2-4 Display Terminals
Note: In the remainder of this guide, the DX-9100 and DX-9120
controllers are referred to simply as DX controllers.
Display Configurations
Each DX LCD Display unit stores up to eight display configurations.
Different configurations customize the display as required for different
applications or situations. When defining a configuration you can
describe point names, point units, and digital (binary) state names, and
each configuration can indicate whether a specific point can be
commanded (adjusted or overridden) by the user of the display. Each
configuration specifies a graphical Home Page, allowing you to
display pictures such as a company logo or a system diagram. You can
map live data points to the Home Page as desired.
Each display configuration is identified by a configuration name and
configuration code. The configuration (i.e., application) stored in the
DX controller is also identified by a configuration code (also called the
User Config Code). When you attach the DX LCD Display to a
controller, the display unit attempts to match one of its stored
configuration codes with the User Config Code defined in the
controller configuration. If it finds a match, then the DX LCD Display
uses the corresponding display configuration. If it does not find a
match, it uses the default configuration.
In N2 Bus mode, the DX LCD Display unit matches the available
configurations to the DX controllers found on the bus.
Both DX controller configurations and DX LCD Display
configurations are defined using the GX-9100 Software Configuration
Tool, part of M-Tool. The configurations are then downloaded to the
controller or display unit through the serial interface.
