Status information:
Top: The top line of the LCD display shows the basic status information of the drive:
− LOC indicates that the drive control is local from the DCS Control Panel.
− REM indicates that the drive control is remote, via local I/O or overriding control.
− indicates the drive and motor rotation status as follows:
DCS Control Panel display
Rotating arrow (clockwise or
counter clockwise)
Drive is running and at setpoint
Shaft direction is forward or reverse
Rotating dotted blinking arrow
Drive is running but not at setpoint
Start command is present, but motor is not
running. E.g. start enable is missing
− Upper right position shows the active reference, when in local from DCS Control Panel.
Middle: Using parameter Group 34, the middle of the LCD display can be configured to display up to three
parameter values:
− By default, the display shows three signals.
− Use DispParam1Sel (34.01), DispParam2Sel (34.08) and DispParam3Sel (34.15) to select signals or
parameters to display. Entering value 0 results in no value displayed. For example, if 34.01 = 0 and 34.15
= 0, then only the signal or parameter specified by 34.08 appears on the DCS Control Panel display.
Bottom: The bottom of the LCD display shows:
− Lower corners show the functions currently assigned to the two soft keys.
− Lower middle displays the current time (if configured to do so).
