Information Mode allows you to display and edit data, and to perform certain preset actions. The system data is displayed on the LCD screen and may be edited via the keypad.
You can enter Information Mode at any time, without regard to what is currently displayed on the HMI screen. Viewing data does not affect the PLC program. Note that when you are in Information Mode, the keypad is dedicated to that purpose. The keypad cannot be used for normal application functions until you exit Information Mode.
To enter Information Mode, press the <i> key for several seconds. You navigate through the main menu to reach the category of data you want. Selecting a category opens a submenu.
The list below shows the categories of information that are available for viewing.
Using Information Mode, you can access:
I/O status
Analog Inputs: Operating range and current value
Counter values
MB and SB Status
MI and SI current values
Timers: Current timer value, preset value, and timer status
PLC ID number
RS232 Parameters
Time and Date
System Information
You can also restart your program, as well as initialize MBs and MIs.
A full description of Information mode is included in PLC user guides.
