2
The table setting tool is software to set the function and operation of the "PLC software for general equipment
control (Ver.2)." This tool is used to create setting files that contain such settings as input/output-related settings
and output method settings for each facility. These files are then written in on the ATA card and are used by the
PLC for general equipment control to perform its control functions (Interlock control). No settings with the table
setting tools are required if the PLC software for general equipment control is used only for general equipment
control and schedule control without the interlocking control function being used, unless changes to the
operating output format to the general equipment are made.
