Starting the Keypad Designer
You use the Keypad Designer application to create a custom-designed layout for the keypad
of the TD 100C, the TD 200C, or the TD400C.
When you install STEP 7-Micro/WIN, you also install the Keypad Designer application. The
Keypad Designer does not require STEP 7-Micro/WIN.
You can start the Keypad Designer either from within STEP 7-Micro/WIN or as a stand-alone
application:
● To start as a stand-alone application: Select the Start > SIMATIC > TD Keypad Designer
menu command
● To start from STEP 7-Micro/WIN: Click the Keypad Designer icon in the Tools window
The Keypad Designer application opens with a blank keypad template. The TD 200C and the
TD400C templates are shown in the figures below.. Select File > New to create a new
keypad layout for either the TD 100C, the TD 200C, or the TD400C. In the Keypad Designer
Type dialog, select the keypad type.
To open an existing project, select the File > Open menu command and browse to the
project.
