PICUS is the PC programming and monitoring tool, available from DEIF free of charge. The operator can connect a computer
with PICUS to the controller by using a direct connection. The operator can then log into the controller. When the operator
logs on, they can use PICUS to monitor operation, send commands that correspond to the push-button actions, manage
alarms, and see or change the controller configuration. *
See the PICUS manual for more information about how to monitor and change the controller configuration using
PICUS.
* Both the display unit and PICUS are controlled by user level permissions which grant or restrict access to features of the
controller. Some features or functions may not be accessible to an operator depending upon the design of the controller
permissions.
