2.2.6 Mimic function With the Mimic function the operator can choose how the control buttons and LED's are shown on AGC 150, and thereby get a better overview of the controller in different applications. Configure the Mimic function under Settings > Basic settings > Controller settings > Display > LED mimic.

Guided Active control buttons and LED's are visible, inactive are not shown. Example: AGC 150 is in SEMI-AUTO mode. The generator is stopped. The only possible action is to start the generator, and so only the Start button is visible.
3. Running modes Mode overview AGC 150 has four different running modes and one block mode: • AUTO: In AUTO mode, the controller will operate automatically, and the operator cannot initiate any sequences manually. • SEMI-AUTO: In SEMI-AUTO mode, the operator has to initiate all sequences. This can be done via the push-button functions, Modbus commands or digital inputs.
The View menu When AGC 150 is powered up, the View menu appears. It is the daily use menu for the operator, which shows various measured values. If an alarm is present, the event and alarm list is shown at power-up.
