PROGRAMMABLE MARQUEE DISPLAYS - Steven Engineering...230 VAC (194-250), 47-63 Hz, 45 VA...

INTRODUCTION:AVG Uticor Marquees can be found in numerousapplications throughout all industries. In 1996, aCONTROL ENGINEERING Magazine studynamed the AVG Uticor brand of Marquees as themost specified and recognized Marquee productline in industry.

Marquees are intended for use where messagesneed to be conveyed over large visual distances upto 400 ft. (121.9 m). Hence, they have larger dis-play areas and character heights than are found in AVG Uticor's Programmable MessageDisplay product line. These extremely versatile products, enable your PLC or control systemto display vital production status or alarm messages to plant-floor personnel in real time.

AVG Uticor offers three lines of Marquees:

■ LED-based Master Marquees

■ LED-based Slave Marquees

■ LED-based Numerical Marquees:

A Master Marquee is alphanumeric and stores up to 175, 80-character messages per 16K ofmemory. These messages and their characteristics (such as blinking, centering, scrolling, etc.)are programmed using a programming software (runs on a PC) available free from AVGUticor. A Master Marquee continuously polls the connected PLC for a message number andseveral control parameters (may or may not be programmable in some cases). Based on thecontrol parameters, the Master Marquee can display the message, send the message to one ora group of Slave displays (described below), or it can broadcast the message over Uticor SlaveNetwork. A PC can also control the Master Marquee. Master Marquees come in two config-urations, Red LED (PMD 3000 Series) and Tricolor LED (PMD 3600 Series).

Slave Marquees do not store messages. They are typically used with a Master Marquee,Master Message Display, Message Controller or a Touchscreen Programmable GraphicalInterface. A Master Marquee, Master Message Display, Message Controller, or TouchscreenProgram-mable Graphical Interface can drive a network of several Slaves. Each Slave used on a network has a unique address. Addressing scheme allows a message to be sent to one,several, or all Slaves on the network. Slave Marquees include PMD 1100, PMD 1200, andPMD 1205.

The LED-based Numerical Marquee comes in a 4 digit (PMD 1404) or 6 digit (PMD1406) versions. With 7-segmented LEDs, these displays only show numerical values. Any PMD 1404 or 1406 can be used as a Master to drive additional PMD 1404 or 1406units as Slaves.

PROGRAMMABLE MARQUEE DISPLAYS

SELECTING THE RIGHT MODEL

The PMD Master Marquee receives Message inputs from a PC or PLC and outputsMessages to one or more Slave units installed at strategic locations throughout the user'splant. A PC can be connected for programming purposes.

AVG UTICOR offers a variety of Marquee models to meet different application needs. Auser will select a Marquee based on following criteria:

■ Visibility Distance (size of characters)

■ Number of lines on display

■ Characters per line

■ PLC Connectivity

In addition to above characteristics, Slave Marquees offer a wide variety of features. A list offeatures is given later in this section. Please refer to data sheets of each model for moreinformation on a model.

PMD MARQUEE DISPLAYS CONTINUED

MARQUEE FEATURES Slave Marquees offer many features that enhance your ability to display pertinent informa-tion. Here’s a brief listing of some of the more common features and what they are (Every model may not support all of the following features):

Blinking A character, word, or message flashes on and off at a user-pro-grammable rate; used to attract attention to a message of highpriority.

Chained Message Links up to 115 individual messages together and displays at auser-defined rate.

Circular Message Queue A list of messages displayed in the order that they are trig-gered according to their message display time. The list wrapsaround from the last message back to the first message andcontinues to cycle through the queue until the user makes achange.

Data Log An area of memory set aside for a time- and date-stamped his-torical record of events in the unit.

Invisible Messages Messages sent to a printer or Slave Marquee, but not to theMaster Marquee’s own display.

Off-line Programming Message programs are developed with programming softwareand stored to disk. The message file can then be uploaded tothe Master Marquee unit. The computer does not need to beconnected to the unit for this programming process.

On-line Programming Master Marquee unit is programmed directly from the com-puter. The unit must be connected to the programming com-puter. With on-line programming, the user can developscreens while the display unit is running. This allows modifi-cation of the screens without having to take the unit off line.

Real-Time Clock A clock that indicates the passage of actual time.

Scrolling Message A message that moves from the bottom of the display to thetop, or from the right of the display to the left.


The PMD 1100 is a slim-line alphanumericslave marquee that uses attention-gettingRED LED colors to indicate equipment sta-tus instantly. On the top and bottom of theunit are knockouts for routing wires insidethe unit to connect service power and com-munication cabling.

These slave units display informationreceived from a Master Message Display, ora PowerPanel Touchscreen ProgrammableGraphics Interface, computer, or other intelligent device with serial communicationcapabilities.

Messages can be stationary, blinking, cen-tered, or smoothly scrolling from right toleft. The PMD 1100 can also display a bargraph. Each PMD 1100 has an RS-422Aserial repeater port that lets you daisy-chainnumerous groups of displays together; or, ifyou use RS-485A communications, you canhave up to 32 units on the same communi-cation line. Yet, by assigning each unit aunique address, only the desired messagewill be displayed at each station.

Several versions of the PMD 3100 Series are available. They differ in the way they can com-municate with external devices and/or PLCs.

PMD 3100 Messages are triggered via the 16-bit parallel port.

Note: In the following models, the PMD 3100 parallel port, the associated Message ControlTerminals, and the Power In/Power Out Terminals have been removed and replaced by thePLC interface connector located on the interface board. Please be advised that all of thedirect PLC interface units require you to punch a hole to accommodate the wiring. Please becareful of metal filings.

PMD 3150 is essentially a PMD 3100 which directly interfaces to an Allen-Bradley PLC2,PLC3, or PLC5 through Remote I/O Block Transfer or Data Highway/Plus. Each of thesemodes operates independently from the other and the PMD 3150 can be configured tocommunicate using any one of them. PMD 3150 has all of the PMD 3100 features, butreceives communication through twinaxial cable ("blue hose").

PMD 3160 is very similar to the PMD3100 and contains an interface to Siemens/TI Series545 CPU (and the 560 and 565 CPUs used in conjunction with the Siemens/TI RCC mod-ule) which have the RS-485 remote I/O module. The PMD 3160 will appear as an RemoteBase Controller (RBC) to the Siemens/TI PLC. PMD 3160 can also listen to an existingRBC and use the information from it.

PMD 3180 has all of the PMD 3100 capabilities but contains support for a GeniusNetwork Adapter (GENA) board which allows the PMD 3180 to be configured as a nodeon the Genius I/O system. The PMD 3180 can be configured as an I/O block on a GeniusI/O system and will receive data from a bus interface module. A bus interface module is typ-ically a PLC with a Genius bus controller module or a PCIM card installed in a personalcomputer. The PMD 3180 will exist on the Genius I/O network as an I/O block broadcast-ing its inputs to the bus and reading the outputs sent to it by the bus controller.

The PMD 3600 Series is a large master mar-quee display available in 11.5", 16.3", and25.9" (292.1, 414, and 657.9 mm) heightsand 40", 76", and 150" (1016, 1930.4, and3810 mm) widths in a total of eight differ-ent sizes (maximum height and maximumwidth model is not available).

The PMD 3600 Series uses attention-gettingTricolor (red, green, amber) LED colors in2", 4", 6" or 8" (50.8, 101.6, 152.4, or203.2 mm) character heights to indicateequipment status instantly.

These versatile displays also let you adjustcharacter and line heights, add blinking,

scrolling, and unveiling effects, and featuremultiple messages simultaneously.

The PMD 3600 Series offers suspendedmounting using either the eyebolts on topor mounting kits that allow adjustableangled viewing. Two knockouts are providedin the PMD 3600's steel case for the routingof wires. Fuses, connectors, and switches areaccessed by removing the back panel.

Several versions of the PMD3600 Series are available.They differ in the way theycan communicate with exter-nal devices and/or PLCs.

PMD 3600 Messages are trig-gered via the 16-bit parallelport.

Note: In the following models,the PMD 3600 parallel port,the associated Message ControlTerminals, and the PowerIn/Power Out Terminals havebeen removed and replaced by

the PLC interface connector located on the interface board. Please be advised that all of thedirect PLC interface units require you to punch a hole to accommodate the wiring. Please becareful of metal filings.

PMD 3650 is essentially a PMD 3600 which directly interfaces to an Allen-Bradley PLC2,PLC3, or PLC5 through Remote I/O Block Transfer or Data Highway/Plus. Each of thesemodes operates independently from the other and the PMD 3650 can be configured tocommunicate using any one of them. PMD 3650 has all of the PMD 3600 features, butreceives communication through twinaxial cable ("blue hose").

PMD 3660 is very similar to the PMD3600 and contains an interface to Siemens/TI Series545 CPU (and the 560 and 565 CPUs used in conjunction with the Siemens/TI RCC mod-ule) which have the RS-485 remote I/O module. The PMD 3660 will appear as an RemoteBase Controller (RBC) to the Siemens/TI PLC. PMD 3660 can also listen to an existingRBC and use the information from it.

PMD 3680 has all of the PMD 3600 capabilities but contains support for a GeniusNetwork Adapter (GENA) board which allows the PMD 3680 to be configured as a nodeon the Genius I/O system. The PMD 3680 can be configured as an I/O block on a GeniusI/O system and will receive data from a bus interface module. A bus interface module is typ-ically a PLC with a Genius bus controller module or a PCIM card installed in a personalcomputer. The PMD 3680 will exist on the Genius I/O network as an I/O block broadcast-ing its inputs to the bus and reading the outputs sent to it by the bus controller.
