adjustments
Converting product series of a project file
[Procedures]
1. Be sure to take a backup of the project file.
2. Launch WindO/I-NV4 with Ver. 2.2.0 or later.
3. Open the project file. (If the project file is not found, then please upload thefile from MICRO/I.)
4. Click on the Change Product Series on the status bar, which is at the bottomof the WindO/I-NV4 window.

5. Select the "HG2J-7U" from the Product Series list.

6. Click the "OK" button.

Afterward adjustments
5.2.1 Serial port

[Summary]
When a project file with the interface setting on the serial port COM2 (RS232C)
is converted from HG2G-V series to HG2J-7U series, the COM2 (RS232C)
settings are deleted. This triggers the deletion of both communication driver
settings specified for COM2 (RS232C) and the corresponding device address inthe project file.
To inherit the COM2 (RS232C) settings, move the COM2 (RS232C) settings to
COM1 before converting the product series of a project file.
Example of COM2 (RS232C) settings not being inherited(COM2 setting was not moved to COM1 before the conversion)

[Important Note]<Detail>Assume a user moved COM2 (RS232C) settings to COM1 before the productseries conversion to inherit COM2 (RS232C) settings of HG2G-V series to
HG2J-7U series. If "RS422/485 2-wire" or "RS422/485 4-wire" is selected for
the Serial Interface setting in COM1 of the Communication Interface tab, whichis in the Project Settings dialog, the corresponding settings will be deleted oncethe product series of the project file is converted.

5.2.2 Project Data Size

[Summary]
When a project file for the HG2G-V series is converted to the HG2J-7U series,
the project data size of the HG2J-7U series may exceed the maximum size. If thesize of the project data exceeds the maximum size, it cannot be downloaded to
the HG2J-7U series. Therefore, the size of the project data must be adjusted
before the download. Please make adjustments such as saving the image file tothe external memory to reduce and keep the project data size under the limit.
The size of the project data can be checked from the Project Details tab of the
Project Settings dialog box.

21

(Example) Save the image data registered in the Picture Manager to external
memory to reduce the size of the project.

5.2.3 Screen Size

[Summary]
The HG2J-7U series screen size (aspect ratio) is different from that of the
HG2G-5T and HG2G-V series. When the project file's product series isconverted, the size of each drawing and part is automatically converted to the
HG2J-7U series screen size.

(aspect ratio)[Important Note]<Detail>
The HG2J-7U series dot pitch width is slightly longer than that of the HG2G-5T
and HG2G-V series, so the width of parts and drawings appear longer.
<Solution>
Adjust the width of the target parts or drawings on WindO/I-NV4 edit screen.
Then download the project file to the HG2J-7U series and check the width.
The dot pitch is not "1.076 : 1" on WindO/I-NV4 edit screen, so be sure to
download and check the appearance on the MICRO/I.

Please design the application system so that there will not be a problem even if
the startup of the display is delayed by 10 seconds. The black screen is displayed
by default during the startup. Users may display an alternative image by using the"Display a Picture at Startup" function.
"Display a Picture at Startup" can be found in the System tab of the Project
Settings dialog box in WindO/I-NV4. Please set the checkbox to ON and import
the image of choice to be displayed.

[Restriction]
The maximum image size that can be used is 800 x 480 dots and 1,160,000
bytes.

(*2) If the "Stroke" font is used in the project file and the project file getsconverted to HG2J-7U series, then the font gets replaced with the pre-loaded
font "Western".
(*3) "16x16" can only be set on the following parts of the HG2G-5T and HG2GV series:
・ Numerical Input
