Colour monitor S7

If your computer detects inactivity (no input) it sends an appropriate signal to the monitor to reduce the power consumption (energy-saving mode). The power indicator of the monitor changes colour to indicate the status change.

Once an input is made at the computer the screen contents are redrawn and full power is restored.

For detailed information on how energy-saving mode operates refer to the Operating Manual or Technical Manual of the computer.

When the monitor is switched to the energy-saving mode by the power management

i system a power consumption of up to 4,5 W is maintained to feed the circuit for redrawing the screen contents.

To completely switch off the power consumption, you have to disconnect completely the monitor from the mains supply by removing the power connector.

Changing the monitor settings

When putting the monitor into operation for the first time, the screen display should be optimally adapted to the screen controller used and adjusted in accordance with your needs.

Basic monitor settings with the floppy disk supplied

If one of the operating systems Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP or OS/2 with Windows emulation installed is used, the basic monitor settings can be set with the floppy disk supplied.

ÊInsert the supplied floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.

ÊOpen the Readme file on the floppy disk and follow the instructions in the file.

Your monitor should now already be properly adjusted. If none of the above operating systems is used or minor corrections are to be made to the screen display, then change the monitor settings with the OSD menu.

S7 specifications

The Siemens S7 series represents a cornerstone in the realm of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), developed by Siemens, a leading company in industrial automation. Widely used across various industries, the S7 series offers robust solutions for controlling machinery and processes, thanks to its reliable performance, flexibility, and scalable architecture.

One of the key features of Siemens S7 PLCs is the modularity of their design. Each system can be configured to meet specific application requirements due to the ability to mix various input/output modules, CPUs, and communication processors. This modular approach allows for the customization of systems to suit diverse automation tasks, providing end users with the adaptability required for modern manufacturing environments.

The S7 series encompasses several models, including the S7-1200, S7-300, and S7-1500. The S7-1200 is particularly suited for small to medium-sized applications, offering a compact design and integrated communication interfaces. In contrast, the S7-300 is designed for more extensive and complex control systems, making it ideal for large-scale industrial applications. The S7-1500 stands out with its advanced performance metrics, rich feature set, and high-speed processing capabilities, making it perfect for demanding applications that require real-time control and extensive data handling.

Siemens also emphasizes the importance of communication technologies within the S7 series. With options such as PROFINET, PROFIBUS, and EtherNet/IP, the S7 PLCs can seamlessly integrate into existing automation infrastructures, ensuring smooth data exchange between devices. The incorporation of web-based technologies and cloud connectivity further enables remote monitoring and control of systems, enhancing operational efficiency.

Another notable characteristic of Siemens S7 PLCs is the use of TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation Portal), an innovative software platform that simplifies the engineering process. TIA Portal allows users to program, configure, and diagnose their automation devices in a single environment, reducing setup times and improving productivity.

In conclusion, the Siemens S7 series stands out due to its modular design, range of models suitable for various applications, advanced communication technologies, and user-friendly programming software. This combination of features and characteristics makes S7 PLCs a preferred choice for industries seeking reliable and efficient automation solutions. As industrial demands continue to evolve, Siemens S7 PLCs remain at the forefront, adapting to technological advancements and setting benchmarks in the automation field.
