Figure 10-3- Application Setup (RX version shown)

The Application Setup screen is where you will enter information about the types of devices on the E2’s control system. If you know how many applications will be needed, this step will save you time and will keep you from having to create new applications during the setup process. (Options will vary depending on the type of con- troller used.)

NOTE: You must create at least one applica- tion in this screen to continue to the next screen, even if you are only using this E2 to

control applications not listed on the screen. If neces- sary, you can create one application here and delete it later.

When finished, press  (NEXT) to go straight to the Main Status (Home) screen.

Figure 10-4- Home Screen (RX version shown)

The Main Status screen is the “home” screen for the

E2. When no one is logged in to the controller, this is the screen that will be shown in the display. When a user is logged into the controller, the Home screen is displayed when the user is not performing any actions such as appli- cation setup, viewing other status screens, etc.

The Home screen will vary depending on the configu- ration of the controller. In most cases, the Home screen will show the real-time status of the most fundamental sys- tems being controlled by the E2.

The Home screen is a good place to point out three important common elements of all E2 screens: the screen header, the function key descriptions, and the help line.

Options will vary depending on the type of controller used. For more information on the E2 Home screen including options for both RX and BX versions, see Sec- tion 12.1, The E2 Home Screen.
