Beep on Display
Each message, recipe, or menu screen can be configured to beep for two seconds
whenever it is initially displayed. This feature can be used as an attention-getting device.
To configure a screen to beep on display:
1. In the Special Effects group box, select the Beep on Display check box.
Startup Screen
One message, recipe, or menu screen can be designated as the startup screen. The startup
screen automatically appears whenever the OIT is powered up.
To configure a screen as the startup screen:
1. In the Special Effects group box, select the Start Up Screen check box.
Timed Display
Normally, each screen remains on the display until another screen is displayed or the
screen is cleared. However, the timed display attribute allows a message, recipe, or menu
screen to be configured so that it displays for a set amount of time, 1 to 255 seconds, after
which the prior screen is redisplayed. This could be used to display screens which should
only be shown for a brief period of time.
If the screens in a message/menu chain are configured for timed display, each screen in
the chain displays for the specified time and then the next screen in the chain is
automatically displayed. This feature allows the system programmer to create a series of
screens that can be continuously displayed without any keypress or request from the PLC.
NOTE:If the Screen Stack is enabled, then the timed display works differently. If several
screens with a timed attribute are in the screen stack, each screen is displayed for the
preset length of time, then the next screen in the stack is displayed. The last screen in
the stack remains on the screen regardless of whether or not it is configured for a preset
length of time.
To configure a screen for timed display:
1. In the Special Effects group box, select the Timed Display check box and enter the
number of seconds the screen should be displayed.
