l Status
Refer to [Status Address].

l Transfer File Size

Stores the size of the file to transfer. At the start of transfer, data from the previous
transfer is cleared. Units are in bytes.

l Transfer File name

Stores the name of the file being transferred.

n A file name is handled in upper case letters even if the name uses lower case
characters.

n Up to 19 characters can be used for a file name. If a name uses more than 19
characters, displays the first 16 characters followed by an ellipsis (...).

n When the system language is Japanese, you can use JISX0208-1990 characters for the
file name.. When the system language is English, you can use the roman characters up
to 7F (ASCII) in JISX0201. However, you cannot use control codes or other characters

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 64 of 184

that cannot be used in file names.

l Transfer Complete File Size

Stores the file size of the files that have completed transfer among the transfer target
files. Units are in bytes.

l Communication Speed
Stores average transfer speed. After transfer complete, stores the resulting file size
divided by the elapsed time. Decimal places are truncated. Units are in bytes per
second.

l Elapsed Time
Stores the elapsed time from the start of transfer. Units are in seconds.

l Time Remaining
Stores the transfer time remaining. Decimal places are truncated. Units are in seconds.
The following method is used for calculation:
(Transfer File Size minus Transfer Complete File Size) / Speed
The status value is not cleared to zero when transfer is complete. The status is cleared
on starting the next transfer. (Status is not included.)

¡ If an error occurs during file transfer, saves the value before the error occurred.

¡ Speed, Elapsed Time, Transfer File name, Transfer Complete File Size, and Time
Remaining are written every second.
However, when the start file size is large, it may take longer to populate the status
value. The total file size is updated when transfer of 1 file is complete.

¡ When [Extended] is selected, it may take a long time to start data transfer if there is a
large number of files.

¡ On deleting, the Transfer File Size, Speed, Transfer Complete File Size, and Transfer
Time Remaining are cleared to zero. Only the Transfer File name and the elapsed time
information is saved.

¡ The storage area for Transfer File Size and Transfer Complete File Size is 32 bits.
Transferred files that exceed the storage limit of 4294967295 bytes (about 4 GB) cannot
be stored. Exceeding this limit may cause instability.

¡ Speed and Time Remaining values cannot be stored if the Transfer file size and Transfer
Complete File Size exceeds 4294967295 bytes.

¡ If the time on the display unit's clock changes during the transfer, the values for Speed,
Elapsed Time, and Time Remaining are not stored.

¡ Time Remaining is the estimate until transfer is complete. If the number of data is large,
the accuracy of estimates decreases. Accuracy also decreases when transferring large
files.

¡ When data transfer is started, it uses the file manager's extended settings for the screen
where the transfer began, even if a screen change occurs during the data transfer and
the file manager's extended settings on the new screen are different.

¡ When a screen change occurs during a data transfer and extended settings exist on both

26.10.3 About the Condition Name Search Feature

26.10.4 About Automatic Numbering

26.10.1 How to Transfer CSV Data

The Destination Address and other information is not included in created CSV data. Set the
condition necessary for transfer (Destination Address, Number of Data Items, etc.) separate from
the data.

Condition Example
Collected files to be transferred to the same address are set as a single condition (GROUP).

In the file name [ZR*****.csv], ***** represents the file number portion.

Condition Number of Data

Condition Name Address*1 File Number*2
Number Items
0 Mat erial 1 D100. . . 6 0- 9
1 T emp. D110. . . 3 10-19
2 Mat erial 2 D300. . . 50 20-99
*1 This is the start address for the transfer destination (or transfer source.) You can set up either the address
for an external device or an internal address.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 72 of 184

*2 Designate the range (the start number to the termination number) of the files you want to transfer with the
same condition.

When the ZR00000.csv and ZR00010.csv files are transferred to the device/PLC, ZR0000.csv is
written depending on Condition Number 0, and ZR00010.csv is written depending on Condition
Number 1.

¡ If the number of data items designated in the condition settings differs from that of the
CSV Data Recipes, the smaller number of data items is transferred.

¡ Ensure that the file numbers set in the condition settings ([Start] to [End]) are not
repeated in multiple conditions. If file numbers are repeated in several conditions, data is
transferred using the condition with the smaller number. (In the following example, the
overlapping files ZR00002.CSV and ZR00003.CSV are transferred according to Condition
Number 0.)

Condition Number Condition Name File Number

0 P roduc t A 0-3
1 P roduc t B 2-5

¡ Without using preset condition settings, you can set the condition (Destination Address,
Number of Data Items, and so on) at transfer.
26.10.2.2 For Address Action

Values Transferred to Device/PLC

When transferring data from external storage to the device/PLC, the values transferred will be
processed as follows following the conditions set in [Display Format] and [Bit Length].

Dec

n If values exceed the 32-bit upper limit value, 4294967295 for unsigned 32 bits and -1 for
signed 32 bits is output to the device/PLC. Even when values are within the 32 bit range, but
the [Bit Length] is set to [16 Bits], for values exceeding the upper limit, the bottom 16 bits
will be output and the top 16 bits are ignored. (For example, "70000"(0x11170) --

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 73 of 184

>"4464"(0x1170))

n If values contain characters other than 0 to 9 or the decimal point, characters after the
problem character cannot be read. (For example, "12A34" -->"12")

Hex

n If values exceed the 32-bit upper limit value, FFFFFFFF is output to the device/PLC. Even
when values are within the 32 bit range, but the [Bit Length] is set to [16 Bits], for values
exceeding the upper limit, the bottom 16 bits will be output and the top 16 bits are ignored.
(For example, "0x11170" --> "0x1170")

n If values contain characters other than 0 to 9 and A to F, characters after the problem
character cannot be read. (For example, "12G34" --> "12")

Float

n Zero is used for values that exceed 17 integral digits or 16 decimal places. (For example,
"123456789012345678.9" --> "0")

n If values contain characters other than 0 to 9, characters after the problem character cannot
be read. Furthermore, when there are two or more decimal points, data after the second
decimal point is not read. (For example, "12.3.4" --> "12.3")

¡ Regardless of the [Display Format] setting, tabs or single spaces are skipped when data
is read. (For example, "12_34" --> "1234")

26.10.2 Control Word Address

This address controls the transfer when automatically transferring CSV data. The address contents
are different when you transfer with the [Condition Action] or with the [Address Action].

26.10.2.1 For Condition Action

26.10.2.2 For Address Action

26.10.2.1 For Condition Action

Set the number of files and the file numbers to transfer. When bit 0 of [Control Word Address] turns
ON, CSV data from external storage is written to the device/PLC. When bit 1 turns ON, device/PLC
data is saved to the external storage as defined by the [Condition].
The number of addresses used depends on the device designated in the address.

For example, when 16 bit device is specified

A maximum of 64 files can be transferred simultaneously.

l Number of Files
Specify the number of CSV files to transfer (from 1 to 64).
If this value is not set, data is not transferred when the [Control Word Address] turns
ON. Also, status will not restart.

l File Number 1
Stores the first File Number to transfer.
After that, the desired transfer order is stored by file number.

Automatic Transfer (Condition Action) Timing Chart

When the control address bit 0 (or bit 1) turns ON, the Transferring bit (status bit 0) turns ON.

When a data transfer is completed successfully, the Transferring bit turns OFF, and the Transfer
Complete Flag (status bit 1) turns ON.

When the data transfer is completed, determine the Transfer Complete Flag via the device/PLC and
turn OFF the Control Address bit.

Turning OFF the Control Address bit automatically turns OFF bit 1 (transfer complete) in the status
address.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 76 of 184

If the transfer fails, the Transferring Bit turns OFF, and the error code is set in the error status
(status bits 12-15). Before starting the next transfer, clear the Status and Control bits to 0 and turn
on the required Control bit.

26.10.2.2 For Address Action

The device code and address code defined when transferring, also defines the transfer destination
(or source) address for each CSV file.
The number of addresses used depends on the device designated in the address.

Only one file (1 set of CSV data) can be transferred at a time.

For example, when 16 bit device is specified

The [Control Word Address] uses 16 consecutive words and designates the data to transfer and the
destination address.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 77 of 184

After setting the file number, mode, device code, address code, and number of data, when the
[Control Word Address] bit 0 turns ON, the designated file number's Recipe (CSV data) is written to
the specified address.

Also, when the [Control Word Address] bit 1 turns ON, the Recipe stored in the device/PLC's
designated address is saved to external storage.

l Control
Data is transferred depending on the state of this address's 0 and 1 bits.

¡ Ensure that all bits in this address are set to "0" when the GP unit is turned on.

specified in Address Mode, use the device code 0x0000 for the LS device, and the
device code 0x0001 for the USR device.

l Number of Data Items

Designate the number of data items in the CSV Data Recipe. The maximum number of
data items is 10,000 for 16 bit and 5,000 for 32 bit. If the number of data items
exceeds this limit, the transfer operation will not work.

Automatic Transfer (Address Action) Timing Chart

When the data transfer is completed, status bit 1 (Transfer Complete Flag) turns ON. Turn OFF the
trigger bit after the Transfer Complete Flag is displayed via the device/PLC. Turning OFF the
trigger bit automatically turns OFF Transfer Complete Flag on the status address.

Address Action Transfer Example

Writing from external storage to the device/PLC

For example, transferring "ZR00001.csv" (Number of Data Items: 6, Data length: 16 Bit, No Sign)
the address D100 of the device/PLC.
Control Word Address: D50

1. Write the transfer file number "1" to D52.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 80 of 184

2. Write "0" (16 Bit, No Sign) to D53.

3. Write "0" to D54.

¡ When the transfer destination is the internal device, write "1".

¡ For memory link type, set "0".

4. Write the transfer destination device "0x0000" (D device) to D55.

5. Designate the transfer destination address in D56/D57. Write "100" to D56 and "0" to D57.

6. Write "6" to D58.

7. Turn ON D50 bit 0. CSV data is written to addresses D100 to D105.

8. When the data transfer is completed, turn OFF bit 0 of D51 (the [Transferring] bit). Turn ON
the [Transfer Complete Flag] (bit 1).

Reading from the device/PLC to external storage

For example, transfer six data items (Data Length: 16 Bit, No Sign) from the device/PLC, D100 to
D105, to the CF Card and create the file ZR00002.csv.

1. Write the file number "2" to be created by transfer to D52.

2. Write "0" (16 Bit, No Sign) to D53.

3. Write "0" to D54.

4. Write the transfer source device "0x0000" (D device) to D55.

5. Designate the transfer source address in D56/D57. Write "100" to D56 and "0" to D57.

6. Write "6" to D58.

7. Turn ON D50 bit 1. The data from D100 to D105 are read and the file name "ZR00002.csv" is
created in the CF Card [File] folder.
When the data transfer is completed, turn OFF bit 0 of D51(the [Transferring] bit). Turn ON
the [Transfer Complete Flag] (bit 1).

¡ When transferring from the device/PLC to external storage, the CSV Data date is
set in two-digit format.

Delete File
For example, Delete file name "ZR00002.csv" from the CF Card.

1. Write the file number "2" to delete to D52.

2. Turn ON D50 bit 15 (Deletion bit).

When the file deletion is completed, D51 bit 1 (Transfer Complete Flag) turns ON.

26.10.3 About the Condition Name Search Feature

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 81 of 184

When automatically transferring from external storage to the device/PLC, by designating the
condition name of the file you want to transfer, you can search for a matching CSV file within the
external storage [file] folder and transfer that data to the device/PLC.

In the following example, the CSV files that match the product number (condition name) read from
the barcode reader are transferred to the device/PLC.

¡ The search only detects files whose condition name is an exact match for the search
string. Spaces indicate different file names and can cause errors.

The designated [Search Word Address] uses 16 words, and the condition name to be searched can
be up to 32 characters (16 double-byte characters). After storing the search condition name, turn
ON bit 2 of the [Control Word Address]. The search and transfer to the device/PLC begins. If there
are multiple matching files, the CSV data are transferred in order of file number.

26.10.3.2 Control Word Address when Using the Condition Name Search Feature

26.10.3.3 Condition Name Search Storage Methods

If an index file (ZRINDEX.CSV) exists in the [file] folder, the search scans the contents of the index
file.

If there is no index file and the [file] folder contains a large number of files, referencing and
searching the condition names of all CSV files may take a long time. (For example, if approximately
1,000 CSV files are searched, the search operation takes approximately one minute.)

¡ Even if the target file exists in the [file] folder, files whose condition name is not
reflected in the index file cannot be detected. Either update or delete the index file
and then transfer the files.

26.10.3.1 What is an Index File?

In GP-Pro EX, create CSV data and from the right-click menu click [Update Search File]. In the
[file] folder, the index file ZRINDEX.csv is created.

When using the Condition Name Search feature, this file is used to speed up the search. GP-Pro
EX registered recipe (CSV data) information such as file number and condition name are written to

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 82 of 184

this file.

The index file has the following format:

In GP-Pro EX, after you run CSV file operations such as adding, editing, or deleting from the
[Recipe] [Transfer CSV Data (CSV File List)], right-click [Update Search File] to update the index
file.

If a CSV file has been created in Excel or by a device/PLC and transferred to external storage, the
index file will not reflect information from these files. Either open the index file and input the
information directly in the file, or add/edit the index file in GP-Pro EX.

¡ When editing the index file, be careul of index file errors.

The following cases will cause an index file error, and Condition Name Search feature will
not work. Create a new index file or delete the existing index file before resuming the
transfer operation. The index file can be deleted by using a Special Data Display [File
Manager].

¡ A file number is missing.

¡ The file number is not within the range of 0 to 65535.

¡ The index file is not in CSV file format.

¡ Index file condition names and file numbers are created by referencing the file contents
in the [file] folder. The index file is not created based on GP-Pro EX condition settings.

¡ You can also use the system variable #H_CsvIndex_Control to create an index file at run
time.
A.2.2.2 Word Type - #H System Variables

¡ An index file can be created in offline mode. For information about how to use offline
mode, refer to the following.
Maintenance/Troubleshooting Guide, M.7.2 Creating an index file for recipes in
external storage

¡ When creating an index file from offline mode, the file will be overwritten if there is
already an index file in the designated external storage.

Condition Name Search Transfer Timing Chart

When the control address' bit 2 turns ON, the [Transferring] bit (status bit 0) turns ON.

When a data transfer is completed successfully, the Transferring bit turns OFF, and the Transfer
Complete Flag (status bit 1) turns ON.

When the data transfer is completed, determine the Transfer Complete Flag via the device/PLC and
turn OFF the Control Address' bit. When the trigger is OFF, the [Transfer Completion] bit turns
OFF.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 85 of 184

If the transfer fails, the Transferring Bit turns OFF, and the error code is set in the error status
(status bits 12-15). Before starting the next transfer, clear the Status and Control bits to 0 and turn
on the required Control bit.

¡ The period while the Transferring Status Bit is ON includes the time required for
searching the CSV files. Therefore, do not access the [file] folder in external storage
while the Transferring Status Bit is on.

26.10.3.3 Condition Name Search Storage Methods

In the lower 16 words of the designated [Search Word Address], you can store the condition name
according to the Text Data Mode. This can be set to either a PLC address or a display unit's
internal device address.

If the specified name is less than 32 characters, write 0 (NULL="0(h)") or a blank space ("20h") in
all the addresses following the last character. Characters before the 0 (NULL) or space are
considered part of the search condition.

Condition Name Search can be performed only for Data Modes 1, 2, 4 or 5.

The following are examples of the Text Data Modes.

For example, searching for Condition Name "TYPE-A0001".

l String Data Mode 1

l String Data Mode 2

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 86 of 184

l String Data Mode 4

l String Data Mode 5

¡ You can use a space in the condition name to search, but it cannot be in the last
position. Spaces between the last character and 0 are replaced with 0 in the
matching operation.

¡ If the [Search Word Address]'s top position is 0, the search looks for a file without a
condition name.

26.10.4 About Automatic Numbering

When automatically transferring from the device/PLAN to an external storage device, you can
automatically allocate file numbers to create new files. To set up this function, open the [CSV Data
Transfer Condition] dialog box and click the [Extended] tab.

The automatic numbering action is as follows:

n A new file name is created by adding +1 to the file number with the most recent time stamp
among existing files in external storage.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 87 of 184

n If no free space is left, the file with the oldest time stamp is deleted and a new file is created
by adding +1 to the last saved file number.

n When the file numbers saved to the external storage device are not sequential, a new file
name is created by adding +1 to the file number with the most recent time stamp among
existing files.

¡ If the file numbers do not conform to time stamps in automatic numbering mode (when
files are overwritten by manual transfer), a new file is created by increasing the most
recent File Number by +1.

¡ When using automatic numbering, do not use manual transfer (Device/PLAN to external
storage) to allocate file numbers. These files will be overwritten.
Regardless of the timestamp of a manual transfer, files are overwritten, in order, from
the number of the last automatically numbered file plus one.
If the file number reaches the [End], data will not be transferred even if the [Control
Word Address] turns ON. To continue transferring data, use the [Loop] feature or specify
the [Resume Bit Address].

n Using the Loop function

When you enable the [Loop] feature, after the [End] is reached, data is overwritten
starting from the [Start] and the transfer continues.
For example, when the Condition are: [Start] = 0, [End] = 4

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 88 of 184

n When using a Resume Bit Address

When the [End] is reached and the designated [Resume Bit Address] turns ON, then
the next time the [Control Word Address] turns ON, the [Start] file gets overwritten
and the other files after that are overwritten and transferred.

Automatic Numbering Timing Chart

When you create files from [Start] to [End], the [Full Bit Address] turns ON and automatic transfer
ends.

To run automatic transfer again, turn ON the [Resume Bit Address], then turn ON bit 1 of the
[Control Word Address]. Files are overwritten and created in order starting from the [Start].

When the [Resume Bit Address] turns ON, the [Full Bit Address] is turned OFF. Check that the [Full
Bit Address] is turned OFF and turn OFF the [Resume Bit Address].

¡ Transfer may not work when files already exist up to the end number in external storage.
When the display unit is turned ON, right after turning ON bit 1 in [Control Word
Address], [Full Bit Address] turns ON. However, if the [Resume Bit Address] is ON, when
you turn ON bit 1 in the [Control Word Address], files are overwritten beginning at the
start number.
Before running the Transfer operation, you should check the file number stored in
external storage and also check the state of [Resume Bit Address].

26.11 Filing Data Flow

You can transfer filing data between the display unit's backup memory (SRAM) and connected
devices.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 89 of 184

1. Transfer Preparation
Depending on the screen transfer method, filing data created in GP-Pro EX is stored in the
display unit's internal memory (Screen Area*1), or on external storage (external storage*2).
In order to transfer filing data, you need to first save the filing data in the backup memory
(SRAM).
26.15.1 Transfer Filing Data (Mode)
*1 Memory where the screen data is stored. Filing data is stored in memory via a screen
transfer.
*2 You cannot transfer data in the USB Storage Destination Folder on a computer to the USB
storage device inserted in the display unit. Copy data in the computer folder to the USB
storage device, and then connect the USB storage device to the display unit.

2. Transfer Filing Data

You can transfer filing data from backup memory (SRAM) to a connected device, or from a
connected device to backup memory (SRAM).
There are two transfer methods: Automatic transfer and Manual transfer.

Set the control address and transfer data when the PLC trigger bit
A ut omat ic turns ON.

26.17.2 Filing Data Capacity

26.17.3 Transferring Item Name and Block Number

26.17.4 Manual Transfer Via Internal Device

26.17.1 Filing Data Structure

Recipe data is managed in folder units.

One folder can hold a maximum of 2048 files.

One file can handle a maximum of 1650 blocks (recipes). Data transfer is carried out in blocks.
Also, the maximum number of data items in 1 file is 10000 or 5000 when the data is 32 bit.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 115 of 184

¡ The number of files, blocks, and data that can be set changes depending on the ratio of
each one.

¡ You can also register files in multiple folders. Up to 8999 folders can be registered, but
only one folder can be stored in backup memory (SRAM).

26.17.2 Filing Data Capacity

The space on the backup memory (SRAM) required depends on the settings of Number of Files,
Number of Blocks, Number of Data, and Bit Length.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 116 of 184

¡ Only one folder can be stored in backup memory (SRAM).

¡ The capacity of the backup memory (SRAM) for filing data depends on the type of display
unit and the space used by other data. For details about backup memory (SRAM), please
see the following.
2.3 About the Display Unit's Internal Data

¡ To check the backup memory (SRAM) usage, from the [Project (F)] menu, point to
[Information (I)], select [Project Information (I)], and then select [SRAM Information].

Calculation

l Usage capacity per file (in bytes)

118 + {(34 + 2*1 X Number of Data) X Number of Blocks}

*1 Two bytes when the data length is 16 bit, four bytes when the data length is 32 bit.

l Usage capacity per folder (in bytes)

4 + Total of Each File Usage

Calculation Examples

Items Description
Blocks 5

Number of Data Items 1000

Data format (bit length) 16 Bit

For example, folder capacity with only 1 file

[Calculation Result]
4 + [118 + {(34 + 2 x 1,000) x 5}] = 10292 bytes (approximately 10 KB)

26.17.3 Transferring Item Name and Block Number

In the [Edit Filing Data] dialog box, click [Options] to configure settings to transfer data with the
item name and block number attached.

When transferring both the item name and block number to the device/PLC along with the data, it is
stored with the following structure.

For example, [Storage Start Address] is a 16 bit address, data is 16 bit

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 117 of 184

¡ The item name is stored based on the settings in [Text Data Mode] (available from
[Project] menu, [System Settings], [Device/PLC]).

¡ Storage of the item name and data depends on the designated [Storage Start Address]
and [Bit Length].

¡ The block number is not transferred during a device/PLC to backup memory (SRAM)
transfer. The same applies when transferring via the internal device (Device/PLC to
Internal Device to SRAM).

¡ When using manual transfer via the internal device, the item name will be sent between
the backup memory (SRAM) and the internal device regardless of settings in the
[Preferences] dialog box.
For example, when only [Send Block Number] is designated

¡ When the Item Name is less than 32 characters, spaces are automatically appended.

¡ Even when the [Display Format] is set to [BCD], the Block Number are stored in the
device/PLC with Bin format.

Data Structure when Transferring both Block Number and Item Name

When [Storage Start Address] is a 16 bit address (n = Number of Data Items)

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 118 of 184

When [Storage Start Address] is a 32 bit address (n = Number of Data Items)

26.17.4 Manual Transfer Via Internal Device

When a Special Data Display [Filing] is set with [Via Internal Device], you can use a Switch Lamp
Part [Special Switch] and point to [File Item Switch] to transfer [SRAM -> Internal Device], [Internal
Device], [Device -> Internal Device], and [Internal Device -> SRAM].

¡ A Switch to operate the transfer to and from the internal device can only be created with
a Switch Lamp [Special Switch].

For example, when transferring from SRAM to Internal Device (Start Address: LS20) to

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 119 of 184

Device/PLC
(Data length: 16bit)

Data stored in the internal device can display as required on the screen of a display unit in a Data
Display [Numeric Display]. Use this when you want to want to make small adjustments to the data
on the screen of a display unit before transferring it to the device/PLC.

Structure of Filing Data Stored in the Internal Device

When transferring data from backup memory (SRAM) to the internal device, the 16 consecutive
words following the designated [Storage Start Address] store the item names, after which data is
stored.

The item name is stored based on the settings in [Text Data Mode] (available from [Project] menu,
[System Settings], [Device/PLC]).

For example, when the data length is 16 bits

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 120 of 184

¡ When data is 32 bit, the used data portion is Number of Data Items x two words.

When transferring data from the internal device to the device/PLC, only data stored in the internal
device are written to designated addresses in the device/PLC.

¡ If [Send Item Names] is set when creating data, you can also transfer item names to the
device/PLC.

Language and language code of recipe labels and element labels, along with the label
number. Do not edit.
If there are two or more label languages, you can select which language to use when
exporting from GP-Pro EX. When you export from the display unit, the current language
is used in the output. When you import, the label should be the same language code
and label number as the import destination.

Language and language code of text in element values. Do not edit.

This language information is used for text data in the enhanced recipe group.

l <Blank row>
This is a blank row. Do not edit.
One blank row is required. If the blank row is missing, or if there are multiple blank
rows, import will fail.

l , ,<Element 1 Label>,<Element 2 Label>,...,<Element n Label>

Output the element label selected by the Label Language's label number. When you edit
the label, use the language defined for the Label Language. You cannot add or delete
elements. You cannot import when the number of elements in the recipe group in the
import destination does not match the number of elements in the CSV file.

l <Recipe ID>,<Recipe Label>,<Element 1 value>,<Element 2 value>,...,<Element n value>

Label Language, and text formatted element values (Element 2) are output using the
Data Language. To edit recipe labels and element values, edit each in the same
language as the corresponding language code.
Do not duplicate recipe IDs. If you import a duplicate ID into GP-Pro EX, the recipe is
overwritten with the recipe in the last row. On the display unit, an error occurs
preventing you from importing duplicate IDs.

¡ When using double quotation marks in text data (element value), refer to the following.

26.24 Searching Enhanced Recipes with System Variables

Using system variables, you can specify text to search, run searches, and check the search results.

When you search for an enhanced recipe label, the number of recipes matching your search
condition and their corresponding IDs are stored in system variables. This gives you more flexibility
in creating screens, as you can search without using dedicated enhanced recipe parts.

Setup Procedure
To search for enhanced recipes using system variables, use the following system variables.

Variable name Description Variable Type Feature

Enhanced recipe labels to 64 bytes of
#H_RecipeSearchTarget
search consecutive data

Search options for enhanced 16-bit integer Cont rol

#H_RecipeSearchOption
recipes variable

#H_RecipeControlSearch Search enhanced recipes Bit variable

16-bit integer
#H_RecipeResultSearch Search status
variable

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 147 of 184

16-bit integer
#H_RecipeMatchedCount Number of hits
variable
S t at us
16-bit integer
Matching enhanced recipe
#H_RecipeMatchedID[xx] variable array
IDs found in search
xx: 0..63

Operating Procedure

1. Specify the recipe label to find in #H_RecipeSearchTarget. You can use wildcards "*" and
"?".
For example, "lineA_XW*"

¡ When there are two or more label languages, search uses the language current at
the time of the search. Define the search text string in that language's character
code.

2. Use #H_RecipeSearchOption to specify the search option.

3. Turn ON #H_RecipeControlSearch to start the enhanced recipe search. When the search
process starts, bit 0 of #H_RecipeResultSearch turns ON.

4. When the search is complete, the #H_RecipeResultSearch bit 1 turns ON.

#H_RecipeMatchedCount. Use this variable to see how many enhanced recipes matched the
search condition. Starting at #H_RecipeMatchedID[0], you can find the IDs of enhanced
recipes that matched the search condition.
For example, when #H_RecipeMatchedCount is 10, the values of #H_RecipeMatchedID[0] to
#H_RecipeMatchedID[9] are the IDs of enhanced recipes found by the search.

5. #H_RecipeResultSearch bit 1. Use this variable to check if the search is complete, then turn
OFF #H_RecipeControlSearch.

¡ When you turn OFF #H_RecipeControlSearch, #H_RecipeResultSearch bit 1 also

turns OFF.

26.25 Editing Specific Element Values in Enhanced Recipes

You can edit specific element values on the device/PLC.

Assign a mapped address to the recipe element that you want to edit, and then change the value in
the mapped address to change the element value. To reflect the value in the mapped address to
the recipe's element value, use the system variable #H_RecipeControlMapAddress.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 148 of 184

Setup Procedure
Assign a mapped address to Element 1 of Recipe Group 1.

RecipeA RecipeB
Data type Address #
(ID: 1) (ID: 2)
Element 1 16 Bit Dec D0000100 1 100 200

Element 2 16 Bit Dec D0000110 1 -50 -60

Element 3 Bit X00120 1 OFF ON

1. Set the mapped address in the element.

From the [Common Settings] menu select [Enhanced Recipe Settings], open the recipe group
(Recipe Group1), select the [Map] checkbox, and set the [Mapped Address] D500.

2. Set up a function to turn ON the system variable #H_RecipeControlMapAddress.

3. Set up a function to change the value in the mapped address (D500).

4. Set up additional enhanced recipe functions to perform the following:

Function to select which enhanced recipe to work with (system variables #H_RecipeGroupID,
#H_RecipeID). Function to confirm the enhanced recipe's processing state (system variable
#H_Processing). Function to check on the save operation of mapped addresses (system
variable #H_RecipeResultTransfer).

Operating Procedure
Change the mapped address value (D500), and reflect it in Element1 of RecipeA.

1. Select the recipe to edit. (Set the system variables #H_RecipeGroupID and #H_RecipeID to
1.)

¡ The mapped address stores the element value of the recipe being edited.

2. Change the value in the mapped address (D500). (Change the value from 100 to 123.)

3. To load, turn ON the system variable #H_RecipeControlMapAddress. Use #H_Processing to

check the load process. If the load fails, find the cause in #H_RecipeResultTransfer.
Use the above steps to change RecipeA, Element1.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 149 of 184

¡ To save the updated element (Element1) value in the display unit's project, use
either the Enhanced Recipe Data List's special switch, or the system variable
#H_RecipeControlSave. Without saving, the element value returns to its previous
value on reloading or selecting a recipe.

26.26 Confirming Which Enhanced Recipe's data is Transferred

When you transfer enhanced recipes to the device/PLC, you can write the recipe ID and recipe
label of these enhanced recipes to a defined address.

D800: Recipe ID
D801..832: Recipe label

Setup Procedure

1. From the [Common Settings] menu select [Enhanced Recipe Settings], open the recipe group
tab (RecipeGroup1), then click [Send Options].

Destination address data structure

[Destination] field. Use one word for the recipe ID and 32 words for the recipe label. If you select
both the recipe ID and recipe label, first the recipe ID is stored, followed by the recipe label.

Using the character code defined in the enhanced recipe group's [Language] setting, the recipe
label is stored in the [Destination]. If there are 2 or more label languages, as defined in [Select
label languages], the system uses the language of the label displayed when the enhanced recipe is
transferred.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024

Keypad display when editing element values

If the element values for the Enhanced Recipe Data List can be edited, touch the element value to
display a keypad.

l If the enhanced recipe data is in Integer/Float/Bit format:

The system keypad displays.

¡ For details on the system keypad, refer to the following.

15.6.1.1 System Keypad

¡ The supported input range appears in the top-left corner of the keypad, identified by the
Min] and [Max] labels. You can define the input range in the [From] and [To] fields when
you set up recipe groups.
26.27.2 Recipe Group (Recipe Group 1) Settings Guide

l If the enhanced recipe data is in text format:

The same keypad as editing recipe labels appears.

The maximum number of characters you can enter is defined in the Enhanced Recipe Group's [#]
field.

26.27.2 Recipe Group (Recipe Group 1) Settings Guide

26.30.3 Mapped Addresses

Mapped addresses are addresses linked to a defined element. You can link each element of an
enhanced recipe group to a mapped address. When you select a recipe or edit an element value,
the value of the element is written to the mapped address. By assigning mapped addresses, you
can edit and display element values without using enhanced recipe parts.

After using a mapped address to edit an element value, use a system variable to save the element
value. Editing the mapped address value alone does not change the enhanced recipe on the display
unit. If you transfer an enhanced recipe without saving the element value, the transfer includes the
value before editing.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 176 of 184

¡ Log in at or above the recipe security level before performing these operations. If you
are logged in at a lower security level than the recipe security level, you cannot save
mapped address values as element values even with system variables.

¡ Using [Mapped Address] reduces the maximum number of enhanced recipes.

For example, 2 label languages, 16 bit data format for all elements, and recipe group has
no input restrictions.
1. Where there are NO mapped addresses, you can create up to 29 recipe groups with
100 recipes and 1000 elements, and 1 recipe group with 100 recipes and 317 elements.
2. When mapped addresses are used for all elements, you can create up to 28 recipe
groups with 100 recipes and 1000 elements, and 1 recipe group with 100 recipes and 295
elements.

Updating mapped addresses and element values

When RecipeA is selected, the value in Element1 (100) is saved to the mapped address (D500);
when Recipe B is selected, its Element1 value (300) is saved to the mapped address.

From the display unit, if you change RecipeB's element value and save this change, the value in
the mapped address (D500) also changes.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 177 of 184

If you edit the value in the mapped address (D500), the associated element value in the enhanced
recipe does not change. Use the system variable #H_RecipeControlMapAddress to save the
element value in the current enhanced recipe. Always save the element value with system variables
before transferring enhanced recipes.

26.31.1 Restrictions on Transferring CSV Data

n When using external storage, check the restrictions identified in the following.
5.6.3 Restrictions on External Storage Usage

n The maximum number of data that can be set in one file (ZR*****.csv) is 10,000 (or 5,000
when the data is 32 bit).

n If the number of data is large, transfer may take some time. The time from when transfer
starts to when transfer is complete can vary from several seconds to several minutes.

n While a transfer is occurring, the display of Parts may not update properly or may become
slow. Screen changes and other operations may also become slow.

n If a screen change occurs during transfer, in order to read the screen information, the
transfer may take some time.

n Wait until a transfer completes before initiating another one. If a transfer is started before
the previous one ends, such as when an automatic transfer and manual transfer occur at the
same time, the second transfer operation may not be accepted.

n If a project transfer or changing to offline mode is performed while transferring data, the data
may not be transferred completely.

n If multiple files are stored in the external storage [file] folder, transferring to the device from
external storage may take up to several minutes.

n If an external storage error occurs, any file that has not finished writing may remain on the
external storage.

n When overwriting, the required available space on the external storage is approximately
double the size of the actual data. If there is more data than available space, a write error
occurs during transfer.
To free up space, you can move out data that is not immediately needed between the external
storage.
42.7 Copying or Moving Data Between a CF Card (or SD Card) and a USB Storage
Device

n When transferring data from a device/PLC to external storage, a [file] folder is created if it
does not already exist. If the external storage is not reset or a folder cannot be created, an
external storage error occurs.

n When you save the existing CSV data in the external storage, if data is entered in the third
row or later in the CSV data, it will be deleted upon saving.

n When using Float, up to 17 digits or 16 decimal places can be read, but an error may occur
after the seventh digit due to floating point limitations.

n When transferring from the external storage to the device/PLC, tabs and single-byte space
characters are skipped when read. Furthermore, when there are periods or commas in
comments, there are instances when the data text cannot be read properly. When there are
two or more commas in a single row, data after the second comma is not read.

Restrictions for Manual Transfer

n First set the Condition on [Recipe] - [Transfer CSV Data (Condition)], then place the Special
Data Display [Data Transmission] on the screen.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 179 of 184

n Only one Special Data Display [Data Transmission] can be placed per screen.

n Up to 32 Special Data Display [Data Transmission] can be placed per project.

n When selecting transfer files by touch, multiple files can only be selected from the area
displayed in a Special Data Display [Data Transmission]. (The maximum number of display
rows is 50.) If the displayed page is changed with the [Data Transmission] scroll switch, the
selection will be cancelled.

n If an error occurs while transferring multiple files, transfer stops at that file. Subsequent files
are not transferred.

n When transferring data from the device/PLC to the external storage, the data is saved in the
file set in the Special Data Display [Data Transmission]. The Condition Name (Group Name)
is overwritten by the Condition Name set in the Common Settings - Condition area.

n If the number of data designated in the condition settings differs from that in the file, the
smaller number of data are transferred.

n Ensure that the file numbers set in the condition settings ([Start] to [End]) are not repeated in
multiple conditions. If file numbers are repeated in several conditions, data are transferred
according to the condition with the smaller number.

Restrictions on Automatic Transfer (Conditional Action)

n A maximum of 64 files can be transferred at one time.

n If an error occurs while transferring multiple files, transfer stops at that file. Subsequent files
are not transferred. Transfer occurs in order starting from the top file number storage
address.

n If the number of data designated in the condition settings differs from that in the file, the
smaller number of data are transferred.

n Ensure that the file numbers set in the condition settings ([Start] to [End]) are not repeated in
multiple conditions. If file numbers are repeated in several conditions, data are transferred
according to the condition with the smaller number.

n If the number of files is not set, data are transferred even when the [Control Word Address]
turns ON. Also, status will not restart.

n When using the Condition Name Search feature, only Text Data Mode 1, 2, 4, and 5 are
supported.

Restrictions on Automatic Transfer (Address Action)

n Only one CSV Data file can be transferred at a time.

n When transferring CSV Data from external storage to a device/PLC using a memory link
connection, set [Address Mode] to "0".

n If the number of data exceeds the set range (10,000 when the data length is 16 bit, 5,000
when it's 32 bit), any excess values are not transferred.

n Ensure that the device code/address code is set correctly. If the device address is out of
range or refers to a non-existent device, a communication error occurs and no transfer is
performed.

26.31.2 Restrictions on Displaying/Editing/Printing CSV Data

n When using external storage, verify the restrictions identified below.

5.6.3 Restrictions on External Storage Usage

Display Restrictions

n Only one Special Data Display [Show CSV] can be placed per screen.

n When you place a Special Data Display [Show CSV] on a Window Screen, you cannot edit the
data. (The editing screen cannot be triggered.)

n Do not draw a Special Data Display [Show CSV] on the same screen as a Sampling Data
Display with [Edit Data] selected or a Data Display with [Allow Input] selected.

n You cannot update CSV data by transferring from the device/PLC to the external storage
device, while the CSV data is being edited. A write error is written to the [Status Address].

n If the cover of the CF Card slot is open or the external storage device is removed while CSV
data is displayed, the display is cleared.

n If the screen changes while CSV data is displayed, the display is cleared.

n There are two valid data formats for CSV data displayed in a Special Data Display [Show
CSV]. Data separated by commas [,]. And data in double quotation marks [""], separated by
commas [,].
For example, CSV format (Sampling data)

n Special Data Display [Show CSV] does not support the multiple line display. Data containing
line feed will not be displayed correctly.

n Only one Special Data Display [File Manager] can be placed per Base Screen. It cannot be
placed on a Window Screen.

n The Special Data Display [File Manager] cannot be scaled up or down.

n When using the GP3000 Series, LT3000 Series, or ST3000 Series, set both the X-coordinate
of the position of the Special Data Display [File Manager] and the width of the Special Data
Display [File Manager] in 4-pixel increments. If not set properly to 4-pixel increments, the
position is automatically adjusted to 4-pixel increments.

n You can display the Special Data Display [File Manager] part using a Special or Local
Window. If the maximum number of windows are already displayed, the File Manager does not
appear. Close other windows to display the [File Manager] display part.
12.9 Displaying Multiple Windows on a Single Screen

n When a text table changes, the Special Data Display - File Manager is closed.

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 181 of 184

n If there is more than one display switch for a Special Data Display [File Manager], and if you
touch another display switch while a File Manager is already displayed, the [File Manager]
window that is currently displayed closes.

n Files currently displayed on a Special Data Display - Show CSV cannot be deleted with a
Special Data Display [File Manager].

n If a full path (a folder name and a file name) exceeds 99 characters, files or folders may not
be displayed correctly in the Special Data Display [File Manager].

n If a file name or folder name contains a character after ASCII code 0x80, files or folders may
not be displayed correctly in the Special Data Display [File Manager].

n The Special Data Display [File Manager] display depends on the [System Settings], [Display
Unit], [Display Settings] tab's [System Language] setting. Depending on the language, file
names or folder names may not appear correctly. An error occurs if you transfer a file to a
folder that is not displayed correctly or if you try to perform a file operation in that folder.

n When using the IPC Series or SP5000 Series Open Box, the file manager list display will
automatically revert back to the root folder or specified default path if the contents of the
folder or file displayed in the file manager is updated.

Editing Restrictions

n The editing screen for a Special Data Display [Show CSV] displays via a Special or Local
Window. If the maximum number of windows are already displayed, the editing screen cannot
be activated. Close another window before editing the data.
12.9 Displaying Multiple Windows on a Single Screen

n On the same screen, do not draw a Special Data Display [Show CSV] with [Edit Data]
selected and a Historical Trend Graph with [Selected Time]. When drawn on the same screen,
only the first drawn part will work.

n You can edit up to 56 characters in a Special Data Display [CSV Display]. This limit depends
on the model and orientation.

n You cannot update CSV data by transferring from the device/PLC to the external storage
device, while the CSV data is being edited. A write error is saved to the [Status Address].

n When a text table changes, the editing screen will be automatically closed.

n Even when the [Interlock Address] state matches the [Touch Enable Condition] during editing,
editing can be performed. However, if editing is attempted again, the screen will not enter
Edit mode because the Interlock feature is enabled.

n Numeric values displayed on a Special Data Display [Show CSV] are displayed as text.
Therefore, the inputs are edited regardless of properties such as the number of display
digits, data length, and data type.

n Special Data Display [Show CSV] does not support a multiple line display. If the data
contains a line feed, it will become invalid on editing.

n While the edited data is being output to a CSV file, printing and editing modes are disabled.
Also, the system cannot be moved to off-line mode.

n Regardless of the Show Column settings, the column portion cannot be edited.

n When editing data, a temporary file is created on the external storage device. As a result,
free space equivalent to the size of the edited file must be available. You cannot edit the file

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 182 of 184

if this capacity is not available.

When editing data, the internal processing updates the file as follows.
For example, when editing "ZR00001.csv"

1. After pressing the [ENT] key, a temporary file (a file that reflects the editing results),
"_CSV$$_0.tmp" is created.
2. The original file name is changed from "ZR00001.csv" to "_CSV$$_1.tmp"
3. "_CSV$$_0.tmp" is changed to "ZR00001.csv"
4. "_CSV$$_1.tmp" is deleted.

If the power turns OFF during editing or if editing fails, temporary files may remain
on the external storage.

n When a Special Data Display [Show CSV] is rotated by 90 or 180 degrees, the editing screen
characters are not displayed properly. To place a rotated [Show CSV], set rotation to 0 or
270 degrees.

Restrictions for Printing

n The horizontal lines are not printed.

n You can print up to 160 characters per line. Characters that exceed the maximum are not
printed.

n The number of characters that can be printed on one line depends on the printer and paper
size. When the characters in a single line do not fit onto the paper width, the outputted
results will differ depending on the font and printer.

n Standard Font
When text does not fit the paper width, there are printers that do not print text outside
the paper width, printers that automatically insert line breaks to print all text from each
line, and printers that do not print properly.

n Stroke Font
Text that does not fit the paper width does not print.

n Regardless of the Show Column settings, the column portion will not be printed.

n When printing only the displayed portion, if the data in the right most cell extends beyond the
screen and is cut off on the Show CSV Display, that portion is also cut off on the printout.

n While printing, the data cannot be edited or printed. Also, the system cannot be switched to
off-line mode.

26.31.3 Restrictions on Transferring Filing Data

n When using external storage, refer to the following limitations.

5.6.3 Restrictions on External Storage Usage

n Up to 8999 folders can be registered. Only one folder can be stored in backup memory
(SRAM).

n The size of one folder can be up to the same size as the total capacity of the backup memory

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 183 of 184

SRAM when only recipes are stored.

Even when filing data is stored on an external storage device, regardless of the external
storage memory capacity, one folder must have a capacity equal to the backup memory's
(SRAM) maximum capacity.

n Up to 2048 files can be set in one folder.

n Up to 1650 blocks can be saved in one file. (The maximum number changes depending on the
Number of Files and Number of Data Items.)

n The maximum amount of data in one block is 10000 for 16-bit data, or 5000 for 32-bit data.
(The maximum limit depends on the number of files and number of blocks.)

n The more data transferred to the device/PLC, the more time it takes to complete the write
operation. The time from when transfer starts to when transfer is complete can vary from
several seconds to several minutes.

n While writing to a device/PLC, the display of Parts may not update properly or may become
slow. Screen changes and other operations may also become slow.

n If a screen change occurs during transfer, in order to read the screen information, it may take
some time to write to the device/PLC.

n If data exceeding the device range of a device/PLC is transferred, an error occurs and no
transfer is performed.

n Wait until a transfer completes before initiating another one. If a transfer is started before
the previous one ends, such as when an automatic transfer and manual transfer occur at the
same time, the second transfer operation may not be accepted.

n If a project transfer or changing to offline mode is performed while transferring data, the data
may not be transferred completely.

n Data in backup memory (SRAM) is erased on:

n Transfer Project (Send Project)

n Offline mode's [Initialize User Memory]

n Offline mode's [Initialize Backup SRAM]

n Do not duplicate an ID Number for the Special Data Display [Filing] on all screens

n The generated filing data cannot be used with other projects.

n When the following actions are performed after creating filing data in the external storage,
please re-save the filing data in the external storage.

n Save as a project name.

n Change/Add/Delete Device/PLC

n In Device-Specific Settings, add/delete Individual Display Unit.

n In Device-Specific Settings, edit the imported data.

However, if the [Transfer CF/SD Card Data] check box is selected in the transfer
settings, the latest data will be transferred without re-saving the data in the CF
Card/SD Card.

26.31.4 Enhanced Recipe Restrictions

file:///C:/Users/Eleinca/AppData/Local/Temp/~hhFF12.htm 12/20/2024
26. Recipes Page 184 of 184

n You can draw one Enhanced Recipe List and Enhanced Recipe Data List on one screen.

n If you draw the lists on a window screen, you cannot edit or refine search its recipe labels
and element values.

n The keypad for editing recipe labels and element values, and the keypad for entering refine
search conditions, are displayed in a special window or local window. If you are already
displaying the maximum number of windows, you cannot edit or refine search. Close the other
windows and try again.
12.9 Displaying Multiple Windows on a Single Screen

n When [Refine Search / Sort] is enabled in an enhanced recipe list, search results using the
system variable #H_RecipeControlSearch are also displayed in the enhanced recipe list. A
maximum 64 search results are displayed in recipe ID order.

n For information on the models that support [Refine Search/Sort], refer to the following.
1.5 Supported Features

n You cannot receive or import enhanced recipe data while editing element values.

n If one of the following parts are on the same screen, or on a loaded screen, as the Enhanced
Recipe List or Enhanced Recipe Data List, you will not be able to edit or display recipes.
(the feature is available for the Enhanced Recipe List and Enhanced Recipe Data List).

n Sampling Data Display (with the [Edit Data] check box selected)

n Special Data Display - Show CSV

n Do not run any of the following operations while editing recipe labels or
receiving/copying/deleting/saving/importing/exporting enhanced recipe data.

n Enter offline mode

n Transfer a project

n Turn off or reset the display unit

n Changing the security level while editing the Enhanced Recipe List or Enhanced Recipe Data
List will cancel the edit.

n In the [Common Settings] menu, if you set up different languages between the [Text Table]
screen's [Language Change] dialog box and the [Enhanced Recipe] screen, text in recipe
labels and text data may be garbled.

n When transferring/receiving or importing/exporting enhanced recipe data, the parts display

may not update properly or may be slowed. Screen changes and other operations may also
slow down.

n If the enhanced recipe data to import/export is in Float data format, a maximum of six digits
are read. If the value exceeds six digits, accuracy cannot be ensured beyond the sixth digit.
For example, for 10 digit Enhanced Recipe Data
1234567890 → 1.23457E+009 (1234570000)

n Importing/exporting enhanced recipe data to/from a destination folder with 100 or more files
slows down the process. Delete unnecessary files before import/export.
