switch description on page 2–7.
It is the responsibility of the application designer to document the operation
of an application program. This chapter only provides basic guidelines.
Before running an application, you should understand what processes are
being controlled and monitored.
ATTENTION: The function keys of the DTAM Micro can be
assigned different functions depending upon the application.
!
The application designer must document these functions. Make
sure you understand any function key operations prior to
operating the DTAM Micro. Failure to do so may result in
unintended operation.
The application designer can assign the function keys [F1] to [F8] to set or
clear a bit at a controller address. This bit may control a variety of processes.
It is the responsibility of the application designer to document the use of the

Running Applications
Screen Types
Screen Navigation
Application screens can have a variety of appearances. The DTAM Micro
can display six types of screens.
• Menu and Sub-Menu Screens
• Security Screens
• Data Display Screens
• Data Entry Screens
• Recipe Screens
• Alarm Screens
The DTAM Micro provides several options for changing the screen displays:
• Screen links
• Advisor option
• Function keys
Screen Links
Use the [NEXT] and [PREV] keys to step backward and forward through this
sequence.
Main Menu and Sub-Menu screens list screens that can be accessed by
pressing the assigned numeric key [0] through [9]. A typical Main Menu
screen provides links to individual screens or sub-menus:
1 Pump2 Tank Status
3 Mixer Status 4 Recipe
In the example above, pressing [2] at the Main Menu displays the status of a
holding tank. Pressing [4] displays a Sub-Menu of the recipe screen options.
Advisor Option
Applications can allow screen changes that are controlled by an SLC or PLC
logic controller. When the logic controller writes a valid screen number to a
specified Advisor register, the corresponding screen is displayed. The
controller can initiate a screen change based upon a variety of inputs to the
controller. For example, a pressure limit switch can be used to initiate the
display of a pressure control screen. It is the responsibility of the application
designer to document when and what screen changes may occur.

Chapter 5
Running Applications
Function Keys
An application designer can link function keys [F1] through [F8] to
individual screens (except alarm screens). Pressing an assigned function key
displays the function key number for approximately 0.5 seconds and then the
assigned screen. It is the responsibility of the application designer to
document the operations assigned to function keys. There are two function
key modes:
• Auto Return
• Continue
Auto Return
Auto return function keys return to the initial display after the linked screen
is executed. For example, assume that an application is displaying screen #6
and an auto return function key [F3] is linked to a recipe screen #10. When
[F3] is pressed, the recipe screen #10 is displayed. After the operator
downloads a new recipe on screen #10, the initial screen #6 is displayed.
The following table describes when the return to the initial screen occurs.
Function Key Linked To:Returns to Initial Screen After:
Data Display Screen[ ] , [PREV], or [NEXT] keys are pressed

Recipe ScreenRecipe data is downloaded or
[PREV], or [NEXT] keys are pressed ➀
➀ [NEXT] or [PREV] keys abort the operation.
Continue
Continue function keys do not return to the initial display but remain at the
linked screen. For example, assume that an application is displaying screen
#3 and a “continue” function key [F2] is linked to a data entry screen #5.
When [F2] is pressed, the data entry screen #5 is displayed. The application
continues from screen #5.

Sub-Menus
Security Screens
Sub-Menu screens function like the Main Menu. The only difference is that
you must navigate through the other screens or use assigned function keys to
access the Sub-Menus. Refer to the previous section for more information.
Security screens limit access to parts of an application. Although the text on
a security screen may be changed by the application designer, many
applications will use the default text:
*RESTRICTED ACCESS*
ENTER CODE:
A security code is a series of 1 to 8 digits. Each security screen can have up
to 3 code entries. Entering any one of the codes provides access.
To enter a security code, use the numeric keypad. An asterisk (
displayed for each number entered. Press [

Wiring Guidelines
Here are some recommendations on how to reduce noise on the
communications connections:
• Careful wire routing helps reduce or minimize electrical noise.
Route incoming power to the terminal by a separate path from the
communications cables.
• Do not run communications wiring and power wiring in the same conduit.
• Where communications and power wiring must cross, make their
intersection perpendicular.
• Proper grounding helps to limit the effects of noise due to
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). To avoid problems caused by EMI,
all cables must be shielded and grounded at one end. Grounding is also
an important safety measure in electrical installations.

Connections and Setup
To connect the DTAM Micro terminal to an RS-485 device:
1. Make sure that the power to the DTAM Micro is off.
2. Use the proper cabling to connect the DTAM Micro communications port
to the port of the controller (PLC-5 channel 0 or SLC 5/03 RS-232 port).
• Use cable, Catalog No 2707-NC4 for PLC-5 channel 0 RS-422
connection
• Use cable, Catalog No. 2707-NC5 for PLC 5 channel 0 RS-232
connection. The 2707-NC5 cable converts the signals from the
RS-485 port to RS-232 levels.
• Use cable, Catalog No. 2707-NC1 for SLC 5/03, 5/04 or 5/05 port and
DH-485 network connections
If you need to make your own cable, refer to the connection diagrams
in Appendix B. The maximum recommended cable length is 200 feet
(60.8 meters).
Important: The DH-485 network cable requires proper shielding,
grounding, and termination. Refer to Data Highway / Data Highway Plus
/ Data Highway-485 Cable Installation Manual (Publication No.
1770-6.2.2).
3. The DH-485 connectors are not electrically isolated. If electrical isolation
is required, use Link Couplers (Catalog No. 1747-AIC) shown on the
previous page.
ATTENTION: Electrical isolation using Link Couplers (Catalog
No. 1747-AIC) is required in applications where the distance
!
between the DTAM Micro terminal and the SLC is greater than
6.5 feet (2 meters).
4. Make sure that the communication parameters of the DTAM Micro
terminal match the host device.
5. Apply power and verify that communications are established.
