4.0 CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
The Sageon 200A is locally configured and operated from the operator panel. See the Sageview chapter
for remote configuration and operation. The operator panel is mounted at the top of the system.
The operator panel consists of a 2-line alphanumeric display, six push buttons with tactile feedback, three
status LEDs, and a USB communications connector. Menus, data, status/alarm messages, and parameter
values appear on the display. Display contents are selected using the six buttons. System status is also
shown by the three LEDs below the display. A USB-B port is provided on the left inside of the operator
panel for connecting a personal computer (PC). Operator panel operation, displayed data, and
communications are all controlled by the SCU (Sageon 200A Control Unit). The operator panel is the
Sageon 200A’s HMI (human machine interface).
Complete Sageon 200A configurations can be created at the operator panel. Alternatively, the system can
be configured from a personal computer (PC) running Sageview system monitor software. When the
system is initially powered, the configuration stored in the SCU provides the system operating
parameters. This configuration can be the default, factory-installed configuration or a configuration you
created on a PC and uploaded to the SCU. Table 4-1 lists the default values; note that some default values
will vary with customer specified equipment, such as the number of rectifiers installed. Many values are
user configurable and a column is provided in the table for recording of user-selected values.
To configure the system from the operator panel, review the screen sequences described in the following
sections and enter the requested data. To download a configuration to a PC or to upload a configuration
from a PC, refer to Chapter 5 Sageview. The SCU must be powered during any configuration efforts.
In this chapter, Sections 4.1 and 4.2 describe the “HOME” screen and use of the operator panel push
buttons. Sections 4.3 and 4.4 address the status LEDs and alarm messages. Sections 4.5 through 4.9
explore the menu options available for configuration and operation of the system.
