Overview
Product Overview
The S7-200 TD devices provide a low-cost human-machine interface (HMI), allowing an
operator or user to interact with your application.
The TD devices allow you to configure a set of hierarchical user menus to provide additional
structure for the interaction with your application. You can also configure the TD device to
display alarms or messages that are enabled by specific bits in the S7-200 CPU.
Tip
The TD devices provide additional functionality, such as the hierarchical user-defined
menus. The TD 200C and the TD 200 are fully compatible with projects that were created
with earlier versions of the TD 200 (prior to TD 200 V3.0, which supported only the bit-
enabled messages from the S7-200 CPU).
You can use the TD 200C or the TD 200 device with an existing TD configuration without
having to modify the control program in the S7-200 CPU.
The TD 100C and the TD400C devices are not compatible with the TD 200 devices.
