Operating the User Interface (The Long Story)

Although the DP4 user interface is very versatile, it is also simple to setup and operate. With just a few
button presses, it allows the user to confi gure a number of adjustable parameters. The LED display
has three basic operating modes: Running Mode, Parameter-Selection Mode, and Value Mode. Each
of the three modes have specifi c visual indicators that allow the user to immediately determine the
current state or mode of the user interface. Parameter-Selection Mode and Value Mode can only
be entered if the Program Enable jumper is in the "On" position.
Running Mode is the default display of the unit when power is applied. The DP4 will spend the majority
of its time in this mode. In Running Mode, the display shows the target value in the appropriate user-
defi ned format of rate, time, or percentage. The control will continuously attempt to drive the motor at
the requested target rate. In this display mode, the Up and Down buttons increase or decrease the
displayed target value until either the display minimum or display maximum limit is reached. Depending
on the alarm confi guration, these buttons may also serve as an alarm-silence or alarm-reset button.
Example displays for rate, time, and follower operating modes are 13.60, 45:30, and 9301.
Parameter-Selection Mode can be entered by simply pressing and holding the Enter button down for
three seconds. Once in Parameter-Selection Mode, the far left of the display will be a 'P'. The right side
of the display will indicate the currently selected parameter number for editing purposes. Pressing the
Up or Down button will increase or decrease the selected parameter number on the display. Although
the parameter numbers are in numerical order, some numbers are skipped. These numbers represent
reserved parameters that are not yet implemented and are not displayed. Once the desired parameter
number is displayed, a press of the Enter button will change the display to the Value Mode. When in
Parameter-Selection Mode, pressing the Enter button with parameter 0 selected will cause the
unit to return to Running Mode. Example displays for Parameter-Selection Mode are P 1, P 12,
and P 54. See the Software Parameters for a list of available parameters.
Value Mode is used to modify the value of the selected parameter. When in Value Mode, the two
dots which form the colon, between digits two and three, will alternately fl ash (one, then the other) to
inform the user that a parameter's value is being edited. Pressing the Up or Down button increases or
decreases the selected parameter's value. See the Software Parameters for a list of allowable values
and ranges. Value changes take effect immediately. For example, when scrolling through the alarm
output conditions, the relay will activate as the always-active selection is passed. Once the desired value
is showing in the display window, pressing the Enter button again will return to Parameter-Selection
Mode. The new value is not saved in permanent memory until the Enter button is pressed. Removing
power from the unit while in Value Mode may result in the specifi ed new value being lost.
