The DS16A display module is used to enable the RTU32M users to display runtime information of the connected LB2 modules.
The display has two lines with 12 digits on each line. It has 4 buttons that can be used to browse through the available pages.
In firmware-controlled mode, the buttons can be used to view basic information available for the each LB2 module. In Worksuite controlled mode, the application controls what is displayed.
If the Worksuite application writes a text to the display using the function WriteToDisplay, the display mode changes from firmware-controlled mode to Worksuite controlled mode. To change back to firmware-controlled mode, the application can write an empty string to the display.
The DS16A display module can run in two modes, firmware-controlled mode and Worksuite controlled mode.
