Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Application
The LCD Configuration Tool is an independent PC software, and it can be used to create and
modify the LCD interface configuration for the RCS-9700C series bay control units (i.e.: BCU:
such as RCS-9701C, RCS-9702C RCS-9710C). The LCD interface includes menu interface,
metering displaying interface, remote control interface, report interface and main diagram.
According to the demands of the practical engineering, this tool can create and modify the relevant
LCD interface configuration, and then downloads it to the corresponding BCU. This software
provides friendly and convenient menus for the user to configure the communication devices.
