Chapter 5 Control Block and Status Block|ScrEdit Software User Manual
Revision Apr. 30th, 2007, 2007PDD23000002 5-9
5.2 Status Block
For two-way communication and display screen between DOP series and all brands’ PLC, it needs to input
starting address of response register in status block. The status block in DOP series HMI is a continuous
data block, such as Dm=D10 (length is 8 WORDs = D10-D17). When the control block size is set to 0, the
control block function is disabled. If the control block function is disabled, the status block function is also
disabled. When the status block function is enabled, the external controller, i.e. PLC can know the status of
HMI by writing the setting in status block. But, please note that the address of control block and status block
cannot be the same.
The function and explanation of each WORD are listed below. (In the following table, we assume that the
user will use a Delta PLC, so the available starting addresses in control block are Dm ~ Dm+7 (D10 ~ D17).)
