Overview

Overview of Chapter 4
You do not configure or program the TD device. The Text Display wizard creates a
parameter block that stores the configuration, screens and alarms for the TD device. The S7-
200 CPU stores the parameter block in V memory. At power-up, the TD device reads the
parameter block from the S7-200 CPU.
You use the Text Display wizard of STEP 7-Micro/WIN to perform the following tasks:
● Configuring the parameters for the TD device
● Creating the screens and alarms to be displayed on the TD device
● Creating the language sets for the TD device (TD 200, TD 200C and TD400C only)
● Assigning the V memory address for the parameter block
Tip
To connect your TD device to a network, you use the Diagnostic or TD Setup Menu of the
TD device to set up the network addresses, baud rate and other parameters. Refer to
Chapter 5.

Overview of the Configuration Tasks

Overview of the Configuration Tasks
The S7-200 CPU stores the configuration data for the TD device, including the screens and
alarms, into a parameter block (located in V memory). The Text Display wizard creates the
parameter block. When you download your project (user program and data block) to the S7-
200 CPU, you also download the parameter block as part of the data block.
You do not configure or program the TD device. At power-up, the TD device reads the
parameter block from the S7-200 CPU.
As shown in the figure below, you use the Text Display wizard of STEP 7-Micro/WIN to
create the parameter block for the TD devices. The next figure shows the sequence of the
tasks required for configuring the parameters of the TD device.
