TD200C AND S7-224XP

[alanled 0]

Hello, I have a program on a 224xp which has a list of subroutines which represent individual tests these subroutines were originally selected via a manual selector switch via plc inputs. I now what to replace the selector switch with a td200c enabling me to 'name' the subroutines so the operator can scroll up and down find the 'test'(subroutine) which is needed and press enter which would allow that subroutine to run. As Ive not used td200c before I would really appreciate some help. Many thanks.

There is a wizard in the software for configuring the TD200. Anything it is capable of can be selected in the wizard. I do not think you will be able to select recipes by name with this low-end HMI.

Yeah. TP is much more functional than TD. TD was really useful for text display but not much more...
