Screen Overview

This section describes the available controller screens and their general use.

Main Screen

Upon power up, reset, or time out, the Main screen displays:

The Main screen is the first screen shown on the controller. The controller returns to the Main screen automatically if none of the keys are pressed during a 5 minute period.
The current time and date are displayed. The Rx (receive) and Tx (transmit) indicators show Serial communications activity (they are blank at other times). The RUN or HALT mode is displayed next to the time and day fields (see Setting Operating Mode under Advanced Operation Setup for more information about RUN and HALT modes). An asterisk (*) next to an E1, E2, or E3 indicates ethernet comms are being used.

NOTE: To assign a name for this controller, select “Menu” > “Setup” > “Controller” > “Controller Name”.

Accessing the Menu Screens

To view the MAIN MENU screen, follow these steps:

From the Main screen, select MENU.

The MAIN MENU screen displays:
From the MAIN MENU screen, select one of the available menus (Status/Control, Setup, or Advanced) to view.

The MAIN MENU screen provides navigational paths to all sub-menu screens. Navigate through these sub-menus to configure the controller. Each sub-menu is listed in .

Screen Access Levels and Sub Screens

Every screen and property has an assigned access level. An access level enables or disables access to certain controller screens and properties by preventing the cursor from selecting them.

NOTE: To control user access, an access code must be assigned to an access level. Once an access code is defined, login through the controller’s screens is needed.

EXAMPLE: Level 1 has an access code of 1234, and Level 2 has an access code of 9876. Login using 1234 to gain Level 1 access, or login using 9876 to gain Level 2 access. If incorrect codes are used, then the controller cannot be accessed. The controller will return to the main screen.

Level 1 is the highest access level. It provides access to all controller functions. Defining an access code for Level 1 is like setting a primary password for a controller. All Levels 1–3 must be set to 0000 (default) to disable access code protection. Once the Level 1 code is changed from 0000, the correct access code must be used to access the controller as a Level 1 user. Only Level 1 users may edit access codes.

The functions accessible by access level are as follows:

Level 1 (highest) — setting access codes, all setup functions, clearing counters, advanced functions
Level 2 — setting clock, access to overrides, schedules
Level 3 (lowest) — viewing status (no configuration)

NOTE: See Controller Screen Access Levels for the access levels and sub-screens.

If a lower-level access code is defined and a higher-level code undefined (0000), the defined lower-level code will inherit the undefined higher-level access permissions.

EXAMPLE: If an access code of 5555 for Level 2 is entered, but Level 1 remains as 0000, then Level 2 inherits Level 1 access permissions.

Three important points regarding controller access:

The Access Codes limit access to controller functions from the front panel of a controller only. Access codes are not required to use any LCS functions.
In addition to using Access Codes to limit access to specific functions from the controller’s front panel, disabling front panel access can be disabled altogether.
Passwords for the POWERLINK web pages are independent from the access codes for the front panel of the controller.

NOTE: To set each of the controller access codes (requires Level 1 access), see Setting Access Codes.
