LCD Screen Editor: Overview

Using the LCD420 display as documented requires the following components:

• RMCWin 1.14.0 or newer

• RMC100 CPU with an RJ-11 port

• RMC100 CPU Firmware 20001204 or newer

• LCD420 purchased after December 4, 2000 (new units have an ESC key while the old units do not)

Prior to the December 4, 2000 release, the LCD420 display had a different keypad and the firmware behaved much differently. Users of the previous version may choose to keep their older displays, in which case it is important to not update the firmware to 20001204 or newer. Otherwise, contact Delta for details on upgrading to the new LCD420 display and firmware.

The LCD Screen Editor is a window in RMCWin that is used to edit screens displayed on the LCD420 accessory for the RMC100 series motion controllers. The LCD420 is a hand-held or panel-mounted terminal with a 4-row, 20-column LCD display and a 20-key keypad.
