Introduction
Easy to operate and observe
The TP 170A enables operating statuses and current process values concerning a
connected PLC to be graphically displayed and the relevant machine or system to
be easily monitored and operated. Display and operation of the TP 170A can be
adapted optimally for the respective process requirements by using the
configuration software ProTool/Lite, ProTool and ProTool/Pro CS (from
Version 5.2).
The TP 170A can be used to:
control and monitor the process intuitively. Setpoint values or control element
settings, for instance, can be modified by entering values or touching configured
buttons;
display processes, machines and systems graphically;
visualize operating and alarm messages and process tags, e.g. in output fields,
bar graphs or trend curves;
intervene directly in the operation by means of the touch-sensitive screen.
