Using the Function Display and Keyboard
You can examine position and tachometer values as well as inspect or program all of the
programmable parameters using the display and keyboard. The >FUNCTION@ key, along with the
>Ç@ and >Æ@ keys, are used to cycle between the displays. Figure 2.3 shows the display order.
Navigating in Display Mode
When compared to program mode, display
mode is easier to navigate. If you are unfamil-
iar with the module, learn how to navigate
between displays while in display mode.
Navigating in program mode will then be
easier to learn.
The >FUNCTION@ and >Ç@ keys cycle you
through the displays in one direction (Down in
the figure). The >Æ@ýcycles you through the
displays in the opposite direction. Note that
the display order is circular. Pressing the
>FUNCTION@ key while displaying the resolver
type parameter will return you to the position
display. Pressing the >Æ@ýkey will then return
you the resolver type parameter.
You will see either the PLC Program or the
Single Transfer Length display. The value of
the Transfer Type parameter dictates which
display is shown.
Navigating in Program Mode
The >FUNCTION@ key is still used to cycle
through the displays.
When you switch to a parameter display,
the first digit of the value will be blinking.
This shows the position of the Cursor. Use the
>Ç@ and >Æ@ keys to move the cursor and the
>▲@ and >▼@ keys to change the value of the
digit under the cursor. To quickly set most
parameters to zero, press the >CLEAR@ key.
Once the parameter value is correct, press the >ENTER@ key to accept it. The cursor is removed
from the display if the new value is valid.
The module will only accept valid values for the parameters. If the module does not accept
a value, it will return the display to the last valid number and move the cursor to the first digit.
The valid range for many parameters is based on the values of other parameters. If the module
does not accept a new value, check the other parameter settings.
Pressing the >FUNCTION@ key at any time will remove the cursor and the module will display
the last valid setting for the parameter. You can then use >FUNCTION@ñý>Ç@ñ or >Æ@ keys to
move to the next or previous display.
These displays are repeated for each transducer.
Press the [NEXT] key to cycle through the channels.
