8-1 Program Setup
Programs can be set up when the DCP301 is in the basic display state. This is sometimes referred to as “program-
ming” in this manual.
If the DCP301 is not in the basic display state, press DISP to set the controller to the basic display state.
Programming can be carried out more easily if the details of the setup are entered to a program chart before starting
programming.
■ How to enter program setup
● Key operation
Press FUNC + PROG in the basic display state to enter program setup.
In the program setup state, the PRG LED on the console lights, and the decimal points in
the program No. display and segment No. display light. However, note that the DCP301
does not enter the program setup state in the following cases:
- When in the constant-value operation mode (when constant-value operation data
M . O d e setting is 1)
- When key lock is active (variable parameter L O C is set to 2 or 4)
Also, the setup cannot be changed even if the DCP301 is in the program setup in the
following case:
- When the program is protected (variable parameter P R t C is set to 1)
● Display start items
When the DCP301 enters the program setup state, display starts from the program No.
and the segment No. pattern item.
■ Selecting the program No. to set up
There are two ways of selecting the program No. to set up.
- Selecting the program No. before entering program setup
- Selecting the program No. after entering program setup
● Selecting the program No. before entering program setup
To select the program No. press PROG or if the DCP301 is in the basic display state
in the READY mode.
The program No. cannot be selected on the DCP301 when selecting the pro-
gram No. by external switch inputs.
For details, see 6-3 Program Selection (page 6-7).
● Selecting the program No. after entering program setup
Each press of FUNC + PROG in the program setup state increments the program No. When
19 is reached, the program No. returns to 1. Likewise, each press of FUNC + decrements
the program No. When 1 is returned to, the program No. advances to 19.
However, note that when setup values are being entered (setting value is blinking) during
program setup, press
ENT first to quit entry of values and then press FUNC + PROG or
FUNC + to change the program No.
