The 2100 Series is a very powerful yet flexible panel message display.
The following represents a brief list of popular applications:
Data can be received from a variety of sources such as PLCs, PCs or nearly any device that can provide formatted serial ASCII data output. Serial scripts are used to drive message delivery and the operation of the unit.
The 2100PC features a 16-bit parallel port in addition to the serial communications of the 2100SB. Messages can be called up via the parallel port or by sending a serial message number. In addition, the 2100PC features a very powerful scripting language that allows the user to significantly customize the operation.
Drive Large Marquee or Digital Display
The 2100PC is fully capable of driving a large format display such as the Vorne M1000 large marquee or 87 Series large digital displays. Messages are sent via the 2100's RS-232 or RS-485 serial port.
Show messages in English and in an alternate language such as Spanish at the touch of a button. Or choose from the three additional resident character sets such as Slavic, Cyrillic or Katakana for even more language specific messaging options.
Using the 2100PCs powerful scripting feature it is possible to “filter†other serial ASCII protocols to emulate the operation of similar panel message displays. The 2100PC is an excellent replacement for Cincinnati Electrosystems (CEI) models 5004D, 5009, 5010 and 5210A, Morrison Millennium 2000, Red Lion MDI and ADI, Uticor PMD and Rockwell Automation® Allen-Bradley® Dataliner™ models DL20 and DL40.
Serial Buffered Displays – Easy to use and cost effective, the 2100SB is the best choice whenever information is available in a serial RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 format. The large capacity RAM buffer can store up to 256 characters, enabling very flexible message formatting. Choose VT102 terminal emulation mode for your simplest applications. Sending data to the display is as easy as writing to a printer.
An easy-to-use ASCII based command set taps into the full power of the 2100SB. Intuitive commands handle text display, cursor control, scrolling, blinking, message timing, looping, relay operation and much more. Our unique multi-tasking environment allows independent processing of up to four simultaneous tasks. Control over the display, relay output and front panel keys is user defined, not factory imposed.
A few key presses and your 2100SB unit can be automatically configured as a slave for any 2100PC canned message display.
Canned Message Displays - Easily interfaced to PLCs and PCs the 2100PC display has all the features of the 2100SB plus an 18-bit parallel input port and storage for over 1,000 pre-programmed messages. No batteries here! All of your messages are securely stored in 128K bytes of Flash memory. And with 1,024 message slots available, running out of message space is a thing of the past. Messages can be directed to the entire display, a single line, a portion of a line or even out the com port to another display or device.
The 2100PC provides a full range of options for message call-up. Trigger messages with the parallel or serial port. Load up to 16 variables for subsequent messages. Use strobed or unstrobed parallel operation with signed or unsigned BCD or binary data formats.
The unique and powerful scripting capability of the 2100PC allows extremely flexible operation including emulation of other devices or protocols. Scripts can also be used to capture key presses or even send selected messages to other displays (such as our model M1000 large alphanumeric display or our 87 Series large digital displays).
Vorne Display-Pro 2100 Software
A programmable display is only as good as the software used to program it. Vorne Display-Pro® 2100 programming software for the 2100PC is Windows® based and features Quick Edit – a very simple “point and click†message design environment. Quick Edit is a highly intuitive way to edit text messages with scrolling, blinking, variable data and relay operation attributes. The more advanced Script Edit unleashes the full power of the 2100PC with 16 bit integer math, flow control, I/O processing and task management features. And of course the software is yours free of charge!
The following general specifications are standard for all 2100 Series products.
50,000 Hours (to half brightness)
The 2100 displays mounts in the user's panel through a rectangular cutout and is secured with four 10/32 hex nuts to threaded studs located at the corners of the bezel.
