Menu Navigation

The UniLinc

The front-end control allows the user to control machine operation by pressing keypads to select options on the display menus and by navigating between display menus.

The control has four ways to navigate to program, edit, and select items in menus

Menu Navigation on a Single Screen

The Menu Navigation on a single screen displays a list of items arranged either left to right and/or top to bottom on the screen. A highlighted box shows the selected item in the menu. Press the directional arrow keypads to move the highlighted box between choices.

Press the keypad to select an item. Press

the keypad to turn an item on or off.

NOTE: In Cycle Menu, the highlighted box remains in the center, and the cycles scroll as the directional keypads are pressed.

Menu Navigation with Parameters

Another type of menu similar is a menu with

modifiable parameters. The and keypads are used to navigate through the screens. The

and keypads are used to change the valve of the highlighted item.

An example is the Temperature Menu under Global Setup. The menu items are positioned vertically, but

the and keypads are used to navigate

through the different items while the and keypads are used to adjust the values.

Screen to Screen Navigation using the Arrow Keypads

In Screen to Screen Navigation, the or

keypad are used to go from one menu page to the next (i.e., moving from Alarms [1 of 3] Menu to Alarms [2 of 3] or Alarms [3 of 3] menus), if a menu cannot fit entirely on the same page. The Laundry Management Menu uses this navigation method.

Navigation

The Edit Mode is used when a letter or numeric value has to be modified or created. The highlighted box is

moved over the editable item and the keypad is

pressed. The mode can be verified by seeing the first character in the item with a blinking underscore underneath. The character can then be changed by

using the and keypads.

For example, the Cycle Name can contain the capital letters “A” through “Z”, small letters “a” through “z”, the numbers “0” through “9”, and special characters. The user can go forward to the next character in the

item by using the keypad. Press the keypad to go backward a character. If the first

character in the item is selected and the keypad

is pressed, the cursor will go to the last character of the item. Thus, the cursor will move only within the item when the horizontal keypads are pressed.

Another example of the edit mode is when the user is programming the time. In the edit mode when programming a time, the only characters that can be

selected are “0” through “9” when using the

or keypad.
