Using the Micro800 Remote LCD Chapter 8
Text Display Mode
In text display mode, you are either in I/O Status, Main Menu, or executing
Remote LCD instructions.
Startup Screen
On powerup, the Remote LCD module powers up with a splash screen that
displays "Initializing". Then, it displays "Connecting to Controller" until the
connection is established. The controller then displays the startup screen for
3 seconds by default or user-defined duration after the connection is established.
The user can customize this startup screen through Connected Components
Workbench. The controller displays the default startup screen at powerup when
the customized startup screen is blank.
Using the USB port is convenient when accessing the controller from the
front of the cabinet without opening the door and when the IP address is
unknown. For larger programs, it is recommended to use USB port
through the Remote LCD to set the IP address and then use Ethernet to
download. Ethernet is faster due to limitations of the USB to serial
conversion.
