Preface
Purpose
SIMATIC TD 200 Operator Interface User Manual
The
manual that describes the operation of the TD 200 Operator Interface Module with an S7-200
programmable logic controller.
Audience
This manual is designed for engineers, programmers, and maintenance personnel who have
a general knowledge of programmable logic controllers and operator interfaces.
Scope of This Manual
This manual describes the operation of version 1.1 and later of the TD 200. This release
includes new features and other operational enhancements.
Release Notes
Version 1.1 of the TD 200 includes the following new features:
S Supports real (floating-point) numbers
S Provides password protection for editable variables and for the Menu mode of operation
S Supports multiple parameter blocks in a single S7-200 CPU (with a setup menu for
entering the V memory address)
S Supports 19.2 Kbaud communication rate (with a setup menu for changing the baud rate)
S Sets a bit in the parameter block every time an arrow key is pressed, thus allowing your
program to have more control of the TD 200
S Includes an alternative character set for creating bar charts
Other enhancements (such as using any key—not just the ESC key—to cancel the scrolling
of the messages, or using SHIFT-ENTER to set a variable to 0) either improve the
performance of the TD 200 or make it easier to use. For example, you can now use the
SHIFT-UP/DOWN arrow keys to perform a character-by-character edit of a variable that is
embedded in a message.
Version 1.2 of the TD 200 includes the following new features:
S Corrects problems with multi-master networks
S Makes the editors more consistent
For upgrades to version 1.2 of the TD 200, contact your distributor.

Configuring the TD 200
The TD 200 is a text display device that displays messages enabled by the S7-200 CPU.
You do not have to configure or program the TD 200. The only operating parameters stored
in the TD 200 are the address of the TD 200, the address of the CPU, the baud rate, and the
location of the parameter block. The configuration of the TD 200 is stored in a TD 200
parameter block located in the variable memory (V memory) of the CPU. The operating
parameters of the TD 200, such as language, update rate, messages, and message-enabled
bits, are stored in the TD 200 parameter block in the CPU.
Upon power-up, the TD 200 reads the parameter block from the CPU. All of the parameters
are checked for legal values. If everything is acceptable, the TD 200 starts actively polling
the message-enabled bits to determine what message to display , reads the message from
the CPU, and then displays the message.

Configuring the TD 200
2.1 Starting the STEP 7–Micro/WIN TD 200 Configuration Wizard
STEP 7–Micro/WIN provides a “wizard” that makes it easy to configure the parameter block
and the messages in the data memory area of the S7-200 CPU. The TD 200 Configuration
Wizard automatically writes the parameter block and message texts to the data block editor
after you finish choosing the options and creating the messages. This data block can then be
downloaded to the CPU. For detailed information about the TD 200 parameter block and
message formats, see Appendix D.
This chapter contains the procedure for creating a sample TD 200 application. Use the
instructions in this example to create a TD 200 parameter block and three messages using
the TD 200 Configuration Wizard. The first message is text only . The second message
contains both text and embedded data. The third message is a text message that requires
acknowledgement by the operator.
The example also shows how to use the function keys to enable a message and how to use
the acknowledge- and edit-notification bits within your program.
To open the wizard, select the menu command T

Configuring the TD 200
Enabling Time-of-Day, Force Function, and Password Protection
The dialog box shown in Figure 2-3 allows you to enable Menu mode options and set an edit
password.
The Time-of-Day (TOD) and force menu selections allow you to selectively enable the T OD
Clock menu and/or the Force menu. Once a selection is enabled, you are allowed to access
that menu in the TD 200. If the menu is not enabled, it does not appear in the TD 200 Menu
mode.
The password protection selection allows you to enable a four-digit password (from 0000 to
9999). The password controls the ability of the operator to edit variables embedded in a
message and to access the Menu mode. If you enable password protection, a field appears
in the dialog box for you to set the password. This password is not the CPU password and it
is stored in the TD 200 parameter block.
For this example, use the option buttons to select the modes shown in Figure 2-3. Set 1 111
as your password.
TD 200 Configuration Wizard
You can configure your TD 200 to allow the user to set the Time of Day clock in the
CPU, and to Force I/O in the CPU. You can also password-protect these options, so
that a user may only access them after entering the correct 4-digit password.
Would you like to enable the Time-of-Day (TOD) menu on your TD 200?
Yes
No
Would you like to enable the force menu on your TD 200?

Specifying Function Key Memory Bits and Display Update Rate
The dialog box shown in Figure 2-5 allows you to specify the marker byte (M memory)
address for the TD 200 function keys and determine the update rate of the TD 200.
You must reserve eight bits of marker memory (M bits) for the TD 200 to use when a function
key is pressed. Your program can inspect these bits and take an action when a key is

Configuring the TD 200
Warning
!
The TD 200 sets an M bit each time a function key is pressed. If you do not intend to use
function keys, and so do not assign an M byte address for function keys, the TD 200
defaults to byte M0 for the function keys. If your program uses bits in M0, and a user
presses any function key, the TD 200 sets the corresponding bit in M0, overwriting the
value assigned to that bit by your program.
Inadvertent changes to M bits could cause your program to behave unexpectedly .
Unpredictable controller operation could cause death or serious injury to personnel, and/or
damage to equipment.
Always reserve an M area address, even when your program does not utilize function
keys.
Figure 2-4 shows a referenced byte (MBn) and shows which bit of the byte is set by each
function key.

The update rate selection determines how often the TD 200 polls the S7-200 CPU for
messages to display . The actual update time may be slower than the time that you select
because of the size of the message, the processing required, or network traffic.
For this example, select M0 and As fast as possible as shown in Figure 2-5.
TD 200 Configuration Wizard
The TD 200 has 8 function keys (F1 through F4 and SHIFT F1 through SHIFT F4)
that are used to set memory bits in the CPU. You must reserve eight bits of memory
(M bits) for the TD 200 to set when a function key is pressed. One M bit is set by
the TD 200 each time the corresponding function key is pressed.
Which byte of M memory would you like to reserve for the TD 200?
0
The update rate determines how often the TD 200 polls the CPU for messages to
display. How often would you like the TD 200 to poll for messages?

Selecting Message Size and Number of Messages
The dialog box shown in Figure 2-6 allows you to set the message size and quantity of
messages. Select a 20- or 40-character size for your messages. The TD 200 supports up to
80 messages. Enter a number from 1 to 80 in the text field to specify the number of
messages you want to create.
For this example, choose three 40-character messages.

Specifying Parameter Block Address, Message Enable Address, and Message Location
The dialog box shown in Figure 2-7 allows you to specify starting addresses for the
parameter block, the message enable flags, and the messages.
The TD 200 looks for a parameter block in the V memory of the CPU. The default location for
the parameter block is VB0. The default location can be changed. See Section 3.8 and
Section D.1 for information about placing the parameter block at other locations.
The starting byte for the message enable flags defines the location in V memory at which the
message enable flags begin. There are eight message enable flags stored in each byte.
Whole bytes must be allocated for message enable flags even if all the bits are not used.
The text in the dialog box shown in Figure 2-7 specifies how many bytes of V memory are
needed for message enable flags based on the number of messages you set in the previous
(Figure 2-6) dialog box.
The starting byte for message information defines the starting location of the first message in
V memory . Messages are placed consecutively in memory. Either 20 or 40 bytes are
reserved for each message based on your selection in the previous dialog box (Figure 2-6).
The text in the dialog box shown in Figure 2-7 specifies how many bytes are required for
messages.
V alues for the parameter block, enable flags, and message information starting addresses
are CPU specific. See the
valid address ranges for specific CPUs.
For this example, set the parameter block starting byte to 0, the enable flags address to 12,
and the message information starting address to 40 as shown in Figure 2-7.

Creating A Text-Only Message
The dialog box in Figure 2-8 allows you to enter the text for a TD 200 message. The dialog
box also shows you the starting address of the message (Message beginning address). It
also shows you the address of the message-enabled bit for this message. Your program
uses this message-enabled bit to control the display of this message on the TD 200. Setting
the message-enabled bit to a 1 causes the TD 200 to read and display this message.
For this example, type in your message as shown in Figure 2-8. This is a text-only message,
so there is no embedded data. Since there are two more messages to configure in this
example, click on “Nex

Embedding Data Values in a Text Message
You can place a data value within the message that displays on the TD 200. In order to
display a data value, you must reserve space in the message for the data value and for
format information. The format information tells the TD 200 how to display and edit the data
value. The format information requires the space of two characters in your message. Word
data values require the space of two characters in addition to the format information (four
characters total). Double word or real (floating point) values require the space of four
characters in addition to the format information (six characters total).
When you insert a data value into a message, you must be sure there are enough characters
to contain the format information and the embedded data value on the current line of the
display . For example, if you insert a word value, (two characters for the word value and two
characters for the format information), you must allow at least four spaces between the
starting position of the embedded data value and the end of the current message line.
The right-most character of an embedded data value serves as the anchor point for that
value in the TD 200 display . Data values are always right justified to that anchor point within
messages on the TD 200 display . As a data value grows in magnitude, it utilizes more
spaces to the left of the anchor point and can begin to use the spaces occupied by the
message text. Be sure to leave sufficient space between the end of your text and the anchor
point to allow for the expected range of the data value.
The number of display characters used to display a value varies with the size of the value.
This number of characters required to display a number is not the same as the number of
characters used to store the embedded data value in the message. The number of display
characters required depends on the range of values for that number in a specific application.
See Table D-1 for examples of the number of display characters required for different display
formats.
The TD 200 displays all values as decimal numbers. Positive signed values are displayed
without a sign. Negative signed values are displayed with a leading minus sign. Unsigned
values are displayed without a sign. A leading zero is used for all fractional numbers (for
example, 0.5). Real numbers are displayed with the number of decimal places you specify .
The value is rounded to the specified decimal place.

Formatting the Embedded Data Value
Figure 2-10 shows the Embedded Data dialog box. This dialog box allows you to specify the
data type, format, and display characteristics of an embedded data value. You can also
select whether or not the message requires acknowledgement, whether the data value can
be edited, and whether or not editing requires a password. Some options depend on the
selections you make and do not appear when the dialog box opens.
The data format selection defines the size of the data value embedded in the message:
S Select “None” when a message requires acknowledgement but there is no embedded
data value to be displayed on the TD 200.
S Select “Word“ when the embedded data value is an integer. A word or integer value
requires the space of two characters within your message to hold the data value.
S Select “Double Word” when the embedded data value is a double word or a real (floating
point) value. A double word or real value requires the space of four characters within your
message to hold the data value.
The display format selection tells the TD 200 whether the data value is signed or unsigned.
The TD 200 uses this information when editing the data value. Signed values may be either
positive or negative numbers. Unsigned values are restricted to positive numbers.
The selection for digits to the right of the decimal provides scaling for the display of the data
value. If the data value is an integer, this selection allows you to scale the integer value for
display by specifying the location of the decimal point. For example, if the data value is equal
to 123 and you select 1 digit to the right of the decimal, the TD 200 displays 12.3.
The Embedded Data dialog box contains a check box to require acknowledgement of the
message. If a message requires acknowledgement, it flashes on the TD 200 display until the
operator presses ENTER. The dialog box also contains a check box for allowing editing of
the data value. If this box is selected, the operator can edit the embedded data value. If the
box is not checked, the data cannot be edited.
The Embedded Data dialog box also lists the address of the data value within the message.
The user program uses this address to write the data value in the message.
For this example, make the selections shown in Figure 2-10 and click “OK.”

This variable displays as a real number which requires a double word data format. After you
select “D
number format. For real numbers, the field entitled Digits to the r
ouble Word,” the Display Format area allows selection of a real (floating point)
ight of the decimal defines
the fixed decimal location of the real number in the TD 200 display . The TD 200 rounds a real
number to the specified decimal place. For example, if the real number value is 123.456 and
you select 2 digits to the right of the decimal, the TD 200 displays this value as 123.46.
In this example, this variable should be editable by the user. Select the check box that allows
the user to edit the data. Once the edit-allowed selection has been made, two new fields
appear in the Embedded Data dialog box.
The Edit Notification Bit field specifies the location of a bit which the TD 200 sets to 1
whenever the data value is edited and written to the CPU. The CPU program uses the
edit-notification bit to recognize when an editable data value has been changed. The
program can then read and make use of the edited value. The user program is responsible
for resetting this bit to 0.
The password-protected check box asks you if you wish to require a password for editing
this data value. If checked, the operator must enter a password before being allowed to edit
the data value. You selected the password at the beginning of the configuration process (see
Figure 2-3); it is shown in the Password for Edit field.
