On the PX 30 and PX 120, a variety of settings can be made in respect of:
• Coding
• The number of digits transmitted in parallel in BCD-Mode
• The number of inputs used (on PX 120 only)
• Scroll function
• Text display address
• Character set
• Default text on power-up.
Default Setting
Binary-coded
PX 30: 2 digits
PX 120: 4 digits
24-input mode
Both lines are scrolled
Address 1
IBM character set
"PX 30, Version x.xx"
or
"PX120, Version x.xx"
Explanation
Data transmission is either binary or
BCD-coded
The number of BCD-digits per cycle can be
established by means of a configuration
instruction.
Advantage: You can reduce the number of
inputs to the number required for the
application, thereby saving PLC outputs.
The number of BCD-digits transmitted in
parallel is geared to the number of data
inputs connected (4/8/12/16). If only 4 data
inputs are connected, it will not be possible
to transmit ASCII-coded variables!
You can select between 24 and 16-input
mode. If 16-input mode is selected, inputs
E8 ... E15 will have no function.
Advantages: One PLC-program to drive 16
inputs is sufficient for applications in which
either a PX 120 or PX 30 can be used. You
will also save 8 PLC outputs.
You can select between scrolling both lines
of the display or just the second line. You
can scroll upwards as far as the first line
and downwards as far as the last line. If
both scroll inputs are driven simultaneously
the display will return to the start of the text.
Addresses 1 to 31 can be set. Address 0
will automatically be changed to Address 1.
You can select either the IBM or the Cyrillic
character set.
The default message which appears on the
display after power-up can be replaced by
another message created by the user.
