AEG Modicon Micro 84 - Programming Devices; P370 Programming Panel; P370 Program Pack

2.3 PROGRAMMING DEVICES
The principal peripheral devices which allow the user to interface with the
MICRO 84 Programmable Controller are the P370 Programming Panel and
the P371 MICRO 84 Program Pack.
2.3.1 P370 Programming Panel
The P370 Programming Panel incorporates a function keypad and a liquid
crystal display (LCD) in a rugged, compact case. This facilitates hand-held
operation at the controller site. The programming panel connects to the
MICRO 84 Controller and provides a simple method of programming the
user memory from a ladder diagram. The “language” used to program the
controller utilizes familiar relay symbols; there is no requirement to learn
a programming language. In addition, the LCD readout allows rapid and
easy system checkout and maintenance. See Section 6.
2.3.2 P371 Program Pack
The program pack incorporates a memory identical to the user’s portion of
the controller memory. Once a program is loaded into user memory, a copy
of that program can be loaded into the program pack for storage. The
program in user memory is left intact. Once the program pack is loaded
with a program, that program can be reloaded into the same MICRO 84 or
another one that is to perform the same functions. Loading a program into
the program pack is controlled using the P370 Programming Panel.
Loading a program into a MICRO 84 is controlled from the programming
pack. See Section 8.
NOTE
When recording and then reloading a program into the same
controller, remove the P371 Program Pack and then reinsert
it before loading the program. This procedure prevents the
occurence of false error conditions.
