Easy to read operator panels for Simatic S7-200

The new Simatic TP 177A and TP 177micro touch panels from Siemens Automation and Drives are equipped with a 5.7-inch touch display providing a resolution of 320 pixels x 240 pixels.
The Simatic C7 control systems are comprised of a Simatic-S7-300 controller, an operator panel, inputs and outputs and communications interfaces in one compact unit.
This saves configuring costs, shortens installation time and reduces space requirements in the control cabinet or at the machine claimed Siemens.
The integral technology functions such as counting, measuring, closed-loop control and positioning, coupled enable claimed high machine cycle times and make additional components unnecessary.
Typical applications include electroplating, compressors, bottling plants, flour mills, machinery for textiles, woodworking, plastics, packaging, and conveyor systems.
The C7 units are equipped with Asian and Cyrillic character sets as well as a backlit display that is easy to read and has a long service life.
Thanks to retentive data management on a micro memory card (MMC), the C7 devices work without a backup battery and are therefore maintenance-free added the company.
Complete Step 7 projects and larger volumes of data can be stored on the MMC for archiving and recipe management.
Effective copy protection for user software can also be implemented using the MMC.
Input and output data can be transferred cyclically or acyclically with the Profibus-DP interface that can be configured optionally as master or slave.
The acyclic services are used on the one hand for diagnostics data and alarms from field devices, and on the other to supply field devices with parameterisation data.
Start of delivery for Simatic C7-636 Touch is planned for December 2004 added Siemens.
