MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC T-60 - Manual (Page 10)

T-60 Overview
The T-60 Operator Interface Terminal allows you to set up and operate
EMERSON EMC positioning servo drive products. The T-60 provides overall
control and operator interface for any type of controller or computer which
needs an easy to use, intelligent operator interface.
With a T-60 an operator can view and change machine parameters or follow
instructions to perform operations. Operators do not have to set switches,
thumbwheels or indicator lights. A back-lit 8 line by 40 character
“super-twist” LCD display and a large full-travel 30 key waterproof keypad
prompts and “listens” to the operator through machine operations. By
programmming the Help functionkey, operators have as little or as much
“HELP” information as required. The T-60’s LCD screen displays TEXT or
GRAPHICS providing the operator with block diagrams, flow charts, wiring
diagrams and statistical information.
For machine control, the T-60 provides 8 lines of parallel I/O, two serial ports
(one is software configurable to be either RS-232 RS-422, or RS-485), and 8
timers to facilitate machine monitoring and control functions. All I/O’s are
optically isolated and designed to be extremely noise tolerant.
Included with the T-60 is a disk containing the ApplicationBuilder; a PC DOS
program which allows you to quickly generate programs for the T-60. The
ApplicationBuilder generates BASIC programs from simple menu selections
and direct screen entry of text. It consists of three components:
• BUILDER - converts menu selections and direct screen text entry into
BASIC code
• EDITOR - performs text editing of BASIC or other ASCII files
• TERMINAL EMULATOR - performs “dumb” terminal operation to talk
to the T-60.
Integrated into all ApplicationBuilder functions is an UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD
capability and a comprehensive, context sensitive HELP system.
Functional Description
The T-60 is housed in a rugged cast housing which can be flush mounted to an
equipment panel. A full gasket and a rigid mounting system forms a water tight
seal about the opening. The display is sealed and the keypad is constructed of a
water tight silicone rubber. If being water tight is not critical to your application,
the T-60 can be wall mounted with supplied brackets.
The keypad on the front of the T-60 is organized into three color coded
groups:
WHITENumeric Entry
BLUE Action - CURSOR, ENTER, INSERT, DELETE, HELP
YELLOW Function Keys
