Quartech 9800 Data Sheet

The 9800 Series packages an 80 character vacuum fluorescent display, 16 element pushbutton station with tri-color light emitting diodes, and a numeric keypad into one integrated unit. It is designed to communicate directly with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) through its programming port allowing an operator to easily view and change values in the PLC system without having to learn unique address and data formats.

The 9800 is fully programmable using ScreenMaker 9000 Windows based off-line software. The control engineer can customize each screen to fit the current application. Text and data can be combined to create a user friendly interface. An AT style PC keyboard may be plugged directly into the keyboard port on the 9800. Factory floor programming changes can then be easily made without the use of a PC running ScreenMaker. The AT keyboard may also be used in parallel with the membrane keyboard during normal operation. A bar code reader may be connected through the keyboard port allowing ASCII data to be input directly into the PLC through an ASCII data field.

	Text Fields: The Text Field can be configured the following four ways: static text, flashing text, horizontal scrolling text, and vertical paging text. .
	PLC Data Field: : Display data from the PLC in several formats including, decimal, ASCII, binary, and hexadecimal. Entry can be allowed or prevented on each field. Individual high and low write limits can also be designated. An eight bit scale value allows raw data to be displayed and entered in familiar engineering units. .
	ASCII Data Field: : This field allows ASCII strings to be input via an external PC keyboard or bar code reader. .
	Bit Status/Bit Set Field: : This field will display one of two character strings depending on the status of a group of bits within a defined PLC address. If entry is allowed, the operator may set of clear the same group of bits by first selecting the field then pressing the Enter key. .
	Data Set Field: : This function allows a defined value to be written to a given address within the PLC. It appears as a text field on the screen and is activated by first selecting it, then pressing the Enter key. .
	Bar Graph Field: : Bar graphs allow you to choose the character used to form the bar and also allows a scale value to be applied to the raw PLC data. .
	Clock & Calendar Fields: : The time and date are individual fields that can be used in any screen. The time and date can also be downloaded to the PLC. Y2K Compliance.
