9.5.2 BM Monitor screen display and key functions
In this section, the BM Monitor screen display and the functions of keys displayed at the top of the screen are explained.
(1) Display
*1 Displayed for QCPU monitor only.
(2) Key functions
The chart below shows the function of the keys that are used with the operation of the BM Monitor screen.
Displays current value of a maximum of 16 devices.
1) Displays the keys that are used with the operation of the BM Monitor screen shown in (2) (Touch input).
2) Displays the monitor station network No., station No., CPU No.*1 and the first 2 digits of the I/O signal No. of the object module.
3) Displays the current values of the buffer memory (The screen above shows when the monitor module is 16 bits.).
Key Function
This moves to basic screen (function change menu screen) for changing to another moni-tor function or ending the system monimoni-tor (See Sec. 9.1.1.).
This moves to display change menu screen for changing the number display on the BM monitor screen (decimal/hexadecimal) (See Sec. 9.1.2.).
This moves to device setting menu screen to change the monitor device or execute a test.

9.6 Test
When monitoring with the system monitor function, you can specify an optional station or device to be moni-tored and test it.
The operation of testing a bit device, word device, or special module buffer memory of the PLC CPU is explained in this section.
CAUTION
Read the manual carefully and fully understand the operation before the test operation (ON/OFF of bit devices, modifying current value of a word device,modifying timer/counter setting, modifying the current value, or modifying the current value of a buffer memory) of system monitor.
In addition, never modify data in a test operation to a device which performs a crucial operation to the system. It may cause an accident by a false output or malfunction.

(1) Touch either, depending on test contents.
SET/RST (set/reset) bit device.
or
Change current value of word device.
Change T, or C set value.
or
Change current value of buffer memory.
* With VALUE16 or BM VAL16, 16 bits is the object module.
With VALUE32 or BM VAL32, 32 bits is the object module.
(2) Specify the network No., station No. and CPU No.
of the object PLC CPU (See Sec. 9.1.3, *1.).
(For data link system) Network No.: 0 (For multi-CPU system) * CPU No. 0 to 4 (CPU number)
* Displayed for QCPU monitor only.
(3) Specify object device.
(4) Specify test value.
With SET/RST (set/reset) of bit device, specify 0 (RST) or 1 (SET).
When changing current value of word device When changing T or C set value
or
When changing current value of buffer memory Match current display form (decimal/hexadeci-mal) and specify change value. (*4)

9.6.1 Basic operation
*1 The data being entered can be cleared by using the following keys.
: Clear all data being entered in the object area.
: Clear one character from the cursor position.
*2 The format for the data being entered is displayed on the right side of the screen.
: Enter in decimal.
: Enter in hexadecimal.
*3 The monitor target must be preset using GT Designer2.
For ACPU monitor, specify the network number/station number set on GT Designer2.
Refer to the GOT-A900 series User's Manual (Connection System Manual) for details of the monitor target setting for Ethernet connection.
*4 Even when the setting value/current value is changed after the timer (T) has timed out and the counter (C) has fin-ished counting, the time-up status/count-up status do not change. The current status is maintained.
(When the setting value is changed to a large value/when the current value is changed to a small value)
*5 When an index-qualified T/C set value is changed, only its constant part is changed. Its index-qualified part is not changed.
Example) Changing the set value of T5 from "300" to "200"
