The attractively designed LCA 042, incor-
porates many interesting features. One
of the successful LCA series of text dis-
plays.
Text displays are not exotic addons, but tools, with
which you can considerably improve the service
quality of machines and systems. Text displays
■ avoid malfunctions,
■ indicate how faults can be eliminated,
■ provide operator guidance,
■ give important set-up information,
■ show what the machine is currently doing,
■ support maintenance and servicing,
■ issue instructions for carrying out adjustments,
■ combine variable values with fixed texts
LCA text displays save time and money. Neither
designers nor production personnel can do without
text displays. Therefore they are part of the standard
equipment of every machine.
With the LCA 042 text display you can invoke up to
200 messages. It can be driven by any programmable
con-troller or by individual contacts or proximity
switches.
All text displays are unobtrusive and have an unmi-
stakable appearance. LCA text displays are functional,
well-designed units that can be integrated harmoni-
ously into your machines.
