This is a WAY-AX installation guide, including product features, operating modes, inputs, options and other information.
The WayCon WAY-AX is a display unit designed for industrial machines and systems, suitable for analog signals ranging from -10 to +10 V or 0/4 to 20 mA. It features a bright, high-contrast display with event-dependent color variations and supports intuitive parameterization via plain text and a touchscreen. The device offers various operating modes, including single-channel and dual-channel operations with combinations like sum, difference, multiplication, and division of inputs.
The manual covers safety instructions, electrical connections for power supply, auxiliary voltage, analog inputs, reference outputs, and control inputs. It details the configuration of optional features such as analog output, serial interface (RS232), control outputs, and relay outputs. Additionally, it explains the structure of the display and touch screen menus for parameterization and operation.
