Using the Text Display Wizard to Configure the S7-200 CPU for Your Text Display (TD) Device
4.3 Configuring the Text Display Device
Tip
When you create multiple language sets (TD 200, TD 200C, and TD400C), the Text Display
wizard copies the alarms and screens from the primary language set to the other language
set. You then edit the screens and alarms to translate the text displayed for the new
language set.
If you need to modify the screens or messages (such as to add a new variable or to add a
new alarm), you must edit the primary language. The Text Display wizard copies these
changes to the other language sets.
The Text Display wizard only allows you to change the text in the other language sets.
Selecting the Font Size (TD 100C, TD400C)
The TD 100C and TD400C support two font sizes for displaying user and alarm messages.
Larger fonts are easier to read, but will result in fewer characters per user message. You
select the font size for the TD100C as shown in the figure below. You select the font size for
the TD400C when you configure the alarm or user message (refer to the section on
configuring screens and alarms in this chapter).
The following font sizes are available:
● TD 100C:
● TD400C:
