PRODUCT DETAILS
2080-LCD — Micro800 LCD Display and Keypad Module
The 2080-LCD is a plug-in display and keypad module for the Micro800 controller family, adding a small onboard LCD screen and basic navigation keys directly to the controller without requiring a separate panel-mount HMI terminal. It's used for simple status display, parameter viewing, and basic operator interaction on machines where a full graphic HMI would be more capability than the application calls for.

Local Display Without the Cost of a Full HMI
Many small machines need only minimal operator feedback — a status message, a fault code, a counter value, or a way to adjust a single setpoint locally. Specifying a full panel-mount HMI for that level of interaction adds cost, panel space, and a separate wiring/network connection that the application doesn't really need. The 2080-LCD covers that gap: it plugs directly onto the controller, displays user-programmed text and values, and accepts basic keypad input for simple parameter changes, all without a separate terminal or its associated cabling.
This isn't a substitute for a full HMI in applications with complex screens, alarm management, or trend displays — it's specifically for the simpler tier of local interaction where text and numbers are sufficient and a graphic interface would be overkill.
FAQ
Q: Can the 2080-LCD display custom text messages programmed by the user?
Yes, the controller's program can write custom status messages and values to the display, giving operators basic feedback without a separate HMI terminal.
Q: Does adding this module use one of the controller's expansion slots?
It mounts as a plug-in module directly on the controller body rather than occupying a position on the 2085 expansion bus, so it doesn't consume an I/O expansion slot.
Q: Can multiple 2080-LCD modules be installed on one controller?
Plug-in module capacity is limited by the number of plug-in positions on the specific controller model — verify the controller's plug-in slot count before planning for more than one display module.
Q: Is this module suitable for displaying alarm history or trend data?
No. Its display capability is limited to simple text and numeric values programmed by the user — for alarm history, trending, or graphic displays, a panel-mount HMI terminal running dedicated HMI software is the appropriate choice instead.
