OIT3250B Click to Zoom In

Communicate with Clarity

The OIT3250B stores up to 500 user-definable screens. Each screen can display as little or as much information as you choose. There is no wasted space – you have control over the entire screen. The following screen types are available to help you clearly communicate to the OIT operator.

Message Screens

With the ability to embed up to 25 controller register monitors anywhere in each screen, message screens can convey information to the OIT operator in an easy to read format while allowing the OIT operator to change data in the controller. In addition, message screens can be chained together to form messages longer than the display size.


    

Recipe Screens

Recipe screens allow the OIT operator to setup and start a batch process. Each recipe screen can include up to 20 preset and 25 operator controlled ingredients.


    

Alarm Screens

Alarm screens keep the OIT operator informed of alarm conditions using a message and an audible alert. The message can include real-time information from up to 25 controller registers.

Menu Screens

Menu screens allow the OIT operator to quickly and easily branch to other message, recipe or menu screens. Chaining menu screens together, allows each menu option to have a longer description.


    

Help Screens

Help screens are linked to related message, recipe or menu screens and display when the HELP key is pressed.

Screen Display Features

The OIT3250B offers many screen display features to enhance communication:
Linear Scaling to present analog or digital data in readily understandable terms (i.e., degrees, speed)
Blinking Characters
Extended Character Set
Horizontal Scrolling
Timed Display
Beep on Display

Powerful Function Keys

The OIT3250B has 12 global function keys which can be configured to display screens or turn on/off discrete coils in the controller. The following modes of operation are available for each function key.

Function Key Mode Operation
Disabled No operation.
Push On/Off Emulates on/off switch. Sets a discrete coil in the controller when pressed; clears the coil when pressed again.
Latched Sets a discrete coil in the controller when pressed. The controller must clear the coil.
Momentary Emulates momentary switch. Sets a discrete coil in the controller when pressed; clears the coil when released.
Screen Display When pressed, displays assigned stored screen unless password protection is enabled or an alarm screen is currently displayed. If password protection is enabled, the OIT operator is prompted for a password and the screen is only displayed if the password is entered correctly.

Easy Customization

With the OIT3250B you can easily and inexpensively label the function keys and add a product ID label by simply inserting custom legends. Once installed these legends are completely sealed and protected.

Timer Events

The OIT3250B can be configured to display a screen and/or set a discrete coil in the controller at a particular time during a particular day of the week or daily. For example, you could configure the OIT to display Screen #10 and set coil 100 every day at 8:00 a.m. Up to 16 of these timer events can be programmed in the OIT. Timer events are checked by the OIT once every minute.

LEDs

The OIT3250B provides three types of LEDs:

LED Type Description
System LEDs These 4 LEDs provide the OIT operator with feedback on certain OIT events (ei.e., alarms and printing).
Status LEDs These 8 LEDs can be used to monitor 8 consecutive discrete coils in the controller. The coils are read once per second. If a coil is set, its LED is turned on. If a coil is clear, its LED is turned off.
Function Key LEDs Each global function key has an associated LED. Each of these LEDs can be controlled by a discrete coil in the controller or by the corresponding function key on the OIT.

Rugged & Reliable

Tough enough to function almost anywhere, the OIT3250B is sealed to NEMA 4/12 standards and meets CE specifications for electric noise immunity in commercial, light and heavy industrial environments. Reliability is not sacrificed to keep this product affordable. We use the best components available to ensure that our products operate flawlessly.
