4.6 DISPLAYS 13 TO 20 - PARAMETER MODULE DISPLAYS

Parameter Module Displays provide access to any datapoint for display or configuration purposes
without entering engineer mode. Each display allows access to view and/or alter three parameter
datapoint values in operator/control mode. As shown in Figure 4-11, a Parameter Display has
seven information lines. There is a tag name at the top of the display. Beneath the tag name are
three descriptive point names. Both the tag name and the descriptive point names can be legends
that are 10 character each. Under each point name is a point value. If the Parameter Display is
for viewing purposes only, there is a Modify Disable datapoint (e.g., L312 for Parameter Display
module 0, see Table 5-11) that can be set when the Parameter Display Module is configured to pro-
hibit altering all three of the displayed parameter point values in operator/control mode.

When modifications to the parameter values are allowed (Modify Disable = 0), a selector arrow ap-
pears to the left of one of the three point names. The selector arrow can be positioned at any of
the three point names with the setpoint up/down push buttons. Pressing the F3 push button copies
the point value under the selected point name to an edit line that appears at the bottom of the
screen. New data values are selected on the edit line with the setpoint up/down push buttons
which scroll through the controller character set. After each character is selected, it is shifted left
with the output decrease push button so that a space exists on the edit line to enter another charac-
ter using the setpoint push buttons. When the entire character string is completed, the F3 push but-
ton is pressed again to enter the string into the parameter point value under the point name that
was selected. This procedure is summarized in Table 4-5. The edit procedure is abandoned if the
F1 push button is pressed instead of F3. The R/L and A/M push buttons are not applicable for the
Parameter Module Display.
