Text Panel Hardware Manual
TheEZSeriesSetPoint Display Set PointDisplayPanels provide aman-machine
interface to your PLC automation system. The panels provide features such
as 5 user-defined pushbuttons with LED indicators, arrow adjust buttons, and
a built-in menu system. The panels communicate with a PLC using either RS-
232Cor RS-422A/485Aserial communication. Configuration software and panel
programming are covered in chapter 5 of this manual.
The panels allow you to configure up to 256 20-character text strings configured
as PLC Messages and Local Messages. Local Messages are internal panel
messages that the operator can scroll in a menu tree hierarchy. PLC Messages
are displayed when prompted from the PLC program. A PLC Message LED
illuminates whenever a PLC Message is being displayed. Either message type
can have up to three embedded data variables, one of which can be edited by
using the arrow adjust buttons.
Thepanels have sealedmembrane functionpushbuttons that allowyou totrigger
PLC actions with the push of a button. These pushbuttons are used for input
signals to the PLC. Each pushbutton can be configured to function as one of
three switch types:
• ALTERNATE—keeps its current state until the button is pushed
again
• MOMENTARY— is activated only while the button is being pushed
• PANEL SET AND PLC RELEASE —sets a bit in the PLC when
pressed and is reset by either the PLC program or by pressing the
button again.
The LCD display window supports two or four message lines that can display
up to 20 characters each. The messages are programmed using the EZSeries
SetPoint Display SetPoint Display PanelProgramming Software.Themessage
control type may be either static—text displays that have NO embedded data,
dynamic —text messages that include embedded data (READ access only), or
interactive —text messages that allow the operator to enter data, or change
values that are stored in the PLC registers (READ/WRITE access).
The EZSeries Set Point Display Set Point Display Panel is available in a variety
of models to suit your application. Key features are provided on page 10.
