A text/graphics display in the controllere enables a detailed system diagnosis. With the four keys the
device is easy to use. The bilingual structure of the menus and messages simplifies worldwide use of
this device family. An intelligent message management generates priority-based diagnostic and error
messages and supports the user during set-up.
Above the keys, the display dynamically indicates the corresponding functions.
After power-on of the controllere the device either displays a start screen with the
ifm
logo or - if
available - a list of the errors in the connected AS-i systems. The system menu can be accessed by
pressing the left [MENU] key.
