Logic Controls PD2000/3000 Pole Display

Last edited: December 15, 2003 08:13 AM

The PD3000 is a 2X20 character pole display.  It can be ordered as serial or parallel and is driven with standard Do Template and Print To commands.

Autoexec.Bat

For serial displays, the MODE command should be:
        MODE COM2:9600,N,8,1
If the port is other than COM2, substitute the correct COM port.

Note:  On some older Logic Control Displays, the Mode statement may need to be changed to:
        MODE COM2:9600,N,8,2

Styling

Templates should have two lines as follows:

ASCII:31,20

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy~

The ASCII 31 resets the display and the ASCII 20 turns off the cursor.  The first 20 characters(xxx…) show on the first line.  The next 19 characters(yyy…) show on the second line.  A tilde(~) must be the 40th character to suppress the line feed and prevent the display from scrolling the first line off the display.

A set of templates is available as LC.ZIP if desired.
Win-EZ Configuration

To configure the display for Win-EZ perform the following steps:

  1. Go into TM Config and edit the option for line 1 on the node attached to the customer display.  For T1 this will be option 4.  Set it to ASCII:31,20,17
  2. Go into TM Config and edit the option for line 2 on the node attached to the customer display.  For T1 this will be option 5.  Set it to ASCII:16,20
  3. If the display is to be connected to other than the default of COM4, go into Win-EZ Utility, run Edit-Lite Ports, and follow the instructions on the first screen to locate and set the correct port.  Note that the display names for T1 through T4 are CT1 to CT4.
