In addition to the built-in CF card interface, MONITOUCH is equipped with a USB interface for a CF card reader/writer, which can be used simultaneously. Since CF card data can be copied to another card while V8 is being used, the V8 performance will not be inhibited. These functions expand the versatility of MONITOUCH.

Recipe Data

Production conditions can be saved in a CF card in CSV format. For preparation of production, data can be read out from a CF card and written in the PLC. It is also possible to read out data from PLC.

Sampling

Production data and alarm history can be sampled and saved. Since the data is saved in CSV format, it can be easily edited in Excel.

Screen Data Transfer

Because screen data can be saved in a CF card and read into V8 at a production site by means of a CF card reader/writer, there is no need to bring your PC.

Data Delivery

While using a CF card as a built-in drive, the card data can be copied to another CF card via the USB interface. Sampling data and recipe data can be backed up easily while keeping the CF card in the slot.

FAT has some limitations. For example, a file name cannot exceed eight characters in length, and extensions must be within three characters. FAT32 allows a data file to have a longer file name, which improves compatibility with PCs.

A CF card can be used as an extension unit for editing the screen. You can design an impressive screen freely without having to worry about data capacity.
