First connect the keyboard and the mouse to the AKC (PAC"Programmable Automation Controller" PAC is a compact controller that combines the features and capabilities of a PC-based control system with that of a typical programmable logic controller (PLC). A PAC thus provides not only the reliability of a PLC, but also the task flexibility and computing power of a PC. Additionally, because they function and communicate over popular network interface protocols, PACs are able to transfer data from the machines they control to other machines and components in a networked control system) (as well as the monitor if it is not built into the AKC) to be sure that the AKC correctly starts when it is powered by a supply voltage of 24v (not necessarily provided).
The box PAC is equipped with a DVI port, as seen to the right. DVI ports are backwards compatible for use with VGA monitors when using a DVI-to-VGA adapter. The first time the PAC is booted, an external monitor will only stay on for a brief time. The system needs to be configured from the keyboard, depending on what is connected to the DVI port. Press the keyboard combination shown below that matches your set-up. This configuration is automatically saved.

| CTRL-ALT-F4 | CTRL-ALT-F1 |
How to recover when the monitor seems to be unplugged or switched off
The problem is probably due to the internal graphical card configuration and the currently known solution is the following:
After the reboot operation, your AKC (PAC) should now work normally.
To be sure that the modification has been done properly, explore again the hardware configuration and compare it with the figure below.
One of the controllers must be deactivated (see red cross on its icon).
Please find in the table below the list of each AKC (PAC) component available:

| AKC-PLC"Programmable Logic Controller" A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC, or Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events-C1-224-00N-00-000 | Box Controller, Celeron 1.2GHz CPU, 2G RAM, 4G CF, 128KB NVRAM"Non-volatile random access memory" NVRAM is the general name used to describe any type of random access memory which does not lose its information when power is turned off. This is in contrast to the most common forms of random access memory today, which both require continual power in order to maintain their data. NVRAM is a subgroup of the more general class of non-volatile memory types, the difference being that NVRAM devices offer random access, like hard disks. The best-known form of NVRAM memory today is flash memory |
