Display of the CPU
Uploading image to CPU
You can use the "User-defined logo" function under "Display" in the device view of the CPU
to load an image from your file system into the display of the CPU via STEP 7. To correctly
show the aspect ratio of the uploaded image, use the following dimensions depending on the
CPU images.
CPU
CPU 1511-1 PN
CPU 1513-1 PN
CPU 1515-2 PN
CPU 1516-3 PN/DP
CPU 1518-4 PN/DP
If the uploaded image exceeds the specified dimensions, only a section of the image is
displayed in the size of the specified dimensions. The "Adjust logo" provides you with the
option of scaling the image to the specified dimensions. However, note that the original
aspect ratio of the image is not retained in such cases.
To display the uploaded image on the display of the CPU, keep the ESC key pressed briefly
in the main screen of the display. When you upload a image and are located on the main
screen, the image is displayed automatically after 60 seconds. To hide the image again,
press any key on the display.
