1 You must calculate your power budget to determine how much power (or current) the S7-200 CPU can provide for your configuration. If the CPU power budget is exceeded, you may not be able to connect the maximum number of modules. See Appendix A for CPU and expansion module power requirements, and Appendix B to calculate your power budget.

Display Panels Text Display Units The Text Display (TD) is a display device that can be connected to the S7-200. Using the Text Display wizard, you can easily program your S7-200 to display text messages and other data pertaining to your application.
The TD device provides a low cost interface to your application by allowing you to view, monitor, and change the process variables pertaining to your application.
The S7-200 product family provides four TD devices:
- The TD100C has a 4-line text TD 100C TD 200
display with 2 font choices. - The TD 200C has a 2-line text display with 20 characters per line for a total of 40 characters. TD400C TD 200C - The TD 200 has a faceplate which provides four keys with predefined, set-bit functions and allows up to Text Display eight set-bit functions. - The TD400C can have a 2- 2 or 4-line text display depending on Figure 1-3 Text Display Units your font and character choice. For more information about the Text Display Units, refer to the SIMATIC Text Display (TD) User Manual on the STEP 7--Micro/WIN docuCD.
The Text Display wizard in STEP 7--Micro/WIN helps you configure Text Display messages quickly and easily. To start the Text Display wizard, select the Tools > Text Display Wizard menu command.
Operator and Touch Panel Displays
The OP 73micro and TP 177micro panels are tailored to applications with SIMATIC S7-200 Micro PLC and provide operating and monitoring functions for small-scale machines and plants. Short configuration and commissioning times, and their configuration in WinCC flexible form the highlights of these panels. In addition, these panels support up to 32 configuration languages and five online languages, including the Asian and Cyrillic character sets. The mounting dimensions of the Operator Panel OP 73micro with its graphical 3” display unit are compatible with OP3 and TD 200. Touch Panel TP 177micro replaces the Touch Panel TP 070/TP 170micro. It can be mounted vertically to accommodate additional applications. This feature enables its use even when space is Figure 1-4 Operator and Touch Panel Displays restricted.

Connecting the S7-200 CPU
Connecting your S7-200 is easy. For this example, you only need to connect power to your S7-200 CPU and then connect the communications cable between your programming device and the S7-200 CPU.
Connecting Power to the S7-200 CPU
The first step is to connect the S7-200 to a power source. Figure 2-1 shows the wiring connections for either a DC or an AC model of the S7-200 CPU.
Before you install or remove any electrical device, ensure that the power to that equipment has been turned off. Always follow appropriate safety precautions and ensure that power to the S7-200 is disabled before attempting to install or remove the S7-200.
Warning Attempts to install or wire the S7-200 or related equipment with power applied could cause electric shock or faulty operation of equipment. Failure to disable all power to the S7-200 and related equipment during installation or removal procedures could result in death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment. Always follow appropriate safety precautions and ensure that power to the S7-200 is disabled before attempting to install or remove the S7-200 or related equipment.

8 Getting Started Chapter 2
Connecting the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master Cable
Figure 2-2 shows an RS-232/PPI Programming Multi-Master cable connecting the Device S7-200 to the programming device. To connect the cable: S7-200 1. Connect the RS-232 connector (marked “PC”) of the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable to the communications port of the programming device. (For this RS-232/PPI example, connect to COM 1.) Multi-Master Cable 2. Connect the RS-485 connector (marked “PPI”) of the RS-232/PPI ↑1 -- On Multi-Master cable to Port 0 or ↓0 -- Off Port 1 of the S7-200. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
3. Ensure that the DIP switches of
the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable are set as shown in Figure 2-2. Figure 2-2 Connecting the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master Cable
Tip Examples in this manual use the RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable. The RS-232/PPI Multi-Master cable replaces the previous PC/PPI cable. A USB/PPI Multi-Master cable is also available. Refer to Appendix E for order numbers.

9 Installing the S7-200 Chapter 3
Tip Using DIN rail stops could be helpful if your S7-200 is in an environment with high vibration potential or if the S7-200 has been installed vertically. If your system is in a high-vibration environment, then panel-mounting the S7-200 will provide a greater level of vibration protection.
Removing a CPU or Expansion Module
To remove an S7-200 CPU or expansion module, follow these steps:
1. Remove power from the S7-200.
2. Disconnect all the wiring and cabling that is attached to the module. Most S7-200 CPU and expansion modules have removable connectors to make this job easier. 3. If you have expansion modules connected to the unit that you are removing, open the access cover door and disconnect the expansion module ribbon cable from the adjacent modules. 4. Unscrew the mounting screws or snap open the DIN clip. 5. Remove the module.
Removing and Reinstalling the Terminal Block Connector
Most S7-200 modules have removable connectors to make installing and replacing the module easy. Refer to Appendix A to determine whether your S7-200 module has removable connectors. You can order an optional fan-out connector for modules that do not have removable connectors. See Appendix E for order numbers.
To Remove the Connector
1. Open the connector door to gain access to the connector. 2. Insert a small screwdriver in the notch in the middle of the connector. 3. Remove the terminal connector by prying the screwdriver away from the S7-200 housing. See Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2 Removing the Connector
To Reinstall the Connector
1. Open the connector door. 2. Align the connector with the pins on the unit and align the wiring edge of the connector inside the rim of the connector base. 3. Press down firmly to rotate the connector until it snaps into place. Check carefully to ensure that the connector is properly aligned and fully engaged.
