To return to the Top Menu, press SELECT when the Return to Top Menu message is displayed.

DISPLAY STATUS MESSAGES

Messages can be sent to the LCD due to OMP-MODL operational conditions or User programmed Program Net conditions. To view the active messages; from the Top Menu, press NEXT five times and then SELECT while the Display Status Messages menu is displayed. Step through the messages with the NEXT button and return to the Top Menu by pressing SELECT when Return to Top Menu is displayed.

Depending on the inputs and programmed conditions within the currently executing Program Net, User programmed messages may come and go as the conditions for display are met then not met over time.

During execution of a Program Net, if the conditions (either OMP-MODL operational or User defined Program Net) are met for a message display (eg an alarm conditon occurs), the message will display on the LCD immediately... overwriting any current displays. Messages displayed on the LCD will not be cleared from the LCD when they become False, however they will be cleared from the internal display queue. Messages will only be cleared from the LCD if another message is displayed or if the User changes the LCD (via the Select/Next buttons) in any way. For additional information on message display capability from within a Program Net,, refer to the Message icon in Appendix A.

ERASE MEMORY (VIA DISPLAY SEQUENCE)

Data memory within the OMP-MODL and within an inserted PCMCIA card can be cleared via the SELECT and NEXT buttons. To clear memory, from the Top Menu, press NEXT six times until the message Erase Memory appears on the LCD. Then press SELECT a total of five times to clear the memory. Successful erasure of the memory is confirmed with a Memory has been Erased message.

Note that at any time during this sequence of SELECT button presses, pressing the NEXT button will abort the Memory Clear sequence and stored data will be preserved.

Internal OMP-MODL memory and PCMCIA card memory can also be cleared via a serial communication link. Refer to the Chapter 5 on HyperComm for details. Additionally, memory can be cleared using the STOP button (see details in the STOP button explanation in the MLCPU-1 section)

Status Lights

The Status lights on the ML-DISP duplicate the lights located on the end of the MLCPU-1 module (discussed in prior section MLCPU-1 Module).

Three light emitting diode (LED) lights are provided on the front panel, labeled STATUS, ALARM 1 and ALARM 2. The STATUS LED is merely a
