Circuit Diagram Elements Text Display
LCD Display
The LCD display can show up to 12 characters per line and up to 4
lines.
Variables
Actual values and setpoints of timing relays and counters, as well as
the current time, can be displayed in lines 2 or 3, character positions 5
to 8 (character positions 5 to 9 for time display). If you have entered
text at these locations, they will be overwritten by the variable values.
Enter a blank space as the placeholder, in order to continue text after
the variable display.
Function
The text display relays (D) function in the circuit diagram as normal
output instructions. All eight text display relays can be used
retentively.
If text is assigned to a text display, it will be displayed on the LCD if
the coil is set to 1. For this to happen, Pico must be in Run mode and
the status display must be showing before the text is activated.
The following conditions apply to D2 and D8:
Contacts Make Contact D
Break Contact D
Numbers 1 to 8
Coils D
Numbers 1 to 8
