Configure Auto Display 425
Configure Auto Display
Use the Configure Auto Display block to enable and configure up to six
fields that appear in the runtime display. The runtime display is an
informational display that is constantly updated while the motion
controller operates.
The selected fields appear in the runtime display from left to right on a
single line, in the order in which they are defined in the Configure Auto
Display dialog box.
The runtime display can appear either in GML Commander’s Terminal
Window (via serial port A), or independently in a separate operator
interface (via serial port B). Make this selection in the Interface page of
the Configure Control Options dialog box, along with the setting for the
runtime display refresh rate.
When DH-485 is selected in the General page of the Configure Control
Options dialog box, serial port B on the motion controller is used for DH-
485 communication making the normal built-in operator interface
functions of GML Commander and the motion controllers unavailable.
The Configure Auto Display block resides on the RS-232/422 Palette.
Configuring Runtime Display Fields
You may elect to display any one of five different display types in each
one of the six available runtime display fields:
• Axis Status
• Numeric Value (variables and expressions)
• Global Fault
• System Fault (1394 motion controllers, only)
• Axis Fault
