CPU display

Introduction
The following section gives an overview of how the R/H-CPU display operates. Detailed
information on the individual options, a training course and a simulation of the selectable
menu items is available in the SIMATIC S7-1500 Display Simulator
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109761758).
Display
The R/H-CPUs have a front cover with a display and operating keys. The display of the CPUs
shows you the control and status information in various menus. You use operating keys to
navigate through the menus and make a variety of settings in the process.
Benefits
The display offers the following advantages:
• Reduced downtimes through diagnostic messages in plain text
• Less time required for commissioning and maintenance, shorter plant downtime.
• Shorter downtimes due to read/write access to force tables and read/write access to watch
tables.
The watch and force tables allow you to monitor and modify the actual values of
individual tags of a user program on the display. You can find more information on the
watch and force tables in the Test and service functions (Page 471) section and in the
STEP 7 online help.
• Visualization of the SYNCUP system state with graphic and percentage progress display
• Overview of the status of safety mode and of F-parameters of the integrated F-CPU
Password protection for the display
In the properties of the CPUs, you configure a password in STEP 7 for display operation. Local
access protection is thus protected with a local password. Password protection can be
configured differently for each display.
