Description of the status bar

  

 

The status bar of the controller displays the status of its various components. The basic information is the background color of the bar, which indicates the idle state, running program, delayed start, or controller failure. The bar is highly customizable. Positions 1 - 8 are optional, and none may be shown. The order of the icons in positions 1 - 8 can also be adjusted, allowing for different configurations of the status bar on the controller. Additionally, the configuration allows you to display additional icons (Alarm2 to Alarm5, OUT-2 to OUT-5) or leave certain positions empty. All options can be combined, so, for example, it is possible to display only outputs OUT-1 to OUT-4 on the status bar. The status of the controller (9) is shown immediately after the last displayed icon. Details of the status bar configuration are covered in the article Status bar.

 

Color

The background color of the status bar indicates one of the four states in which the controller is currently located:
