5 History
The history page displays the records of the important moments in the controller history.
There are 2 types of history records :
Event records - are also known as standard history records. This type of record appears in case the
controller event has been made. The time stamp history also belongs in the event history. The time record is
stored for a specified period of time.
System records - are also known as text history record. These type of records are generated during the user
login/off, controller programming or other system actions.

Image 5.1 : History page overview

1. Fixed column - has a different shade of colour. Fixed column is always merged and anchored on the left
side of the history page.
2. Event history record - this type of record appears in case the controller event has been made.The time
stamp history also belongs in the event history. The time record is stored for a specified period of time.
Pressing the enter button the dialog with detailed information for selected record is displayed.
3. System history record - this type of record appears in case the controller system action has been
made.The time stamp history also belongs in the event history. The time record is stored for a specified
period of time. Pressing the enter button the dialog with detailed information for selected record is displayed.
4. Jump to first row and column - the jump to the first row and first column is performed if the button is
pressed.
5. Listing mode - by pressing this button the listing mode is changed. There are available 3 modes : listing by
1 item, listing by 1 page, listing by 10 page. The mode is useful if the history is full of records. Listing mode is
also automatically changed if the listing buttons arrow up and down are pressed for longer time. Original
mode is set when the listing buttons are released.

InteliGen 500 Operator Guide 23

 Image 5.2 : History page - Item detail dialog

Note: Pressing the enter button on the actually selected row the dialog with detailed information for selected
record is displayed.

IMPORTANT: Each controller unit supports the specific number of history records. E.g. controller
InteliGen 500 supports 500 history records. Default configuration consists of 33 columns. Maximal
column amount is approximately 100 columns based on the type of the observed value.

InteliGen 500 Operator Guide 24

6 Administration
6.1 Init screen
The init screen is the special screen (bitmap) defined and stored in the controller. The init screen is displayed
during the booting procedure. The init screen is also accessible from administration as a first list item. The
purpose of the init screen is to allow the user to create and show his own initial logo screen during the booting
procedure. The init screen logo can be uploaded using the InteliConfig. By default the init screen is predefined
by ComAp.

Image 6.1 : Init screen overview

InteliGen 500 Operator Guide 25

6.2 Controller Info
Controller info page is dedicated for important information about the entire unit. These information is useful
mainly for issue troubleshooting .
Controller info page is divided into 3 main blocks of information :
Integrated Color Display unit
Controller unit
Configuration

Image 6.2 : Administration Page - Controller Info

Note: Similar values with similar structure can be displayed using InteliConfig PC tool.

InteliGen 500 Operator Guide 26

6.3 Modules Info
Modules info page is dedicated for important information about the connected modules information. The page
Modules Info displays the information from the following type of connected modules :
Plug-In modules
CAN peripheral extension modules

Image 6.3 : Administration Page - Modules Info

Note: The availability of the connected module depends on the type of controller unit.

6.4 Settings

Image 6.4 : Administration Page - Settings

1. Backlight Time - if the cell area is pressed the dialog for time settings is displayed. The user is able to set
the period from 1 up to 241 minutes. There is also the option to set NO Timeout which means the display unit
is backlighted forever.

InteliGen 500 Operator Guide 27

 2. Brightness Control :
a. Manual (by default) - the value of the backlight is set manually using the value dialog (point 3)
b. External - the value of the backlight is given by the Analog Input settings in InteliConfig and connected
value of resistor, voltage or current (based on the type of the selected sensor).
3. Brightness intensity - the value is selected using the value dialog. Note the value is applied immediately
during the change of the value.
4. Internal Temperature information- gives the actual inside temperature of the unit. There is implemented
automatic mechanism for lowering the backlight intensity based the internal derating backlight curve. If the
inside temperature exceeds 35 °C the area behind the temperature lights yellow. The yellow color indicates
that the display backlight curve is applied and automatically starts derate the backlight intensity. The
backlight intensity returns to normal when the temperature is decreased bellow 35 °C. This feature saves the
lifetime of the internal components.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended to use backlight on the standard level max. 60%.
Maximal backlight intensity level of 100% is suitable only for application with higher amount of the
ambient light. Be aware that higher intensity level means higher surface front glass temperature
and lower lifetime.

IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended to use Backlight Time (timer) set on the reasonable
amount of time (approximately 30 minutes) during the normal running genset or engine phase. It is
because of saving lifetime of the display unit. The display unit is still running if the backlight is off.
For switching on the LCD backlight the simple pressing any button is necessary.

The device is rebooted after import process.

IMPORTANT: Integrated color display unit firmware is updated in two steps. Firstly the firmware is
uploaded to the internal memory (indicated by icon ). The second step is the firmware update
from internal memory. The firmware is updated immediately after reboot using bootloader
(Indicated by progress bars and messages in limited GUI). After all the unit is automatically started
with new firmware.

IMPORTANT: Only in some special cases the import process using USB stick must be performed
twice. This situation is always described in New Feature List with more detailed information.

IMPORTANT: Only FAT16 and FAT32 file system on USB stick are supported.

Note: If the USB stick is plugged in the Import/Export page is automatically displayed.

Note: If the import process fails try the import process again.

InteliGen 500 Operator Guide 32

 Note: If the import process fails try to create new package file using InteliConfig.

6.8 Service screen

The service screen is the special screen (bitmap) defined and stored in the controller. The service screen is also
accessible from administration as a last list item. The purpose of the service screen is to allow the site
administrator to put into the display (resp. controller) important data for technical support. The status screen can
be uploaded using the InteliConfig. By default the service screen is predefined by ComAp.

Image 8.6 : Display brightness settings

Backlight Timeout - can be set at a range of 1 to 254 minutes or Disabled. Disabled means the backlight never
shuts down.
Brightness control
1. If the manual mode is chosen the user is responsible for his own backlight intensity.
2. If the External mode is chosen the display unit expects the external resistor (potentiometer) on its Analog
input. The type of sensor can be set in InteliConfig
Brightness intensity - The backlight intensity can be adjusted using the value dialog from 1 up to 100%. It is
not possible to set 0 to avoid total shutdown of backlight intensity.

IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended to use maximum backlight if it is really needed. The

temperature of the LCD grows linearly with the set of LCD backlight intensity. The product lifetime
is temperature dependant. In general it means higher temperature lower lifetime.

InteliGen 500 Operator Guide 40

 IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended to set the Backlight Timeout to reasonable time (e.g 5
minutes). If the backlight is off then any button press switch on the backlight again.
