Getting Started 2704 Controller
3.6. PARAMETERS AND HOW TO ACCESS THEM
Parameters are settings, within the controller, which determine how the controller will
operate. They are accessed, using the and buttons, and can be changed, to suit the
process, using the and buttons.
Selected parameters may be protected under different security access levels.
Examples of parameters are:-
Values - such as setpoints, alarm trip levels, high and low limits, etc.,
or
States - such as auto/manual, on/off, etc. These are often referred to as enumerated values.
3.6.1. Pages
The parameters are organised into different pages. A page shows information such as page
headers, parameter names and parameter values.
Parameters are grouped in accordance with the function they perform. Each group is given a
‘Page Header’ which is a generic description of the parameter group. Examples are ‘The
Alarm Page’, ‘The Programmer Page’, etc,. A complete list of these is shown in the full
navigation diagram, Section 3.13.
Where a function has many parameters associated with it, the Page Header may be further sub
divided into ‘Sub-Headers’. The parameters are then found under this category.

Figure 3-6: Page Types
It is possible to configure different start up pages as the Home page, but the principle of
navigation is the same for all pages.
Note:-
A page only appears on the controller if the function has been ordered and has been
enabled in Configuration mode. For example, if a programmer is not configured the
RUN page and the EDIT PROGRAM pages will not be displayed.
