Technical Description
10 Operation
The main menu consists of a ”Home Screen” and the main menu entries, which split up into the
different menu levels. Operating modes are displayed on the Home Screen, e.g., the current
operating mode, performance, etc. (see section 10.6 ”Display Messages (Overview)” (page 87)).
The menu consists of a main menu and a maximum of two sub-menu levels (see section 10.1 ”Menu
Structure” (page 77)).
Use the up and down arrow buttons to navigate through the menu levels. The cyclical arrangement
(wrap around) allows you to scroll both forward and backwards to access the desired menu as
quickly as possible.
When the desired menu is reached press the <ENTER> key in order to activate it. The <ESC> key exits
the menu and puts you one menu level up.
The Sunny Island utilizes an operation concept referred to as
”Single Point of Operation”
. For a
system with more than one device, all entries are made on the master. There you configure the entire
system, confirm events, warnings and errors in the QCG (see section 8 ”Initial Start-up” (page 66)),
and update your firmware when required (see section 11.6 ”Updating the Firmware” (page 98)).
Exception:
when starting the device for the first time, you must set the slave devices as slaves in the
QCG, and everything else is performed by the master.
Fast Access to Menus
If you would like to access sub-menu 7, go backwards starting from ”1” over ”9”, instead
of going six steps forwards.
Switching to the ”Home Screen” after Inactivity
If you do not press any buttons for more than five minutes (inactivity), the Home Screen is
automatically displayed.
Background Illumination
The background illumination is automatically deactivated after a short time of inactivity.
You can switch the background illumination back on by pressing one of the four buttons.
No settings are changed when you press the button, this only activates the display
illumination.
Button Sound
The button sound is switched on by default. To deactivate it, set the ”250.04 BeepEna”
parameter to off. If ”250.04 BeepEna” is set to off, the Sunny Island does not alert faults
and errors with an acoustic warning signal.
Slave Devices Wait for Commands from the master Devices.
Slave devices must wait for commands from
the master devices. The following message is
displayed during this time.
