s7 TD200 display - power off?

[rQx]

Hi!

I have a TD200 display connected to my S7 200 PLC. The display recieve its power from the CPU, is there a way to disable this and get the power from the 24VDC instead?

Just connect 24VDC from external power supply. It should do.

Well that doesn't help me. I want to controll the power to the TD200 with my DC source. Now I got power all the time through the PLC.

The TD200 has a seperate supply to the screen, remove the supply from the plc and use a seperate 24v supply instead.

Google for a manual, first one on the list >>>>>>>

You will need to make a custom communication cable without power as outlined in the TD200 Manual. Then supply 24VDC to the green connector. You can switch this ON/OFF as desired.

I have done this exact thing before for a cut to length machine, use the cable diagram provided by BITS N BYTES it should work perfectly

please note, you must supply external power to the TD 200 for it to work. if you use that cable

hope this help.
