Figure 3-1 ACU Controller Main Screen
Note that if several ACU Controllers are controlling an ACU-1000 via a network, all operators
will see, on their Main Screens, the changes made by each of the other operators. The Main
Screen changes based on the ACU-1000’s response to a request from the ACU Controller, and
all ACU Controllers linked to this ACU-1000 over the network receive these responses.
A number of special connection modes can be performed, including temporarily tying Net 1
and Net 2 together. See the ACU Controller manual for details.
Two message areas at the bottom of the Main Screen help guide the operator in controlling the
system and understanding its status.
The ACU Controller is also an excellent tool for system setup and configuration. See Section
2.13 of this manual and the ACU Controller Manual for details. See also Section 3.6.4 for
initial configuration assistance when only serial control is available.
