Features
- New! The AID displays can now communicate with the control system also by means of the same communication protocols as are implemented in our programmable terminals. Therefore there is no need to take care of the communication in the control system, the communication and the possible formatting of displayed information is implemented in the display. If there are external buttons connected to the display, the editing of displayed data or screen switching is possible.
- 7-segment LED displays, 20mm high (38mm - AID1N5, 100mm - AID1NH5)
- front side covered by a foil with a high degree of protection
- front foil easily changed by the user
- strips for a user description of the displayed values
- intelligent setting and test by means of the display and two buttons
- indication of the state of digital inputs and communication lines by LED diodes
- possibility to upgrade the firmware version by the user
- power supply 12 to 30V DC or 12 to 19V AC (AID1NH5 20 to 30V DC or 19V AC), 7W (AID1NH5 20W), indicated by a LED diode, an input filter

Connection to the control system
Classic connection modes compatible with ASD displays
Connection via 3 digital signals 24V DC
For this way of connection there are necessary only 3 transistor outputs (NPN or PNP) on the side of a control system, which are usually available. Signals from these outputs are connected to 3 AID inputs and the data which should be displayed are transferred serially. The simplicity of the connection is of course at the cost of necessity to create a simple service routine for the control system which controls the data transmission to the display.
This way of connection is compatible with the connection of the display ASD48N, only the transmission timing is slightly different. Because the serial protocol supports addressing it is possible to connect several displays of all types of AID/ASD to the common conductors of the serial transfer.
The display can also be connected to outputs of the programmable terminal APT Premium or to an additional transistor output board on the programmable terminal APT80A-24AE. In such case the data transfer from the control system to the display is completely managed by the terminal and there is no need to create any serial data transfer program for the control system.
RS-232C connection
The data can be sent to the display by means of simple messages of a given format. For the connection there is possible to use the PLC port which enables transmission of a simple message at least. Because the display only receives the data (it transmits nothing) there can be more displays parallel-connected to a PLC interface and each display can show a different data.
Connection throuhg communication protocols
The operation of the display is controlled by an user program, which is created on the PC compatible computer by means of the programming software APT2 (it is delivered with each display).Communication protocols compatible with AID Alpha terminals
Communication protocols for PLCs:- Allen-Bradley SLC 500, MicroLogix 1000 (DF1)

- Omron (HostLink)
- Saia (S-Bus Parity Protocol) master or slave
- Tecomat TC600, TC500, TC400, NS950, NS946
Connection via 3 digital signals 24V DC
This protocol is by its physical connection identical with the classic ASD connection with 3 digital signals 24V. It is howewer simpler for the transmitting side (typically PLC controller) and offers the possibility of of data processing for presentation in the display by means of the user program in a similar way as with our terminals.All the properties of our terminals and displays are thoroughly described in the User Manual. For the terminals and displays of the AID series we have published an appendix to the User Manual, which describes their properties different from our other terminals. There can be both downloaded from our Download Page.
