LOCAL USER INTERFACE The NDX Local User Interface (LUI) includes 4 capacitive touch buttons: Enter menu & select / accept value to change Move within menus & change values Buttons can be used with the cover installed or removed. When installing the cover make sure that the cover button symbols are at the same position as the symbols on the LUI module inside the device. User LUI access can be restricted to guarantee safe and secure process operation. Any user is always able to see all LUI information without restrictions (read only mode), but modification of settings or activating any local...
