Introduction
1 The Model D820 combines the functionality of a message display and operator entry
device into a single Operator Station. The D820 described in this manual is designed
specifically for the Cutler-Hammer D50/D300 series of Programmable controllers.
The D820 communicates directly to the processor through the Programming port
eliminating the need for additional communication interface modules. A
communication cable is supplied with your hardware shipment. This cable not only
provides the communication link between the D820 and the processor, but also
power to the Micro PanelMate. Simply plug and play.
Once communication has been established the D820 can access all Word registers
(W), Internal Relays (M), and Keep Relays (K) within the D50/D300 series
processor. Access to External I/O and Remote Area(R) is also allowed, however,
modification is not possible. The D820 can access only those file words that exist
within the PLC to which it is connected.
A separate utility, Micro PanelMate Configuration Editor Software, is used to
upload and download page configurations to the D820. The Micro PanelMate
Configuration Editor Software resides on a personal computer. The software manual
will describe the procedure to configure pages, in addition a separate manual
entitled Getting Started will demonstrate all steps necessary to use the D820.
To transfer pages to/from the D820 and personal computer, an RS232 to RS485
converter is necessary.
Explanation of the customization of the D820 is covered in Chapter 4 Custom Mode.
The triggering of pages, appearance, and functionality of the D820 are all covered in
detail under this section.
4 Chapter 1: Introduction
♦ Characters that would appear in the thirty two character display window will be
shown in bold print and within quotation marks. If the entire display window is
shown, it will appear as a rectangular box with the characters displayed in the
relative position in which they would appear.
Example of Conventions
Example of characters: "PAGE"
Example of entire display window:
♦ Labels that refer to any of the eight keys on the D820 will be shown in bold
print and always in capital letters.
Product Overview
The D820 can be used right out of the box to manipulate Timers, Counters, Word
Registers, Internal Relays, and Keep Relays (Input/Output Relays may be monitored
but not modified). Please note this is considered TCAM Mode and care should be
taken as to who uses this feature since access to the PLC is not limited.
In addition to TCAM Mode, the D820 also operates in Custom Mode. Once the
D820 receives a page, which is designed and downloaded via the Micro PanelMate
Configuration Editor Software, it is considered to be in Custom Mode. A page is
similar to a canned message and may include variable information from the PLC.
These variables may be modified through the D820's keyboard.
Chapter 1: Introduction 5
A page may use all or only part of the thirty two character display window. There
are two object types that allow fixed data or variable data to be included in each
page. Up to three objects may be included in a single page, including up to 2 PLC
data objects.
A brief explanation of the object types is given below.
Text This object allows fixed character strings to be displayed within a page.
The object size and position are user defined.
PLC Data This object will display variable information from within the PLC. The
address from which data will be retrieved is specified when the PLC
Data object is created. The data can be displayed in Decimal, Hex,
Binary, or ASCII formats. Modification to the value may be enabled or
disabled. Individual data value limits are also set for each PLC Data
object created. If enabled, values are changed by moving focus to the
object and pressing ENTER; a new value is then keyed in via the
arrows keys and the ENTER key pressed.
Detailed information on page and object creation can be found in the Micro
PanelMate Configuration editor.

Chapter 2: Power Up 7
Power Up
2
Page File Load Mode
When power is first applied to the D820, the keyboard is scanned to see if the
ENTER key is being held down. If it is being held down the D820 will enter into its
Page File Load Mode. This mode is used for Uploading and Downloading of
configurations created within the Micro PanelMate software.
If an Upload or Download is desired press the YES key. If configuration loading is
not desired, press NO to re-boot the D820. Once the D820 is setup into its Page File
Load Mode the software can proceed with the Upload/Download process. Upon
completion of transfer power must be cycled.
CAUTION
Care must be taken to plug the upload/ download cable into the D820 prior to
applying power. Since the D820 uses metallized connectors, proper care must be
taken to establish a clean connection. This also applies to Run Mode. Apply the
connector to the back of the D820 then plug the communication cable into the
D50/D300 processor.
8 Chapter 2: Power Up
Run Mode
If the ENTER key is not held down on Power Up the D820 will enter Run Mode.
The first task is to display a series of three informational screens which indicate the
Part ID number and software version. The following are graphic representations of
each screen that will be displayed:
CUTLER-HAMMER
Version X.XX
D800MPMD820A
Then...
CUTLER-HAMMER
D50/300 INTERFACE
Power Up Procedure
During the aforementioned three screen display, the D820 will attempt to
communicate to the PLC. If successful the D820 will proceed by looking for the
lowest page number contained in its memory. If the D820 has not been programmed
with a page configuration, it will start into TCAM Mode.
If the D820 is not successful in establishing communication (regardless of Mode) the
following page will display:
COMM FAILURE
ANY KEY TO RETRY
Simply press any key to restart the D820. If the unit does not attach to the PLC
successfully, refer to Appendix B: Error Codes for further diagnosis and suggestions.
Chapter 3: TCAM Mode 9
TCAM Mode
3 After communications with the PLC has been established, the D820 will look to see
if it has a page resident in memory. If the unit is programmed, Section 4: Custom
Mode will define this operational state. If the D820 does not contain any pages, the
unit will default to TCAM Mode. The following page will appear:
Selecting Timer/Counters
If the Up/Down arrows are pressed...
Pressing the Up arrow will cause the T/C to increment (T/C001). Pressing the
Down arrow will cause the T/C to decrement(T/C255). By holding down either the
Up or Down arrow, the D820 will scroll through the address rapidly versus
individually.
♦ Pressing the ENTER key will download the value into the PLC and return the
operator back to the page with the word "Chg?".
♦ Pressing the YES key will toggle between the SV and PV and change the
display to the following:
At this time, the operator will be allowed to modify the Present Value. After
changing the value via the arrow keys, the operator may choose between two
choices;
• If the YES key is pressed, the value will be downloaded to the PLC and the
display will return to the "Chg?" page.
• If the NO key is pressed, the value will be discarded and the display will return
to the "Next?" page.

At this time, by using the Up/Down arrow keys, the operator may edit the digit "1".
By using the Right/Left arrow keys, the operator can select any digit to edit.
When finished, the operator can select either the YES key or the ENTER key. The
YES key will disregard any changes and return the operator to the "Chg?" page.
The ENTER key will download the changes made to the data to the PLC.

Custom Mode
4 If the D820 has custom pages programmed via the Micro PanelMate Configuration
Editor Software, upon power up, the D820 will trigger the lowest page in its
memory. From this point on page triggering is then left up to the application
program or the D820.
This section will describe the Trigger word and both ways that pages can be sent to
the D820 display.
R MUL D=W100 25 x 1
This circuit assumes that the Trigger reference loaded into the D820 refers to PLC
address W100. When the trigger circuit energizes(via the rise), the value of 25 will
be moved to the D820's Trigger 1 causing page 25 to be displayed. Note: If page
number 25 has not been downloaded to the D820 an error message will be displayed.
Command Word
5 The Command Word reference is viewed by the D820 as sixteen individual bits. The
individual bits in the Command Word instruct the D820 to perform a specific
function, or indicate the status of a function.
The D820 will monitor and update the Command Word frequently, so each of the
bits may be changed by the PLC application program at any time.
The Command Word is configured using only a M word reference, assigned in the
"Setup" section of the Micro PanelMate software.
Please note that the Command Word does not have to be referenced in the PLC in
order to have the D820 work. This structure is used to take advantage of the
extra/unique features of the D820.
Once the M word is configured in the off-line configuration editor software, the
D820 can communicate to the D50/D300 PLC without any further ladder logic
programming.
Refer the following section entitled Command Word Structure to better understand
the power of using the Command Word in the PLC application program.

Power Up (Bit 7)
Command Word bit 7 will be pulsed by the D820 on Power Up. Since the bit is
pulsed there is no need for the PLC application program to de-energize it. This may
be useful if used in the application program to trigger some action on Power Up. If
the function is not used by the application program it may simply be ignored.
Chapte 6: Key Definition 21
Key Definition
6 The D820 keypad is made up of 8 user keys which can be used for a variety of
different uses. The following is an explanation of each user key:
SELECT Key
The SELECT key is used to maneuver focus to any data objects on the display. Focus
will be demonstrated on the page by overlaying flashing block characters [] over the
entire field. Each time the SELECT key is pressed, focus will move from one PLC
data object to the next in the order they were created. When the SELECT key is
pressed and no more PLC data objects exist, focus will be de-activated for the page
and the Up & Down arrow keys will be active.
ENTER Key
The ENTER key is used to send a new value to the PLC. When focus has been
passed to a PLC Data object the ENTER key will send a newly entered value to the
PLC providing the entry is valid.
YES, NO Keys
These two keys have been furnished to the user to use as tools in a specific
application.
Switch Image
The keys are configured as Switch Image they will act as momentary pushbuttons.
The status of the switch is held in the Command Word. Refer to the section entitled
Yes No Keys (Bits 3 & 4) view how the Command Word will be affected.
22 Chapter 6: Key Definition
UP
This key will trigger the assigned page number to the trigger word. The Up arrow
key is ignored if a value of zero has been assigned or a PLC Data object has been
selected in the displayed page.
DOWN
This key will trigger the assigned page number to the trigger word. The Down arrow
key is ignored if a value of zero has been assigned or a PLC Data object has been
selected in the displayed page.
Accessories
A The Communication port on the D820 has been designed to communicate with the
PLC or the Micro PanelMate Configuration Editor Software package. The following
drawings illustrate the cable pinouts necessary for communications. Part Number:
D800CBLCH82.
Access Plate
All connections to the D820 are made through two connectors located on the back of

Wiring Considerations
Care should be taken when routing DC power supply cable and the communication
cable. Follow these guidelines for a trouble free installation:
♦ The DC power lines and communication cable must be kept away from AC
power lines. Keep both at least one foot away from 115 VAC lines, and two feet
away from higher voltage lines. This especially applies to the communication
cable. If the cables must cross AC power lines, cross them at right angles.
♦ Keep the cables away from sources of high energy fields such as arc welders,
AC motors, motor starters, servo controllers, generators, induction heaters, and
transformers.
