INSTRUCTION MANUAL
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Product Overview
The 53IT5100B provides a suite of six operator displays to monitor process activity for up to four independent
process variables and also provides integration and totalization for each of the four process variables. The
displays are of three types: dynamic bar graph, digital readout, and alarm summary. There are three bar
graph displays, two digital readout displays, and one alarm summary display. These include:
 Quad Bar Graph Display (Channels 1-4) 
 Two Dual Bar Graph Displays (Channels 1&2 and Channels 3&4)
 Quad Process Digital Readout Display
 Quad Totalizer Digital Readout Display
 Alarm Summary Display.
The operator displays are paged forward or back, in the order given, by pressing the F2 (page forward) or the
F1 (page back) push button on the horizontal keypad of the instrument. The operator display suite is
illustrated in Figure 1-1 and the instrument horizontal keypad is identified in Figure 1-2.
Quad Bar Graph Display (Channels 1-4) - all four channels are arrayed across the display as bar graphs
with the digital readout and measured units of a selected bar graph in the lower quadrant of the display. A bar
graph digital readout with measured units is selected with the F3 push button, which moves a pointer to the
base of each bar graph in the display every time it is pressed. In the illustration, upper and lower alarm limits
appear with each 50 segment vertical axis. The measured units and alarm limits are selectable entries, as
well as the mode of alarm reporting (e.g., High/Low, High only, Low only, High/Hi-Hi, Low/Lo-Lo, or none).
Dual Bar Graph Display (Channels 1&2) - two channels are arrayed across the display as bar graphs with
the digital readout and measured units of each channel appearing beneath its bar graph. The channel tag
names appear in the upper quadrant of the display. Each 50 segment vertical axis has a numeric range and
alarm limits. The tag names, vertical axis numeric range (zero and span), measured units, alarm limits, and
alarm mode are all selectable entries.
Dual Bar Graph Display (Channels 3&4) - is identical to Dual Bar Graph Display (Channels 1&2) except it
displays process activity from channels 3 and 4.
Quad Process Digital Readout Display - is a process activity digital readout of all four channels
that is refreshed every second. The display is divided vertically into four quadrants, each one dedicated to a
channel. Each channel readout has a tag name, numeric value, and measured units field. The tag names and
measured units are identical to those selected for the bar graph displays.
Quad Totalizer Digital Readout Display - is an integrator accumulator digital readout of each of the four
channels that is refreshed every second. The display is divided vertically into four sections, each one
dedicated to a channel. Each channel totalizer has a tag name, accumulated value, and totalizer measured
units field. The tag names and measured units are selectable entries.
Alarm Summary Display - presents six alarm states relevant to the four input channels and two contact
inputs. The display has four partitions with the uppermost containing the display title. The word ALARM in the
title flashes should an alarm condition occur with any one of the channel inputs or if a contact input is
activated indicating an alarm. The specific channel or contact input in the alarm state is also differentiated
from the rest of the display coincident with the ALARM banner flashing in the title of the display. The four
channel inputs are listed together in the second partition, and partitions three and four are occupied by the
two contact inputs. All six tag names for this display are selectable entries. There are also selectable entries
that define how each contact input display message is differentiated from the others to indicate an alarm
state.
As shown in Figure 1-2, the 53IT5100 contains a graphical dot matrix display; horizontal and vertical keypads;
a MINI-DIN configuration port connector concealed behind the front panel pull-down door; terminals for signal
