Micromod Micro-DCI: 53MC5000 Multi-Loop Process Controller Installation - Manual (Page 28)

3.1 CONTROLLER FRONT PANEL
3.1.1 DISPLAY
The Modular Controller contains a high visibility dot matrix display. It is possible to configure static
and/or dynamic data for application to specific displays. A detailed discussion of the various types
of displays can be found in section 4.2 of Instruction Bulletin 53MC5000.
3.1.1.1 ALARM ANNUNCIATION
If a process alarm occurs "ALARM" will begin flashing on the top line of the display. The alarm is
acknowledged by pressing the "MODE" pushbutton
3.1.1.2 ENGINEERING LINE
When the controller is in Engineering Mode described in Section 3.4 of Instruction Bulletin
53MC5000, the bottom line of the display can be used to display or change any of the controllers
parameters.
3.1.2 KEY FUNCTIONS
The operation of the 10 pushbuttons on the front of the controller (see Figure 3-1) depends on the
type of display currently selected. In general, the keys function as described below. Unless speci-
fied as an Engineering Mode function, the functions listed are for control mode.
R/L - This key is used by the POINT and GROUP displays to switch between REMOTE and LOCAL
setpoint modes.
SP Buttons - The setpoint pushbuttons are used to adjust the setpoint of POINT displays and to
highlight various selections in other displays. In Engineering Mode these keys are used to change
or set values.
A/M - This button is used by the POINT displays to switch between AUTOMATIC and MANUAL op-
eration.
OUT Buttons - The output pushbuttons are used by the POINT displays to adjust the output of the
controller when the controller is in manual. In Engineering Mode these keys are used to change or
set values.
MODE Button - The "MODE" button is used to turn off the alarm annunciator. If the alarm annuncia-
tor is not ON when the key is pressed, Engineering Mode is entered. Pressing the MODE key while
in Engineering mode will return the user to normal "Operator Mode".
F1 - The F1 key is normally used to either page back to the previous display or to step to the next
display group depending on how the display hierarchy has been configured. In Engineering Mode
the F1 key moves back to the previous menu level.
F2 - The F2 key is normally used to advance to the next display. In Engineering Mode the F2 key is
used to advance through the various choices (DISPLAY - CONFIGURE - PROGRAM).
F3 - The F3 key is used as an "ENTER" key by the Status, Parameter, and Summary displays to se-
lect the indicated menu choice. In the TWO LOOP display it toggles between the two loops.
In Engineering Mode the F3 key is used as an ENTER to choose the current selection or to com-
plete the entry.
