5. OPERATING THE MDC-370
5.1 SIGN-ON SCREEN
At power-on the Parameter/Status display will present a screen which details the
controller configuration, and all LEDs will be illuminated. The figure below
shows the configuration for a basic MDC-370 with a single Source/Sensor card, a
single Discrete I/O card and an RS-232 interface installed. Please refer to
Sections 2, 3 and 4 for a detailed description of the MDC-370 resources and how
to use them before attempting to operate the controller.
At this point, with the sign-on configuration information on the LCD screen and
all LED’s illuminated, pressing any key momentarily will put the controller into
the Abort mode. Within the illuminated keypad group, only the red LED behind
the Abort key pad will now be illuminated. Each digit position of the process-run
numerical LEDs will contain a 0-9 value. The information displayed by the LCD
screen will depend on what was being displayed when power to the controller was
last turned off.
Press the Reset key to put the controller into the Reset state in preparation for a
process-run.
