3 colors can be displayed, to reflect the status

Various messages and graphics can be displayed on the liquid crystal display screen,
which measures 160 x 64 dots, as well as lamps, internal PLC data, graphs, clocks, and
other information.In addition, backlightingis available in three colors,green, orange, and
red, so that information can be color -coded. This makes it easy to grasp information at
a glance.
