PROGRAMMORE INFO
*
Some parameters on some controllers have dependencies on other param-
eters. This means that the available settings for one parameter may be dependent
on the limits of another parameter. For example, your controller may not allow
the reverse speed to be set below the Mode 1 minimum speed. In this example,
if you attempt to reduce the reverse speed below the M1 minimum speed, a
message will be displayed indicating that the minimum reverse speed is depen-
dent on the M1 minimum speed.
The Program Menu is presented at the end of this section. NOTE: Some items
may not be available on all models.
In the Test mode, accessed by pressing the TEST key, real-time information is
displayed about the status of the inputs, outputs, and controller temperature. For
example, when the status of the reverse input is displayed, it should read
“On/Off/On/Off/On/Off” as the switch is repeatedly turned on and off. In the
Test mode, the item of interest does not need to be the top item on the list; it only
needs to be among the four items visible in the window. The Test mode is useful
for checking out the operation of the controller during initial installation, and also
for troubleshooting should problems occur.
The MORE INFO key, when used in the Test mode, causes additional infor-
mation to be displayed about the selected item (top line in the window).
The Test Menu is presented at the end of this section. NOTE: Some items
may not be available on all models.
In the Diagnostics mode, accessed by pressing the DIAGNOSTICS key, currently
active faults detected by the controller are displayed.
The MORE INFO key, when used in the Diagnostics mode, causes additional
information to be displayed about the selected item.
A list of the abbreviations used in the Diagnostics display is included at the
end of this section.
The Special Program mode allows you to perform a variety of tasks, most of
which are self-explanatory. Through the Special Program Menu, you can revert to
earlier settings, save controller settings into the programmer memory, load the
controller settings from the programmer into a controller, clear the controller’s
diagnostic history, adjust the contrast of the programmer’s LCD display, select the
language to be displayed by the programmer, and display basic information
(model number, etc.) about the controller and the programmer.
