1.0.1 Additional programming information
See instructions below for information on the following points::
• User interface operation; keypad and display function
• For feeder calibration
• General operation
• Technical specifications
See operating manual for operator instruction with safety notes
The following programming instructions covers LWF application
programming for the displays KSU-II/KCM, KSL, K-Vision, KSC.
This manual is only for skilled staff instructed by K-Tron.
The menu architecture for the application is the same for all displays.
The main differences between the displays are the navigation and the
short variable name for the KSU-II/KCM.
0490020611 = KCM-KD / KSU-II operation with calibration
procedures
1090020602 = KCM-GD operation with calibration procedures
0690020604 = K-Vision operation with calibration procedures
0490020602 = KSC operation with calibration procedures
0290020613 = KSL operation with calibration procedures
0490020614 = Smart Connex II Overview
0690020601 = KCM General PC Utilities
0490020605 = KCM Electronics
1090020601 = KCM GD Electronics

1.0.2 Manual notation
The following is standard through out this manual.
• KSU-II / KCMParameter name shown as <PARAM NAME>
• KSL / KSC Parameter name shown as <Param Name>
• Parameter value shown as <Param Value>
• Menu name as <Menu NAME>
• Alarm message as <Alarm Message>
• Display indication or key action result as <INDICATION>.
• Dialog box indication as <Dialog>.
• Key or button as KEY
The first parameter name (in CAPs) is for KSU-II/KCM display. The
second parameter name below the first is for the KSL and KSC.
The BOLD PARAMETERS are command functions for the KSU-II/
KCM. For KSL and KSC functions keys are used instead of command
functions.
