Chapter 6: Information Mode
Information Mode is a utility that is embedded in the operating system of the controller. Via
Information Mode, you can view data on the LCD screen, use the controller’s keyboard to
directly edit data, and perform certain actions such as resetting the controller. You can enter
Information Mode at any time without regard to what is currently displayed on the LCD screen
Viewing data does not affect the controller’s program. Performing actions, such as initializing
the controller, can influence the program.
Note that when you use Information Mode, the keyboard is dedicated to that purpose. The keys
return to normal application functions when you exit Information Mode.
Using Information Mode
1. To enter Information mode, press the <i>button on the Vision’s keyboard down for
several seconds.
2. Enter your password. The default password is 1111. This password remains in effect
until you change it via the Information Mode screen described in the table below.
3. The controller enters Information Mode, showing the first category, Data Types.
Caution
• The controller will block entry into Information mode
until the correct password has been entered. This is why
you must record any password you set for your controller.
The data in Information Mode is arranged in Categories. Each Category contains several
Subjects. You navigate Information Mode by using the keyboard buttons as shown below.
To exit Information mode, press the <
ESC>button on the Vision’s keyboard. Each press
returns one level up. Press the number of times necessary to exit.
Note that when you reenter Information Mode, the controller will return to the last Category
viewed.
