The Large Serial Slave Display is a versatile display that accepts serial ASCII data from a host device and displays the received characters. The displayable data includes numeric, 7-segment alphabetic and certain punctuation characters.
The 6-digit display (LD2SS6P0) has 2.25" high red LED digits with adjustable display intensity. The 2.25" high model is readable up to 130 feet. The unit is constructed of a NEMA 4X/IP65 enclosure in light weight aluminum.
The Serial Slave has two internal display buffers, allowing two separate display values or messages to be viewed. The main (primary) display typically shows dynamic data (count, rate, process, etc.), usually received directly from another meter. The secondary display typically shows a fixed message or value, such as a system or machine identifier, or a target production value. The main and secondary displays can be toggled either manually or automatically at a user selected toggle speed. Both displays are retained in memory when power is removed from the unit.
For single meter remote display applications, the Serial Slave can be connected directly to a Red Lion (or compatible) meter with RS232 or RS485 serial communications. The slave can display the meter value on its main display without requiring a PC or other serial interface.
Multiple slaves are connected using an RS485 serial bus. If unique meter addresses are assigned, specific data can be displayed by a single slave on the bus. When multiple slaves are assigned the same address, common data can be displayed by multiple units in different locations.
The serial interface is plug jumper selectable for RS232 or RS485 connections. Serial communications parameters are fully programmable, with baud rates up to 38.4Kbps. Special command characters allow display selection and display intensity adjustment through the serial input. In addition to the serial input, a programmable User Input is provided to perform a variety of meter functions.
