UniOP MKDR-04-004 Control Unit Panel
MKDR-04 – Industrial PLC Workstation
4 line x 40 Character LCD
Links Directly to PLC Programming Port
28K Internal EPROM
The MKDR04 fulfills the need for a powerful yet cost effective operator interface system. Displays are
four lines and LCD. Each line can contain up to 40 characters. Each page can contain up to 32. which
can be accessed by scrolling with the arrow keys. The MKDR04 LCD display has a contrast control.
This control is provided to adjust the display for easy viewing under nearly any condition.
Display Variables
PLC internal variables can be shown on any of the many display pages. The number of variables that
can be viewed at one time is limited only by the display size. UniOP also provides scaling (linear con
version) of the displayed data. The final value can then be shown in several useful formats including
bargraph, date, time, decimal, bit, hexadecimal, floating point, and string. Data entry with valid range
verification is also available for each data type.
Data Entry
The integral keypad offers 45 programmable function keys (16 with user LEDs). Slide-in legends make
it easy to customize and document the operation of each key which has an LED. UniOP also features
an internal battery-backed real time clock. Time and date information from the clock are periodically
updated in the PLC to enable processing based on time-of-day, day-of-week or any other period.
Security
An eight-level password protection scheme protects critical system features from undesired access.
Alarms
UniOP can monitor and display up to 1024 alarms. Attributes and unique messages for each alarm can
be defined. Operator acknowledgment can also be required. The last 256 alarm events detected by the
UniOP are retained in an internal event list. This list can be viewed on screen or printed on a serial
printer to obtain a permanent record.
Adaptability
Custom display screens are developed using the UniOP Designer™ for Windows™ programming soft
ware. Your completed project file can be downloaded to the display through the serial port and perma
nently stored in Flash EPROM.
Keyboard Macro Editor
A feature that allows you to configure your UniOP Keys to do a variety of functions locally in the UniOP.
For example: turning pages, setting attributes, setting LEDs, writing to the PLC, going to the alarm list,
uploading or downloading a recipe set and many more. This can save many hours of ladder logic pro
gramming.
Recpies
This feature allows you to create a recipe with up to 255 parameter sets for each page of the project
file. UniOP has a total of 16K reserved for recipe storage. You can upload or download a parameter set
from or to the PLC. Once a parameter set has been downloaded to the PLC, the data contained within
the parameter set can be modified.
UniNET Network
The UniNET network allows you to design networks of varying configurations; from two panels with one
PLC to multiple panels with multiple PLCs. Data can be written to or retrieved from the PLCs in many
different locations at one time. The UniNET network creates a bridge between UniOP panels which
allows data to be shared by all PLCs in the network, regardless of the type or manufacturer.
