The text display area is a backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) with two
20-character lines. It allows you to see messages received from the
S7-200 CPU.
A gasket is provided with the TD 200 for installation in inclement
environments.
The communication port is a 9-pin D-connector that allows you to
connect the TD 200 to an S7-200 CPU using the supplied TD/CPU
cable.
You can connect an external power supply to the TD 200 through the
power connection access located on the right side of the TD 200. This
connection is not required when you use the TD/CPU cable.
The TD/CPU cable provides communication and power to your TD 200.
It is a 9-pin, straight-through cable that is supplied with your TD 200.
The user label is a pull-out label that you can use to customize the
function key labels for your applications.
The TD 200 has nine keys. Five of these keys provide predefined,
context-sensitive functions, and four keys provide user-defined functions.
Self-adhesive spacers are included for mounting the TD 200 to a
