Q: I am using Omron PLC, how can I set up the preset value?
A: There are two ways of setting the preset values.
You can use the blocks as usual.
On request we provide ESI files with Backup Flags. When launching the project with this ESI file, the flag should appear on the main menu. You must perform the following steps:
- Transfer the preset value from the encoder to the PLC
- Change the preset value.
- Transfer the preset value from the PLC to the encoder.
