3.5 Engineer Mode
The controller parameters and path connections
are configured in engineer mode. Engineer mode
is also used to initiate the Easy-Tune sequence
(see Section 9.8). This mode is entered when the
mode push button is held pressed for an extended
period of approximately 3 seconds, at which time
the oPEr menu prompt appears in the green dro.
3.5.1 Engineer Mode Display Panel
The display panel functions for engineer mode are
described in Figure 3-4 as follows:

3.5.2 Engineer Mode Hieracrhical
Structure
Engineer mode is a hierarchical structure of nested
prompt layers that can be four levels deep; the
general order of selection is:
• Level 1, Menu - After engineer mode is ac-
cessed with the mode push button, each menu
prompt can be displayed sequentially by press-
ing the scroll forward pb. The menu prompts
are three major display panel paths: oPEr,
ProG, and conF. The ProG and conF paths
can each be protected with their own unique
pass-key. The three menu prompts are de-
scribed as follows:
1. oPEr (operator) - provides quick access
for operators to display and configure com-
mon parameters such as alarm limits,
deadband, etc. (This path skips level 2,
module described below.)
2. ProG (Program) - is selected to enter reg-
ister values, formula constants, and to
make path connections. Parameters en-
tered in this menu will force the controller
offline. It is used primarily by engineering
personnel.
3. conF (Configure) - is selected to configure
online database parameters; it is used pri-
marily by engineering personnel.
• Level 2, Module Select - used to select a spe-
cific controller functional element (e.g., the
prompt Ai.1 for analog input 1). The full path
name is indicated by menu-module (e.g., conF-
Ai.1). The module selection is skipped in the
oPEr menu path.
• Level 3, Parameter Select - used to select a
specific parameter from a list of module pa-
rameters (e.g., the parameter prompt SPAn un-
der Ai.1). The full path name is indicated by
menu-module- parameter (e.g., conF-Ai.1-
SPAn).
• Level 4, Edit - this is where a value is entered
for the displayed parameter or a selection from
a list of values or mnemonics is made.
3.5.2.1 Editing a Parameter
Figure 3-5 illustrates the steps to edit a parameter
in engineer mode. In the illustration a parameter
selection is made; some parameters require a nu-
meric value to be entered. The process to edit a
parameter is reiterative:
• When engineer mode is entered, the oPEr
menu prompt (level 1) appears in the green
dro. The menu prompts are scrolled and one
is selected.
• Selecting a menu prompt causes the first mod-
ule prompt (level 2) to appear in the yellow dro.
The module prompts of the selected menu are
scrolled and one is selected.
•
Selecting a module prompt causes the first pa-
rameter prompt (level 3) to appear; it replaces
the menu prompt in the green dro. The pa-
rameter prompts of the selected module are
scrolled and one is selected.
• Selecting a parameter prompt causes the first
edit entry prompt (level 4) to appear in the red
dro. An edit input list is scrolled and an item is
selected or a numeric value is entered.
