Text Display (TD) User Manual
46 System Manual, 08/2008, A5E00765548-03
You can configure up to 20 buttons on the TD 200C; up to 14 buttons on the TD 100C; and
up to 15 buttons on the TD400C. As shown in the figure below, you use several applications
to create a custom keypad:
● Keypad Designer: Creates the layout and the configuration for the keypad
● Third-party graphics application: Designs the graphical appearance of the faceplate
● STEP 7-Micro/WIN (Text Display wizard): Configures the parameter block for the TD
device
● Word-processing application (optional): Prints multiple copies of the faceplate
Siemens provides document files (in up to 6 languages depending upon your TD device) for
Microsoft Word that helps you to align the panel images for the perforations on the A4 blank
faceplate material. To open these documents, browse to the Templates subdirectory under
the Keypad Designer application (C:/Program Files/Siemens/TD Keypad
Designer/Templates) and select the template for your TD device and language.

Figure 3-1 Using the Keypad Designer to Create the Custom Faceplate for Your TD Device
As shown in the figure below, you perform the following tasks when designing a custom
keypad:
● You use the Keypad Designer to define the layout and the functions for the buttons.
● You export the button template to a third-party graphics application. You then create the
panel image by designing the graphical representations for the buttons and the
background for the faceplate.
