Chapter 5 – Operator Interface
5.1 Interface Display Unit
The RS4203 has an easy-to-use interface display unit with a touch screen on the control panel, which
provides a simple and useful means of communication between the operator and the machine’s
processing unit. The CTC touch screen allows the operator to easily change a variety of timers, counters,
and ON/OFF functions within the programmable controller (PLC). This versatility permits fine tuning of the
RS4203 for a variety of applications. The touch screen allows the operator to achieve optimum
performance by providing the ability to compensate for any changes that might occur in a particular
product application.
Communication with the interface display unit is bi-directional. It not only requests and accepts
information from the operator, but also informs the operator of irregular conditions, warnings, and faults
that can occur during operation. An especially useful feature is the troubleshooting capability which is
integrated in the programmable controller and accessible through the interface display unit.
Caution: Do not use high pressure cleaning equipment on the operator interface control panel. Do not
use abrasive cleaners or abrasive scrub pads to clean the touchscreen. Hand wash the control panel with
a soft cloth or sponge and a light water spray. Cover the operator interface control panel with a plastic
bag during machine cleanup.
The section on the next page shows an illustration of the control panel with a description of the
pushbutton controls.
