Changing the active program
Based on the display of the program number (see previous chapter) the active program can be
changed.
Therefore that program appears on the display, that should be processed as a new active pro-
gram.
If this query is also confirmed with
(long) the program change takes place.
From that point on the outputs of the LOCON are determined by the new, active program.
7.6.1
External program selection via plug connector
A program change can also be made via the plug connector. For this purpose the desired pro-
gram number (0..3) is applied at the pins “program selection 1“ and “Program selection 2“ in
binary code (see chapter "Connecting the external program selection").
These pins have to stay connected until a new program is supposed to be selected, as
with every change of the connection a new program selection is carried out.
The program change is also carried out in the normal mode. The command by hardware, how-
ever, is always identified and saved in case LOCON is not in the normal mode that moment.
7.7
Selecting the output number
Should cams be displayed, added or deleted, always the same procedure is carried out:
1)
Select the desired program
2)
Select the desired output
3)
Carry out the manipulations of the cams
The selection of the program occurs according to chapter "Displaying the active program".
From this point on the desired output is selected by pressing the key
.
The selected output in form of "Axx" appears on the display. At first the output 1 ("AO1) is always
shown {default}.
With the keys
or
the desired output can be adjusted now.
Analogous to the program adjustment the LEDs "On" and "Off" also flash in that mode at the
same time, if cams already exist on the displayed output. So the outputs, to which cams are pro-
grammed, can be determined very fast within a program.
By renewed pressing the key
it is switched to the cam display mode, which is described
more detailed in the following chapters.
7.8
Displaying existing cams
With the help of the described procedure in the previous chapter the operator reaches the mode
"Display of existing cams".
At first the starting point of the first cam is displayed, that is signalized by a flashing of the LED
"On". Is none of the cams programmed, a blank-cam appears instead ("- - -").
