Selecting the Update Rate for the TD Device
You can select how often the TD device performs a read operation to update the information
from the S7-200 CPU. You can select from "As fast as possible" to "Every 15 seconds" (in
one-second increments).
Selecting the Language and the Character Set
The Text Display wizard allows you to select the language for the system menus and
prompts of the TD device. This selection does not affect the language setting for the screens
or alarms that you enter. You select a character set that supports the language of the text
that you enter for the screens and alarms. (If the character set does not match the Windows
character set, the Text Display wizard may not display the characters correctly. The TD
device displays these characters correctly.)
● Select the language for the system menus and prompts displayed by the TD device.
The TD devices support English, French, German, Italian, Simplified Chinese, and
Spanish.
● Select the character set for the text in your alarms and screens.
Refer to Appendix A for descriptions of the character sets supported by your TD device.
The Simplified Chinese Character Set is an electronic file that resides on the STEP 7-
Micro/WIN documentation CD
These settings define a language set for the TD device. The Text Display wizard also
provides a series of dialogs for copying the alarms and screens to create additional language
sets (TD 200, TD 200C, and TD400C). For each language set, you select the language and
the character set.
