The Allen-Bradley Micro810 PLC's 1.5" LCD display (Catalog No. 2080-LCD) is a versatile tool for configuring and monitoring automation systems. This guide explores its adjustment capabilities, programming integration, and troubleshooting methods, supported by Rockwell Automation's documentation and real-world applications.
The 2080-LCD module integrates a keypad and display for direct parameter adjustments, program monitoring, and smart relay configuration. Compatible exclusively with Micro810 controllers, it supports:
- On-the-fly parameter edits (e.g., timer/counter values).
- Custom message displays via Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software.
- Built-in function blocks like Delay ON/OFF timers and Time-of-Day controls.
Step 1: Insert the LCD module into the Micro810's bay by snapping it into place after removing the dust cover.
Step 2: Press ESC + OK simultaneously to access the Main Menu.
Key Functions:
- ESC: Return to previous screen.
- OK: Confirm selections.
- Arrow keys: Navigate parameters.
The LCD allows direct editing of variables mapped to function blocks. For example:
1. Navigate to PARAMETERS > Timer1.
2. Adjust preset values using the arrow keys.
Using the HMI_LCD function block in CCW:
- Embed variables in strings (e.g., `'Count: ' + MyCounter`).
- Format text with special characters (e.g., `$21` for "!").
Preloaded function blocks (e.g., Delay ON Timer) can be configured without programming:
1. Select FUNCTION BLOCKS from the Main Menu.
2. Adjust settings like Time Base and Preset.
Map physical keys to PLC tags using the Key_Read instruction:
ladderlogic
Key_Read(KEY_UP => Tag_Up, KEY_DOWN => Tag_Down);
This enables button-driven adjustments (e.g., incrementing setpoints).
Ensure compatibility by updating the LCD firmware via CCW:
1. Connect the controller to a PC via USB.
2. Navigate to Controller > Firmware Update.
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Blank screen | Check power supply and module seating. |
| Unresponsive keys | Reconfigure key mappings in CCW. |
| Garbled text | Verify variable types and string formatting. |
The Micro810 LCD is not just a display; it serves as an interactive interface for various applications across industries:
In lighting control applications, users can adjust brightness levels or switch lights on/off directly from the LCD interface without needing complex programming.
The display can be used in HVAC systems to monitor temperatures and adjust settings accordingly.
For air compressor systems, users can monitor pressure readings and adjust operational parameters using the LCD interface.
Elevators can be programmed with specific parameters that can be adjusted through the Micro810's display, allowing for quick changes in operational settings.
The user experience is paramount when dealing with PLCs and their interfaces:
The intuitive design of the Micro810's LCD ensures that even users with minimal technical knowledge can navigate through settings effectively.
Users receive immediate feedback when adjustments are made, which enhances operational efficiency.
The Micro810 LCD enables intuitive adjustments for both standalone and programmed applications across various industries such as manufacturing, HVAC, and building management systems. Its integration with CCW and preloaded function blocks makes it ideal for lighting controls, compressor systems, and small-scale automation projects that require flexibility and user interaction.
For complex HMI requirements, pairing with external HMIs (e.g., AutomationDirect C-more) is recommended for enhanced functionality.
Use concatenation in CCW's LCD instructions:
```structuredtext
'Count: ' + STRING(MyCounter)
```
Ensure variables are mapped as Global tags.
No—logic must be programmed via CCW, but parameters (e.g., timer presets) can be modified on-device.
- Verify the module is securely connected.
- Check for firmware mismatches.
Up to 16 characters using default fonts.
No—the 2080-LCD works only with Micro810.
