Viewing Several Loops: Bar Graph Display

When you connect power to the MLS, it displays general symbolic
information for loops 1-8. This display is called Bar Graph mode. The
next figure shows a picture of the Bar Graph display.

This table explains the symbols on the top line of the Bar Graph display.

The next table explains the symbols you see on the bottom line of the
Bar Graph display and in the Single Loop display. These symbols
appear when the controller is in both dual output mode and single output
mode. If the process goes into alarm, the controller automatically
switches to Single Loop display and shows an alarm code.
