A.17 OL3440 Display Panel
The OL3440 Display Panel is a 4 line x 20 character LCD display. You can send text
to any line.
A.17.1 OL3440 Configuration Options
The OL3440 panel is configured through the Configure I/O menu command in the
PointeControl development framework. (For more information on Configure I/O,
see page 118.) Selecting an OL3440 panel and clicking the I/O button opens the
OL3440 I/O Map dialog window…
This tab controls to four lines of the LCD on the OL3440 panel. The lines on the
panel are numbered 1 through 4, from top to bottom. Each line is mapped to a
separate 20-character String variable.
To configure a Line, click the
to the right and select a String variable from the
pop-up menu. Each variable can be used only once.
Lines can be set and changed independently of each other; text does not wrap
from one line to the next. To display text on the panel, use String commands
(Flow Chart or Ladder Block) to write the desired text to the associated String
variables.
NOTE: You can leave any or all Lines unconfigured, but if you do, those I/O points
will not be available to your project.
When you have finished configuring the panel, click OK to save your changes and
close the window.
