Access to Setup Menus
Device settings are entered via the setup parameters, which you can display and modify from
the specific Parameters menu, or directly from the toolbar by clicking on the matching icon. If
you have not entered the password previously, only the current settings are displayed without
transmission of modifications to the device.
This method of accessing ATC settings is handier and more immediate compared with direct
access from the front keypad using the PC; the following are displayed:
•
Code of the parameter
•
Description in the language set
•
Value set
•
Graphic box or drop-down box with possible options
The ATC device's parameters have been grouped in several menus that reflect the
organization described in the operations manual.
•
P1 - Rated data menu
•
P2 - General data menu
•
P3 - Line 1 voltage control
•
P4 - Line 2 voltage control
•
P5 - Programmable inputs
•
P6 - Programmable outputs
•
P7 - Serial interface ports
•
P8 - Automatic test
You can save the complete series of settings of a device in a file, to re-use them to set another
device with the same settings. You can save the complete series of settings of a ATC on the
disk of the PC in an ASCII text file for fast, easy reloading in another device. This function is
useful when programming a number of control units with the same settings, or in order to
maintain a master file of the original settings of a system.
