ION 7500 / ION 7600 User’s GuideDisplay Modules

Display Modules

A Display module controls which values are displayed on a display screen, and how these values are presented. Depending on your meter model, the Display modules vary slightly according to the inputs utilized and the setup register settings. Each Display module corresponds to one meter display screen.

ION 7600 Meters

The Display module’s Source inputs are linked to the numeric parameters you want to display. These parameters are sent to the front panel when the Display module’s Show input is pulsed.

The Display module’s setup registers determine screen type (e.g. numeric, event log, trend bar etc.), softkey name and number (if applicable), and screen title (if applicable) of each display. Many Display modules available in the meter are used in the factory configuration. You can alter some characteristics of the factory- configured displays by modifying the setup register of the Display modules.

The Display module’s setup registers determine how the Source data is presented on the front panel display. Depending on the display screen type, which is specified by the Screen Type setup register, you can use up to twenty Source links to a single Display module. This means you can show the values of up to twenty different sources on one front panel display screen. In addition, you can display harmonics, trending, and event logs (see the Screen Types column in the table below). For additional information about screen types, consult the section Display Screen Types in your meter’s user guide.
