Configuring texts

The first screen is to be the start screen on the C7. It will display only the system name.
The system name is configured as the text.
The cursor is located in the first line of the first screen entry (see above). Enter the system name
there: System_1.
SIMATIC C7 startup always ends automatically with a display of the configured start screen. The screen
you have just configured (display of the text: System_1) is now to be displayed after the next loading of
the configuration. You must therefore mark this screen as the start screen.
Select the menu item Edit → Properties . In the PIC_6 dialog box, select Start Screen . Do not change
the other settings.
You can also define a new name for the screen: Start_Sys1.
Close the dialog box with OK .
You have now created the first screen. Now, transfer the configuration to the OP to see what the screen
looks like.
