DISPLAY BOARD
The Display Board allows the operator to select from
the procedures that are programmed into the
machine, and it lets the Control Board know which
procedure was selected. These procedures are pro-
grammed into the machine's software package. The
Display Board is used to communicate with the oper-
ator. It determines what Overlay is installed in the
machine and which buttons are active on the keypad.
It also controls the LCD display, the lights on the front
of the machine, the Piezo Buzzer and the water cool-
er.
Through the use of a current serial loop, the
Display Board and Control Board communicate (or
talk) to the wire feeder(s). The Display Board can also
communicate with a computer through the RS232
interface.
NOTE: Unshaded areas of Block Logic Diagram are the subject of discussion.
