Using the Keypad
Pico controllers, with on-board keypad and LCD display, can be programmed entirely from the front keypad. Models without the keypad and LCD display are programmed by using PicoSoft programming software or by installing a pre-programmed memory module.
Pico controllers can contain 128 program rungs. Each rung may contain three input instructions and one output instruction. The instruction set includes:
- Input Instructions—examine-on and examine-off.
- Output Instructions—output enable (OTE), set (latch), reset (unlatch), and flip-flop (alternating on/off).
- Timer Instructions—on-delay, off-delay, single pulse, flashing.
- Counter Instructions—count up, count down.
- Real-time Clock Instructions—turn on or off based on time-of-day and day-of-week (models with real-time-clock only).
- Analog Compare Instructions—greater than or less than a setpoint or each other (12V DC, 24V DC, or 24V AC units only).
- Text Display Instructions—display messages, timers, counters, etc. on the LCD display.
