Flashing
If in byte 0 bit 5 is set, the whole display will flash. With ASCII data format also
individual characters may flash. For this purpose, the corresponding bits in byte 1
(characters C12...C1) are to be set. The characters C14 and C13 cannot flash
individually.
The flashing of the total display has priority over the flashing of individual characters.
Blanking
If in byte 0 bit 6 is set, the display will be blank. Blanking has priority over flashing.
Display brightness
If in byte 0 bit 4 is set, the brightness of the display will be reduced.
Display test
In menu item F one can set whether a display test is automatically carried out after
power-on.
The display test can also be activated via the Profibus interface by setting bit 7 in
byte 0.
Display test has priority over blanking and flashing.
Demo operation mode
If in menu item F the setting Play is selected, random characters are displayed
one after another. A control of the unit is in this operation mode not possible.
Power-on reset
After the operating voltage is applied, minus signs appear in all characters in order to
signal operational readiness of the unit. If a display test has been preselected in the
menu, it runs beforehand.
