Introduction

Numeric Keypad
On the right hand side of the front panel there is a 12-button numeric key-
pad. Depending on the mode the controller is in, this keypad can be used
for numerical data entry or controlling the manual JOG mode.
For details on using the keypad for jog control see Section 2, Local Mode.
1.3.5.4
Function Keys / Display
The central part of the front panel is occupied by a large display and four
function keys. The display is a six-line back-lit LCD which shows both menu
and status information.
Below the display are four function keys. Their context-sensitive functions
are always given on the bottom line of the display window.
The contents of the display window are described in detail in Section 2.

Display Configuration
1.3.6.1
Display Organization
The display has six lines with a maximum of 30 characters each. For better
visibility, the characters are bright on a dark background. Information is
highlighted using dark characters on a bright background.
On the right of the function keys, 2 screws permit to adust the contrast and
the brightness of the display.
CAUTION
Saturation brightness reduces the display lifetime.
Thebottom line of the display, line number 6, is reserved exclusively for
defining the four function keys.
The next line up, line number 5, is primarily used to display messages, defi-
nitions or other helpful information. It generally displays information in
reverse mode.
Fig. 1.8
— Typical display contents.
In the above example, line number 6 displays the current function of the
function keys and line number 5 informs us that the controller is idle, wait-
ing for the operator to select an action.
Lines number 1, 2, 3 and 4 identify the axis number and display the current
position of each. Note that in the example, the controller detected that
there is no motion device connected to axis number 4 and displays the
message Unconnected.
When the controller is in some modes (
,
, etc.), the first
four lines will display specific information while the fifth one will be
reserved for helpful messages.
