP/iXP/IPC/iXP2 series panels. A multi-channel setup of 1: N communication is illustrated by thefollowing image (XP Series).Note• When you connect controllers via RS232C only, you can connect only one controller from eachseries.• When you connect controllers via Ethernet only, you can connect 4 XP series controllers, 4 eXPcontrollers, and 16 eXP/iXP/IPC/iXP2 series controllers.2. Project Development2-195To use 1: N communication:1 In XP-Builder, click [Common] ► [Project Property Setting] ►[XGT Panel Settings] ►[Add Controller].2 Select the PLC and manufacturer from the drop-down list. If necessary, click [Detail Settings] andchange the properties.NoteTo delete a controller, select it from the list and click [Delete Controller].Using 1: N Communication with RS485/RS422When setting up 1: N communication with RS485, you can connect a large number of controllers, as longas they are all the same type and manufacturer of controller. With a RS485 connection, you can also setstation numbers for devices in the advanced communication settings, so that the same device can bereferenced by multiple controllers with unique station IDs. A multi-drop setup of 1: N communicationwith RS485 is illustrated by the following image.2. Project Development2-196To use 1: N communication:1 In XP-Builder, click [Common] ► [Project Property Setting] ►[XGT Panel Settings].2 In the connection properties, select RS485.3 In the object settings, click to set the properties.4 Check the box next to Custom setting.5 Set the station number.2. Project Development2-197Using N: 1 CommunicationThis is a useful way to make several XGT Panels to communicate with one PLC. N: 1 communication isavailable only with the RS-485 communication protocol and uses a token ring bus to regulatecommunication. Only one XGT Panel can hold the token at a time and the token is passed after a definedholding time. The XGT Panel that you set to station “0” is the starting point for communication. After thetoken is released, it is delivered to station “1” and so on.To use N: 1 communication, set the communication parameters:1 In XP-Builder, click [Common] ► [Project Property Setting] ► [XGT Panel Settings].2 In the Connection Property area, set [Protocol] to RS485.3 Click [N: 1 Settings].4 Click the checkbox next to Use N: 1 Communication and input the following parameters: 2. Project Development2-198N: 1 Settings DescriptionUse N: 1CommunicationSelect whether or not to use N: 1 communication.N: 1 Station Number Select a station number (0-15) for the HMI. The first station mustbe set to “0.” Station numbers must be continuous, orcommunication will fail. Duplicated station numbers are notallowed.Number of XGT Panel Select the total number of XGT panels you are using (up to 16).Max. Token HoldingTimeSelect the maximum time that each panel can hold the token (upto 60 seconds). The token is automatically released when themaximum time is reached.Note• The total number of XGT Panels you specify must match the total number of stationsexactly.• The N: 1 Settings option appears when you select a controller that supports N: 1communication.• The more XGT panels you connect, the slower the communication speed will be.• All XGT Panels participating in N: 1 communication should have the same controllersettings and parameter settings (except for station numbers).• When using N: 1 communication, the Program Monitor function is not supported andthe controller monitor protocol cannot be used, which results in decreasedcommunication speed.• N: 1 communication does not function in the simulator.The following drivers support N: 1 communication.Manufacturer DriverLS LS: XGK(LINK)LS: XGI/XGR/XEC(LINK)LS: XGB(LINK)LS: GM(LINK)LS: MASTER-K(80, 120, 200, 300, 1000)S(LINK)2.

To enhance thecommunication speed on a temporary basis, you can set an XGT Panel to hold the token for a specifiedtime before it passes the token to the next XGT panel.To set the Token Hold function:1 Create a projects for N:1 communication.2 Configure the communication setting for N:1 connection.3 Add a switch on a base screen.4 Assign the “_N1_Token_Hold” tag to the switch’s device.2. Project Development2-2005 Download the project to an XGT Panel. You can press the switch to perform a token hold and enhance the connection speed.Note• You can enable the token hold using a script.• Token Hold takes effect after the XGT Panel obtains the token.• Token Hold can be used on a temporary basis only.N:1 System DevicesThe following table lists system devices for use with N:1 communication.Tag Name Device Type Description_N1_Token HS0070.0 BIT When a token is held by XGT Panels, thissystem device is either On or OFF.

Reference4-12Text TablesText tables allow you to store and manage text for reuse, translation, and simplified management. Theadvantage of using text tables is that you can register text strings and then use them throughout theproject. For example, you can fetch text from a text table to use as an object caption and format the color,size, and other font properties. You can also create multilingual interfaces by adding language columnsto the text table and registering translations for the text strings.The following are examples of text table applications for bit and word messages based on the deviceconditions.4. Reference4-13To create a text table:1 In the Project pane, right-click [Text Table].2 Click [Insert].3 Enter text and set properties, such as font color and typeface.Note• Window title: When a string for a window title is taken from a text table, text propertiesof the text string in the table, such as font size, colors, and other text styles (italic,underlined, bold, etc.), are ignored. The selected string is displayed in the title section ofthe window in white 15 px characters.• Sorting the text table: You can double-click the title column in the table (except for thecolor column) to sort the list in ascending or descending order. When you enter text in a text table, the text appears in the language currently set in the projectproperties.To specify languages in a text table:1 In the Project pane, double-click a text table to open it.2 Right-click anywhere in the text table and click [Property].4. Reference4-143 Click languages from the language list and then click [OK].

The text table will appear inthe Project pane. You can double-click the name of the text table in the Project pane to ensure that the captionshave been listed on the text table.Note• Up to 10,001 strings can be registered to the text table. To add more than 10,001 entries, you mustcreate a new text table.• A total of 255 string pages can be created in the Text table, and IDs and names can be changeddirectly on the tree. The ID is from 1 to 65534 (1 to 255 for economic type).4. Reference4-18• If the following message appears when you delete the text table page from the tree or change theID, it means that the table is being used in the project. In this case, you need to first find out theelements used for deletion by Find/Replace All, or change them to a text table with a different ID.4. Reference4-19LoggingYou can use up to 32 logs to record and save device values to a file when specified conditions are met.Logging can be used to trace device trends. You can view the logs in the Logging Viewer or LoggingTrend Graph object. Refer to <4.3.11 Logging Viewer Object> for detailed information.Type DescriptionPeriodical Logging(Time)Logging starts on a specified schedule and is repeated periodically, asspecified in the scheduler. The log can repeat up to 100 times. When therepetition timer reaches the specified limit, the device values are saved inthe file.The example below shows three logging data in 10-minute intervals.Periodical Logging (BitDevice)When the logging device turns on, logging begins.You can set the logging intervals and repetition numbers.Conditional Logging (BitDevice)Logging begins when the logging device is changed, or when it is turnedon or off. Logging does not repeat, unless the device is changed, or it isturned on or off again.4. Reference4-20To create a log:1 In the Project pane, double-click [Logging].

If you reduce the block number, the data set with biggestblock number is deleted first.NoteThe writing and reading functions cannot be executed simultaneously. When two devicesmeet the same condition simultaneously, writing will be performed first.a b4. Reference4-38Updating and Maintaining Default Recipe DataRecipe data files are stored in the XGT Panel’s non-volatile memory or on an external storage device. Themost recently saved data is retained even when the power is turned off. When the power is turned onagain and device monitoring begins, the last stored data is used for subsequent read and writeoperations.If the recipe data is set to be saved on an external storage device and not in SRAM, the recipe data isrecorded in a file format on the storage device when monitoring begins. The file content is updatedwhen the recipe data read operation is performed. Changes are retained as long as the file remains onthe storage device, and the file is generated again when it is deleted or another storage unit is mounted.In this situation, the previously updated data is not retained and is reset to the recipe data that is initiallyset in XP-Builder.The recipe data is not deleted when there is a partial download or when the download is only of thechanges in the project. However, the stored recipe data is deleted in all downloads if the [Delete allmonitoring data] option is selected.Backup and Restoration of Default Recipe DataThe default recipe data can be backed up in the CSV file format.

The table below describes the constants used by scriptsin XP-Builder.Constant ExamplesDecimal Numbers 124, -34, 0, 2334454Real Numbers 0.123, 10.45E12, 0.0Hexadecimal Numbers 0x45FA, 0xfffBinary Numbers true, falseCharacters “a”, “1”, “0”, “%”Strings “123abc”Script functions can express and return various data types. The table below describes the data types usedby scripts in XP-Builder.Type Description Data range ExampleBoolean(1 bit)• Expresses either “true or false”• The abbreviation “bool” comesfirst, followed by the variablename.• Initializes as “true” or “false”0 to 1 bool bState = true;Character(8 bit)• Expresses a character• To initialize a variable, place“=” after the variable nameand specify a value.-127 to 127 char cValue =-10 ;Short(16 bit)• This data type uses lessmemory than an integer.• To initialize a variable, place“=” after the variable nameand specify a value.-32768 to 32767 short nValue = -10 ;4. Reference4-119Type Description Data range ExampleInteger(32 bit)• A signed integer can be apositive number, a negativenumber, or 0.• To declare multiple variables,place “int” first, followed bythe variables separated bycommas.• To initialize a variable, place“=” after the variable nameand specify a value.-2147483648 to2147483647Int nValue = -100 ;UnsignedShort(16 bit)To initialize a variable, place “=”after the variable name andspecify a value.0 to 65535 unsigned shortnValue = 10 ;UnsignedInteger(32 bit)• This data type is used for apositive number including 0.• To initialize a variable, place“=” after the variable nameand specify a value.0 to 4294967295 unsigned int nValue =100 ;4. Reference4-120Type Description Data range ExampleFloat(32 bit)To initialize a variable, place “=”after the variable name andspecify a value.1.175494351 E – 38to3.402823466 E + 38float fValue = 10.01 ;NoteA bit is the basic unit of computer memory. It is represented as either a 0 or 1. The two values can alsobe interpreted as activation states (On/Off).You can declare an array variable the same way as other variables. When initializing variables after anarray declaration, the variables should be placed in brace brackets. You can also place a string inquotation marks for the character type. If you do not initialize an array variable, the variable may have avalue other than 0. It is advised to initialize an array variable before use.The table below shows examples of the data types used by scripts in XP-Builder.Type Example Initialization ExamplesBoolean bool bState[3]; bool bState[3] = {true, false, true}bool bState[3] = {1, 0, 1};Short short nValue[3]; short nValue[3] = {1, 2, 3};Character char cValue[3]; char cValue[3] = {‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’}; orchar cValue[5] = “1234”Integer int nValue[4]; int nValue[4] = {-100, -200, 100, 200};UnsignedShortunsigned shortnValue[3];unsigned short nValue[3] = {0, 100, 200};UnsignedIntegerunsigned int nValue[5]; unsigned int nValue[5] = {10, 11, 12, 13, 15};4. Reference4-121Type Example Initialization ExamplesFloat float fValue[2]; float fValue[2] = {10.0, 20.0}; orfloat fValue[2] = {1.175494351e-38 , -1.175494351e-38};Note• If you initialize a larger number than the number of the declared array, an error will occur:int nValue[3] = {1, 2, 3, 4};• If you initialize a smaller number than the number of the declared array, some variables will not beinitialized:In case of bool bValue[2] = {true}; , bValue[0] is true but bValue[1] may be either true or false.• When you initialize an array variable of the character type with quotation marks, you can initializeone smaller number than the number of the declared array. That is because a string variable shouldhave a null value at the end to be used for a string:char cValue[5] = “1234”;• When you initialize an array variable of the character type with quotation marks, you can initialize itwith Latin characters, numbers, or special characters. You cannot use Korean characters or otherlanguages.Understanding Temporary Variables in a ScriptStandard variables are used as temporary variables. Temporary variables may be defined and used forscript operation in objects.While an operation with a direct (physical) address is reflected and written to the PLC’s memory as soonas the operation is run, changes made to the temporary variables are written to the PLC’s memory onlyafter the script is completely run.Only objects with the Input function can write temporary variable values to a direct address (PLCmemory).In the example below, a switch object is assigned with the direct address “%mw10”, and the followingscripts are run when the switch is pressed. The current value saved at “%mw10” is 100. Script with the direct address “%mw10”:------------------------------------------------------ Script runsIf (@[w:%mw10] == 100){@[w:%mw10]= 20; /* true*/}Else{@[w:%mw10]= 40; }@[w:%mw10] = @[w:%mw10]+1; /*%mw10 = 21 */------------------------------------------------------ Script endsResulting %mw10 value = 214. Reference4-122 Script with the direct address “%mw10” and a temporary variable $S:------------------------------------------------------ Script runs/* $S is initialized to 100 */If ($S == 100){@[w:%mw10]= 20; /* true*/}Else{@[w:%mw10]= 40;}$S = $S+1; /* $S = 101, @[w:%mw10] = 20 *//* $S value will be written to @[w:%mw10] when the script ends*/------------------------------------------------------ Script endsResulting “%mw10” value = 101Each data type has a corresponding temporary variable type. The table below shows the standardvariable types available.Variable Type Example Value RangeBoolean $X 0 to 1Short $S -32768 to 32767Integer $L -2147483648 to 2147483647Unsigned Short $W 0 to 655354.

Reference4-135Understanding Script Error HandlingIf an error occurs during a script execution, statements after the error are skipped without processing.Then, the processing is resumed after an ERROR control statement is encountered, as shown in thescreenshot below.Statements within the ERROR control statement are executed only when an error occurs during the scriptexecution.Script errors and descriptions are displayed in the Output tab at the bottom of the XP-Builder screen.Understanding the Script Watchdog FunctionThe Watchdog function exists to avoid infinite loops or prevent scripts that are too long from hanging upprocesses. When a script exceeds the default time allotted (5 seconds), the Watchdog function isactivated automatically and forces the script to end.You can adjust the script watchdog time in the Project Property settings window.Script execution takes longer than any other action, so use conditional statements with care. Pay specialattention to statements for which the run time is hard to predict, such as for, while, and do-whilestatements.ExecutedExecutedDivided by 0 ERRORNot executedScript execution resumes here.Executed4.

Reference4-187Word SwitchWord switch executes the script, enters a fixed value, and adds or reduces the value. This sectiondescribes available settings for word switch objects. Basic: The Basic settings for word switch objects include the following.- Device: Enter a device or tag address directly into the input field or click the keypad icon to theright to specify a device or tag address. When you click the keypad icon to open the Devicewindow, you can also specify network settings, if necessary.- Size: Set the data size of the device (16-bit upper byte, 16-bit lower byte, 16 bit, or 32 bit).- Type: Set the data form of the device (signed decimal, unsigned decimal, or float).- Action Type: Set the type of the action to perform.Set Write the specified value in the device.Add Add the specified value to the device value.Sub Subtract the specified value from the device value.Script Execute a script.Digit Add Increase the bit value of a specific location in a word device. The valueis added to the current value with as many operands as you specify,but the bit value of the location increases only by the value specifiedhere.0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 3rd digit0 0 0 0 1 01 0 0For example, if the device value is as above and the digit is 3, thedevice value will change as shown above when you operate the wordswitch on the XGT Panel.4. Reference4-188Digit Sub Decrease the bit value of a specific location in a word device. Thevalue is subtracted from the current value with as many operands asyou specify, but the bit value of the location decreases only by thevalue specified here.ContinuousAdd /ContinuousSubThis option is available for only [Add], [Sub], [Digit Add], and [DigitSub] operations. When the switch is pressed for more than 1 second,the value increases or decreases by the increment or decrementsettings made in [Constant Value]-[Value] in 0.5 second intervals. If thedevice value exceeds its value range (see the Note below), it isexpressed as a carried number. For example, if it is a 16 bit signeddecimal, subtracting 1 from -32768 makes 32767.- Operand: Set the value to write to the device. The operand can be set as one of the following types.Constant Set a fixed value to use as an operand in the expression.Indirect Set to us the device value as an operand in the expression.Script No. Specify a script when performing actions other than adding,subtracting, writing a specific device value, or writing a fixed value.Data Type Set the data type to be increased or decreased. When you select BCD asthe data type, if the value returned by the specified device exceeds thenumeric range of BCD data (0-9), the word switch will not execute.Digit Set the number of digit to increase or decrease. For 16 bit devices, youcan set it from 1-4. For 32-bit devices, you can set it from 1-8.If the operand is saved as a script, the final value will be applied to the device after completing thecalculation. The description below shows how it works.1. Read the value from the device specified in the word switch and save the valueto the temporary variable referring to the device.2. Operate the script on the read value.3. Apply the value saved on the temporary variable after operating the script.Read the value from the device.Operate the script using theentered value.Apply the script result to thedevice.4. Reference4-189- From the flow chart above, the script result means “the value of the temporary variable whenthe script ends.” If the device value changes during operating the script, it will not affect thescript.- If you change the device value using a direct variable while the script is in operation, thechange will not remain because the value of the temporary variable after the script ends willbe written to the device. If you use the device within a script, a message such as “2012: Thestandard device exists in the specified ‘SCRIPT.’ An unexpected result might occur.” will bedisplayed.NoteIf you set a fixed constant operand, the range of the constant varies based on the sizeand type of the device, as described in the following table.Device Size Device Type Minimum Maximum16-bit upperbyte Signed decimal -128 12716-bit upperbyteUnsigned decimal,binary, hexadecimal,octal0 25516-bit lower byte Signed decimal -128 12716-bit lower byteUnsigned decimal,binary, hexadecimal,octal0 25516 bitSigned decimal -32,768 32,767Unsigned decimal 0 65,535BCD 0 9,99932 bitSigned decimal -2147,483,648 2,147,483,647Unsigned decimal 0 4,294,967,295BCD 0 99999999- Description: Enter a description for the object.4.

Reference4-386Note• The logging scatter graph is to mainly show how data are distributed and once dataare displayed on the screen, they will not be deleted. The logging type linked tologging scatter graph is set as circular buffer, the data displayed at the currentscreen will be removed someday with continuous logging process. In this case, thedots and lines corresponding to the deleted data will not be deleted.• The dots and lines distributed on the screen are initialized when the logging area isdeleted. That is, you can use the logging area deleting device to initialize the scatterscreen.• If you use multiple logging groups by connecting them, a short delay may occur indisplaying data of each group. Each logging group operates independently with itsown execution condition, monitoring device, and monitoring area. Therefore, a timedifference occurs between collected data when executing even if executionconditions of multiple logging groups are met at the same time. Also, a short timedelay occurs between displayed data by each group on the data distribution.• The logging function communicates with priority on the device connected to theprevious object when acquiring data. Therefore, lots of logging groups and shorteracquisition cycles highly affect the overall communication speed. It is recommendedto use the logging function when necessary.

Reference4-4664.7 Managing External Storage Sources for BackupThis section describes how to control external storage sources when making file backups, such as logging,recipe, and screen image data. You can manage the backup data in this way: You can back up data, such as logging, recipe, and screen image data by saving them to a CF card, SDcard, or a USB storage source, according to the settings contained in XP-Builder. If there is insufficient memory in the external storage source, the data will be deleted and the backupprocess will stop. Settings that control this situation are adjusted in XP-Builder. You can monitor if the external backup storage source has been recognized or not. When you are backing up data make sure that external storage sources are only removed when thesafe removal switch is turned on and after the LED lamp turns off. Failure to observe these precautionsmay result in backup failure.Managing the File Path for Backup FilesThe file path shown below describes how backup files are routed:LoggingYYYY.MM.BeginDay.EndDay.0DD.BeginHour.EndHour.0 (Filled storage limit per folder)HH.BeginMinute.FFLhhmmss0.CSVRecipeRhhmmss0.CSV (each logging number has the same substructure)DD.BeginHour.EndHour.1 (Filled storage limit per folder, and share the same start andend time.)DD.BeginHour. FF (Storage limit not reached)1 (Logging number)2 (Sub directory_ same as 1)Screen ImageShhmmss0.BMP (each logging number has the same sub structure)The root directory of CF or USB storage4. Reference4-467File Path for Logging Backup The ‘Logging’ subdirectory will be created under the root directory of the USB/CF/SD storage source. Under the ‘Logging’ directory, a subdirectory will be created with a filename generated by the loggingnumber. Under the logging number directory, a subdirectory will be created with a filename by Year/Month.- The date directory will be included as a subdirectory.- Up to 500 date directories can be created.- The ‘Year/Month’ directory will not only contain year and month information, but will also recordthe date the directory was created.As an example, the name of a directory created in October 2010 with subdirectories created since15 October would be: 2010.10.15.FF. The FF at the end of the directory name represents that thereis more data space to store for October, 2010. (This means that the subdirectory currently holdsless than 500 date directories).- When there is a change of Month, the directory name will be changed and saved to the last date inthe month when information was logged.As an example, if the directory contains date directories created between October 15 and October30, and was created in October 2010, the directory name would be 2010.10.15.30.0 when themonth changes to November 2010.- If a month directory is carrying more than 500 date subdirectories before the month ends, thedirectory name will change to the last date in the sub directory.For example, if the number of date sub directories created from 1 October to 15 October 2010 isgreater than 500 the file name will be: 2010.10.01.15.0.- If the month ends or the total number of sub directories exceeds 500, or the directory has the samestarting/ending date name, then the last index number is added to identify the directories.As an example, if the directory created in October 2010 has 3 directories each holding 500 subdirectories, then the directory names would be:: 2010.10.01.01.0: 2010.10.01.01.1: 2010.10.01.01.2 Under the Year-/Month directory, a subdirectory with a date name will be created.- The date directory contains an hour subdirectory.- The date directory can hold up to 500 hour subdirectories.- The filenames of date directories contain date and hour information, for the first subdirectory thatwas created.- The rest of the directory creation procedure is identical to the Year/Month directory creationprocedure. Under the Date directory, a directory will be created that will store time information created.- The Hour directory will contain backup files.- Each Hour directory can hold up to 500 backup files.- The Hour directory contains hour and minute information for the first file that was created.- The rest of the directory creation procedure is identical to the Year/Month directory creationprocedure.4. Reference4-468 Logging backup files have hour, minute, and second information as their file names.- Backup files will be created in CSV format.- The names of the files will begin with ‘L’, representing 'logging', and the rest of the name willcontain hour, minute, and second index information.- If the backup files are created simultaneously in the same second, additional index information willbe added at the end of the file name.Path for Recipe Backup A directory named ‘Recipe’ will be created under the USB/CF/SD storage root directory. A subdirectory will be created with filenames identified by Year/Month. The rest of the directory structure is the same as the logging backup file structure. Recipe backup files have hour, minute, and second information as their file name.- Backup files will be created in CSV format.- The filenames will begin with ‘R’, representing 'recipe', and the rest of the name will contain hour,minute, and second index information.- If backup files are created simultaneously in the same second, additional index information will beadded at the end of file name.Path for Screen Backup A directory named ‘Screen Image’ will be created in the USB/CF/SD storage directory. A subdirectory named by Year/Month will be created in the Screen Image directory. The rest of the directory structure is the same as the logging backup file structure. Screen Image backup files use hour, minute, and second information as their file names.- The backup files will be created in bitmap format.- The filenames will begin with ‘S’ , representing 'Screen Image', and the rest of the name will containhour, minute, and second index information.- If backup files are created simultaneously in the same second, additional index information will beadded at the end of filename.4. Reference4-469Path for Memo Backup A directory named ‘Memo’ will be created in the USB/CF/SD storage directory. A subdirectory named by Year/Month will be created in the Memo directory. The rest of the directory structure is the same as the logging backup file structure. Memo back up files use hour, minute, and second information as their file name.- The backup files will be created in bitmap format.- The filenames will begin with ‘M’, representing 'Memo', and the rest of the name will contain hour,minute, and second index information.- If backup files are created simultaneously in the same second, additional index information will beadded at the end of the filename.Note• If time is set ahead of present time, normal operation is guaranteed. However, if time is set behindpresent time, normal operation is not guaranteed. If this situation arises, hour unit directories andall subdirectories should be deleted to resume normal operation. For example, if the date settinghad been changed from 10th December to 5th December, Year/Month directories including 5thDecember will have to be deleted to enable normal operation to resume.• Logging, Recipe, Screen Image, and Memo functions do not support project classification. Forinstance, if Project A has logging groups numbered 1,2 and 3, and each logging group creates a filebackup, 1,2,3 directory will be created and each file will be saved in a subdirectory. Then, if Project Bhas logging groups numbered 1 and 2, downloads the projects and creates file backups, these filescan be mixed with Project A’s backed up files. In this situation, the operator should classify ProjectA’s and Project B’s backup files by their download time.4. Reference4-470Managing Memory for BackupsIf there is insufficient memory in the external storage sources, data is deleted or backup processes stopdepending on XP-Builder’s configuration.Using XP-Builder to delete the oldest data for backup, click [Common] ▶ [Project Property Setting] ▶[Storage Settings], set the Backup Storage location for each file, and then click the checkbox next toDelete old file if disk full.When you back up the file by erasing the oldest files: If there is insufficient backup space, look for the earliest Year/Month subdirectories in Logging, Recipe,and Screen Image directories. When looking at Logging, look for subdirectories under the currentback up logging number. For example, if Logging number 2 is on the current back up list but does nothave data in the file’s directory, data in logging number 1 directory will remain untouched. Look for the earliest date directory in the earliest Year/Month directory. Look for the earliest hour directory in the earliest date directory. Delete the earliest backed up files from the earliest hour directory. If more data space is needed, repeat the above steps and check available data space. When deleting files, if the whole hour directory has been cleared, remove the hour directory. When deleting hour directories, if a whole date directory has been cleared, remove the date directory. When deleting date directories, if a whole month directory has been cleared, remove the monthdirectory.Note• If an unreadable directory or file (operator file or directory) is found, leave the directory or file andlocate normal backup files.• If the current directory contains only operator data, it will cause a backup failure. The XGT Panelcannot delete operator data, therefore it will stop any further action.4. Reference4-471When there is Insufficient Memory or Exceeds the Limit Storage properties are configured in XP-Builder, project properties. By checking Delete old file if diskfull, the earliest video files will be automatically located and deleted. If Delete old file if disk full isunchecked, then XP-Builder will stop and prompt the user with an error message. When the total number of files reaches 1000, delete the earliest created file from the earliest createddirectory. As files are deleted and the directory is emptied, the directory will then be deleted.4. Reference4-472Monitoring External Storage ConnectionXGT Panel monitors connections with external storage devices. Storage monitoring is set up in XP-Builderas shown below:To use the monitoring function, you should select the Alarm window pop-up option, when youdownload the project file.When the external storage device for logging, recipe, and screen image backup is removed from XGTPanel while the device is running, a system alarm is turned on. The alarm is reset when an externalstorage device is reconnected to the XGT Panel.You can check system alarms and their device addresses in the System Alarm menu located in XP-Builderas shown below: 4. Reference4-4734. Reference4-474Safe Removal SwitchThe safe removal switch is used to remove external storage devices without any loss of backup data.When the safe removal switch is on, and the storage device is not processing data, the LED lamp will turnoff. If the storage device is processing data, the LED lamp will turn off after the backup is completed,automatically disengaging the storage device. This means that when the LED lamp is turned off nobackup action will be completed and the data in the storage device is inaccessible.When the safe removal switch is activated and the LED lamp is off, the storage device must be removedand reconnected to ensure that it is recognized. The minimum time delay for removing and reconnectingstorage devices after their safe removal is 5 seconds.The actions listed below describe situations where theLEDlamp will not turn off even if the safe removalswitch is turned on. The LED lamp will only go off after the described actions are fully completed: While a backup file is being created or XP-Builder is reading data If the images stored in the XP_User Image from an external storage device is being used as a partimage and being loaded in the program While reading or writing a file recipe While reading backup data from the XP-server through an XP-Link connection While browsing backup lists to upload from XP-Builder While loading a sound file or an image that belongs to a project While transferring project backup data to a storage device or from XP-Builder While downloading a project using XP-Builder or a storage device While changing an image in the start menu While ladder program monitoring is being saved in a storage deviceFunction Sub Classification ActionData Backup Alarm WritingLogging WritingRecipe WritingScreen WritingMemo WritingVideo WritingStill Shot WritingData Upload Alarm ReadingLogging ReadingRecipe Reading4.
