EXCEL 50 MMI - USER GUIDE ABOUT THIS USER GUIDE This User Guide describes operation of the Excel 50 MMI for configurable applications with Version 2.05 (or higher) firmware. It focuses on changes in operation with respect to Version 2.04.
EXCEL 50 MMI - USER GUIDE OPERATOR'S TERMINAL Fig. 1. Excel 50 Man-Machine Interface The Excel 50 controller's MMI (Man-Machine Interface, see Fig. 1) consists of a keyboard and a display described below. Keyboard The keyboard has 8 basic function keys and 4 fast-access keys described below.
EXCEL 50 MMI - USER GUIDE Basic Function Keys The effects of pressing the basic function keys are summarized below. CANCEL: Enables you to escape to the root screen, to cancel an incorrect entry, or to confirm an alarm message.
All RAM data and all configuration codes are lost, and the controller will therefore have to be re-initialized (see "Powering Up / Resetting the Controller" on page 47) in order to work with it. You should reset your Excel 50 MMI only as a preliminary to downloading a new application. &...

APPENDIX 1: DATA-POINT ATTRIBUTES The information pertaining to a particular data-point is referred to as its attributes. In the following sections, the data-points available on the Excel 50 MMI are presented. Depending upon the data-point's type (analog input, digital output, etc.), it can have various different attributes.
EXCEL 50 MMI - USER GUIDE In the third screen, the data-point's "Sup.Alarm" (suppress alarm) attribute can be changed from "YES" to "NO" and vice-versa. The "Sup.Alarm" attribute allows the user to choose which point alarm will be generated and which one not. If the "Sup.Alarm"...

EXCEL 50 MMI - USER GUIDE Fig. 81. Digital output data-point attributes (as exemplified by HG1_PmpCmd) See also the previous sections for information on previously-described attributes. Pseudo Analog Data-Point Attributes See also section "Types of Pseudo Data-Points" on page 25 for a description of pseudo analog data-points.
EXCEL 50 MMI - USER GUIDE Fig. 84. Remote analog data-point attributes (as exemplified by CPU_Calc_Htg_Sp) The second screen shows the controller number of the remote point. Remote points always receive their values from pseudo-analog points originating in source controllers. The remote point and pseudo-analog point must have the same name.
The data-point's name is just one of its attributes. The name of each data-point (physical and pseudo) can be displayed on the Excel 50 MMI. However, access to change physical and pseudo data-points depends on the operator's access level. Appending the Controller's Number to the Data-Points' Names Remote data-points (also known as global data-points) are data-points used by more than one controller operating on the same C-bus.
EXCEL 50 MMI - USER GUIDE Automatic Operation Mode: In the case of automatic operation, the Excel 50 MMI normally processes the values received from the inputs, e.g. from temperature sensors, while the state of outputs normally shown by the user / time program is adopted, e.g.
