Chapter 1 – Introduction

This chapter describes the structure of this manual and presents an
overview of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for the FloBoss™ 107
Flow Manager.

1.1 Scope and Organization

This document serves as the user manual for the FloBoss™ 107 Flow
Manager Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), which is intended for use with
the FloBoss 107 Flow Manager (“FB107”). This manual describes how
to install, configure, and use the FB107 LCD (the “Touchpad”). You
initially access and configure the Touchpad using ROCLINK™ 800
Configuration software loaded on an IBM-compatible personal
computer running Windows® 98, NT 4.0 (with Service Pack 6), 2000
(with Service Pack 2), or XP. Once configured, the Touchpad provides
access to many FB107 system parameters and functions.

FB107 LCD User Manual

1.2 Overview

The chapters in this manual provide information in a sequence
appropriate for first-time users. Once you become familiar with the
device and the procedures, the manual becomes a reference tool.

This manual has the following major sections:

 Chapter 1 – Introduction
 Chapter 2 – Configuration
 Chapter 3 – Using the Touchpad

This manual assumes that you are familiar with the FB107 and its
configuration. For more information, refer to the following specification
sheet and manuals:

107 Flow Manager Instruction Manual (Form A6206)

 FloBoss™ 107 LCD Specification Sheet (5.5:LCD)
 ROCLINK 800 Configuration Software User Manual (for FB107)

(Form A6217)

The Touchpad enables you to access FB107 process and operational
information and to view and change FB107 parameters. The Touchpad
is a touch-sensitive liquid crystal display (LCD) screen. It fits behind a
protective covering that is mounted to an enclosure (see Figure 1-1).

Issued Sep-07 Introduction 1-1

FB107 LCD User Manual

Figure 1-1. FB107 Touchpad, Enclosure-Mounted

Note: The Touchpad (with FB107) is designed to be mounted to an

enclosure. Remote Automation Solutions has an enclosure
designed for the Touchpad. If you choose to use your own
enclosure, contact your local sales representative for a template
and appropriate specifications.

The Touchpad communicates with the FB107 through a dedicated RS­232 connection located on the FB107 base unit (see Figure 1-2). The
Touchpad’s RS-232 connection is permanently configured with a baud
rate of 19200, 1 stop bit, 1 start bit, 8 data bits, and no parity.

Figure 1-2. FB107 Base Unit, Display Connection

The Touchpad is a transreflective LCD. To maintain readability in
direct sunlight, it reflects most of the sunlight and increases or decreases
the brightness of its display based on the amount of light. This reduces
your need to manually adjust the screen. It also has a backlight to
increase readability during low-light use conditions or during critical
operations (such as when you enter a PIN code). During idle periods,
the backlight automatically enters a power-saving mode to conserve
energy.

The Touchpad requires no manual calibration. Internal firmware
provides the coordinates to assure display communications between the
Touchpad and your FB107.

ALARMKEY ACK

Figure 1-3. FB107 Touchpad with Open Cover

To use the Touchpad, you open its protective cover and touch the
screen. Two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) at the top of the Touchpad
provide visual signals on the Touchpad’s operational status. The green
LED indicates successful “touches”: each time you touch the screen, the
green LED flashes to verify that the Touchpad has acknowledged your
entry. The green LED also can flash once every three seconds if you
have set the power savings mode (see Section 1.2.2). The red LED
signals alarm or integrity issues, and coordinates with other visual
Touchpad clues (such as an on-screen asterisk, i, or a) to identify the
area of concern. See Chapter 3, Using the Touchpad.

1.2.1 Display Mode

The Touchpad has two operational modes, Normal and Basic List
Mode (BLM). When you open the cover, the Touchpad displays the

“idle state display” (typically the Emerson Process Management logo):

TOUCH SCREEN

TO ACTIVATE

1-4 Introduction Issued Sep-07

Figure 1-4. Touchpad “Idle State” Display

FB107 LCD User Manual

When you touch the screen, you see either a list of system parameters or
a number grid.

Figure 1-5. Initial Active Touchpad Displays

BLM mode (indicated by the on-screen BLM List label) provides an
auto-scrolling list of read-only parameters, which displays up to 32 user­defined parameters (refreshed once per second) without requiring a log
on process. (At any time you can interrupt the auto-display and log on
through the Touchpad.)

Note: BLM mode also includes a dynamic chart mode. Technicians can

touch a parameter and the Touchpad displays a dynamic chart
related to that parameter. See Chapter 3, Using the Touchpad,
for further details on this feature.

Normal mode requires a sign-in process before displaying any
information. Refer to Chapter 3, Using the Touchpad, for further
information.

1.2.2 Power Savings Mode

The Touchpad also provides an optional power-savings mode, which
activates whenever the idle state display occurs. (This power savings
mode works with either Normal or BLM display mode.) Select this
option on the Advanced tab of the LCD Controller screen (see Figure 1-

6).

Issued Sep-07 Introduction 1-5

FB107 LCD User Manual

Figure 1-6. Power Savings Modes

When you click Low Power (and then click Update to apply the
change), ROCLINK 800 performs a warm start and shuts down the
Touchpad. While the Touchpad is blank, the green LED blinks once
every three seconds to indicate the Touchpad is active. The Touchpad
“awakens” when you touch it, and shows the idle state display. At that
point log on and proceed to use the Touchpad normally. Whenever the
Touchpad “times out” and would normally show the idle state display,
the Touchpad is blank. This reduces the energy required to continually
show the idle state display.

1.2.3 Touchpad and ROCLINK 800 Security

ROCLINK 800 security enables you can determine which user IDs can
access which Touchpad features. You can define up to 16 user IDs, each
of which can have read-only, read-write, or no access to the four user
lists and standard features of the Touchpad. See Section 2.6,
Configuring Touchpad Security.

1-6 Introduction Issued Sep-07

Chapter 2 – Configuration

This chapter provides instructions for configuring Touchpad options.
The FB107 is factory-configured to accept the Touchpad. Until you

connect the Touchpad to the FB107, the Display port displays an
integrity (“red I”) error (see Figure 2-1, Section 2-1).

After connecting the Touchpad, you can configure additional display
options as well as Touchpad security (see Sections 2-2 through 2-6).

3.1 Touchpad Screens

The Touchpad uses several major screen formats to present information.
Included are menu screens, parameter screens, and dynamic charts.

Note: System security settings controls which options display on your

Touchpad and whether you can edit parameter values. Refer to
Section 2.6, Configuring Touchpad Security, for further
information.

3.1.1 Menu Screens

Menu screens are basically two or more options placed in a grid.
Typically, an Exit option may appear in the menu’s lower left corner. A
menu label (such as Main Menu or Slot #0 in Figure 3-1) is centered
between brackets, and arrows (to access additional menu options) may
appear in the right corner of the menu. Figure 3-1 shows two examples of
menu screens.

3.1.2 Parameter Screens

Parameter screens primarily display values, but provide other ways to
display information. A label typically appears at the top of a parameter
screen indicating where that parameter belongs. The bottom of the screen
contains two or more boxes, usually providing an Exit option on the left­hand side, a Hold option (to prevent the screen from auto-scrolling to the
next set of parameters) in the center, and Ï and Ð options on the right­hand side so you can move more quickly from parameter to parameter
(see Figure 3-2).

Up to two parameter values display in the center of the screen. The values
are dynamic and refresh each second.

Note: The Touchpad uses this “value inside a box” signal extensively to

indicate a field you can edit.

Finally, you can touch the parameter tag on any parameter screen to
display a chart screen that dynamically displays the values of that
parameter (see Section 3.1.3).

3.1.3 Dynamic Charts

The Touchpad can display any parameter you select in a dynamic “chart
recorder” format. Touch the label or units on a parameter screen to
display the chart. Charting begins from the moment of touch and
continues either for 30 minutes or until you touch Exit.
