Simatic S5 -Seven Segment Display

Dear Friends,
simply iam taking my very early steps into the SIEMNS S5 and iam surprised by the first task i need to figure out
i have in my S5 Program (specifically, in DB)a value that is sent from PLC to "process visualizing software"
anyway, my target to display this value in DW of DB on 7 segment display ,could anyone please help me to configure how is that?

thank you in advance,
sam

Depends on the type of display?
Can be as simple as an output byte in hex or binary code thru to RS232, 20mA, RS485 etc.

Have a look at london electronics.

I have ever used 4-digits 7-segmet directly to digital output for integer value (2 bytes) . Value from DB or F is converted into BCD then I move it directly to digital output just using Load/L and Transfer/T function.

I connect each 4 bit of D/O to each digit number of 7-segment. Remeber to make 0-9 number in 7-seg you need 4 bits
