2. DESCRIPTION
2.1. Physical Description
The control module features a metal cabinet which houses the electrical and electronic components for the
programming system. The cabinet is supported by four rubber feet. The main power switch for the control
module is located on the rear panel of the control module.
The interface cable from the FFC terminating machine is connected to the control module with a circular plastic
connector (CPC) in the rear panel of the control module. The power cord also plugs into the rear panel.
The control panel on the front of the control module, shown in Figure 2, permits the operator to view and enter
information vital to machine operation.
Information is relayed to the operator through a display window on the control panel. The control module is
operated through a keypad on the front panel of the control module. This keypad includes two directional keys,
four function keys (F1 through F4), ten numeric keys, a RETURN key, a CLEAR key, and an ENTER key.
2.2. Control Panel Functional Description
(Figure 2)
A. Display
The display window consists of a two–line by forty–character alphanumeric LCD screen. The right half of
the display defines the current function of the four function keys on the front panel of the module. The left
half of the display describes the current mode of operation, displays data, and allows the operator to see
the data being entered.
B. ENTER and CLEAR Keys
While entering data into the control module, the operator can erase all digits typed
prior to pressing the
ENTER key by selecting the CLEAR key. Depressing the ENTER key informs the control module that the
last digit has been entered. Until ENTER is selected, typed digits will have no effect on the operation of the
control module.
