Display for Destination Entry
The keypad operator starts by pressing the ENTER key. The present
destination is displayed between the >>––––>> symbols as shown in Figure
6.3. The flashing >> symbol prompts the operator for a new destination
number, followed by another ENTER keystroke. After the second ENTER,
the new destination is mapped directly into the destination word.
When the destination number is entered, its corresponding destination bit
will be ON and all other destination bits are OFF. If destination “5” is
entered, then the 5th destination bit is on and all others off. The PLC
program can utilize that “ON” bit to MOV, GET, or PUT data to/from the
appropriate timer, counter, memory location, etc.
The DELETE key and Minus (–) key can be used during destination entry.
Depress the DELETE key to delete one character at a time. Depress the
MINUS (–) key to abort destination entry.
A programming example of the destination function is presented in Chapter
7, Page 7–9.
The Keypad Module stores up to 120 (16–character) messages in EEPROM.
Refer to Page 6–2 for ASCII Message information. You create, store and
edit the messages with an external keyboard. A message is displayed when
the program calls the storage identification number assigned to the message.
Refer to Page 7–1 for more information.
There are two methods of entering messages:
•
IBX–XT/AT style keyboard
•
IBM PC or compatible with Keypad Programming Software (Catalog
Number 2705–ND1). The user’s manual provided with the software
describes how to enter messages using this method.
Keyboard
You enter messages into the module with an IBM–XT/AT or compatible
keyboard. The keyboard plugs into a round 5–pin DIN receptacle on back of
the Keypad Module. Figure 6.4 shows the location of the receptacle and
Figure 6.5 shows pin locations.
