The CTA Interface Keypads series is a front-mounted display and operator interface designed for CLM control systems, combining a liquid-crystal display with four lines of sixteen characters and a 20-key pressure-sensitive keypad for local machine interaction.
The series supports direct entry and editing of program data and parameter data, with dedicated keys for cursor movement, command selection, value changes, and fault clearing. CTA units are structured to work across parameter, manual, and automatic operating modes, allowing operators to move between software diagnostics, variable displays, I/O status screens, counter views, and program or parameter input functions. The interface can also present motion-related information such as actual position, lag distance, remaining distance, speed, and measuring wheel data, making it useful for monitoring multi-axis machine operation from the control panel. Overall, the CTA Interface Keypads series serves as a compact operator interface for setup, diagnostics, status viewing, and on-machine program handling within CLM-based systems.
