Description of the VPU200–3104
2-2 SIMATIC VPU200–3104 Hardware Manual
2.1 Introduction
The VPU200–3104 is a self-contained unit which houses a CRT display
screen and features an attached hinge keyboard and a 3.3 MByte floppy
disk drive. When the unit is not in use, the keyboard can be folded upward
toward the display screen and latched in that position. The bottom of the
keyboard then becomes the front of a completely closed case. For ease of
handling, a carrying strap is affixed to one side of the case.
The VPU200 is an industrial computer terminal and must be treated with
the care given to electronic test equipment. Observe the following
precautions when handling the unit:
1. Do not drop the VPU200. Damage to the unit, especially the CRT and
the disk drive, can result.
!CAUTION
Whenever the VPU200 is not in use, a head protector should be inserted into
the floppy disk drive to prevent damage to the drive. This procedure is most
important if the unit is in storage or transport.
2. Keep the original packing carton and material to reuse when the unit
must be shipped. This carton and materials must also be used when the
VPU200 is to be stored in the baggage or cargo area of a vehicle
(including the baggage/cargo hold of an airplane).
3. Because of possible temperature extremes, do not transport the
VPU200 in the trunk of an automobile. For short automobile trips, keep
the VPU200 in a secure position on one of the seats.
The VPU200 must have adequate ventilation. Be particularly careful not to
block the cooling vents located on the side of the VPU200.
!CAUTION
To avoid damage to the VPU200, observe the following guidelines:
Do not operate the VPU200 if the cooling vents are blocked. If the unit is
mounted in an enclosure, be sure there is sufficient cooling to prevent
temperature build-up in the unit. Failure to observe these precautions will void
the warranty.
Do not operate the VPU200 outside the normal operating range of 10 ° C to 40 °C
(50°
F to 104 ° F). If the terminal has been stored outside this range, allow it to sit
at room temperature for a minimum of 45 minutes before turning on the unit.
Never store the VPU200 at temperatures below –40 ° C or above 60 ° C (–40 °F or
140°
F).
Be careful not to spill liquids or drop items such as staples or paper clips into
the VPU200 case. Severe damage to electrical components can result.

4.1 VPU200 V oltage Conversion
The voltage requirement for the VPU200 can be changed to 120 or 240 volts
AC to meet local requirements. (See Figure 4-1) to change voltage:
1. T urn the VPU200 so the back is facing you and the power cord
receptacle is to the left.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the VPU200.
3. T o expose the fuse, slide the clear plastic panel so that it covers the
power cord receptacle.
4. Remove the fuse by pulling upward on the black plastic lever .
5. When the fuse lever is fully extended (and the fuse has been removed),
use needle-nose pliers to remove the small printed circuit board that is
mounted vertically next to the fuse holder .
6. Rotate the printed circuit board so that the correct voltage will be
visible through the clear plastic panel and replace the board.
7. Replace the fuse by pressing down on the black plastic lever .
8. A grounded cord set must be used.
!CAUTION
Use only a 3 AMP , 250 volt quick-acting fuse (T ype AGC).
Use of non-recommended fuses could result in damage to equipment.
9. Slide the clear plastic cover over the fuse and connect the power cord.

4.2 Power Receptacle and Power Cord
Connect the female end of the VPU200 power cord to the power receptacle
located at the rear of the case (see Figure 4-1). To store the power cord when
it is not in use, wrap it around the L-shaped brackets located at the rear of
the case. Connect the male end of the VPU power cord to 1 10 V AC, 50 or 60
Hz power source (220 V AC if VPU has been converted as described above).
Plug the power cord into the same power source as the controller . In a noisy
environment, this is critical for proper performance of the VPU.
!WARNING
The wall receptacle for VPU power must accommodate the three-pronged male
connector . The receptacle must have three contacts, as shown in Figure 4-2,
including one for safety earth ground. If a three-contact receptacle is not used,
damage to the terminal and/or personal injury can occur
. If an extension cord is
needed, it must be a three-wire type.
For 220-volt operation, the power cord used must be capable of carrying three
amperes, and its male connector must be compatible with local power outlets.

4.3 Operating Positions
The VPU200 can be operated from a work surface or floor position. In the
work surface position, illustrated in Figure 4-3, the support bail on the base
of the unit is lowered to hold the VPU in position for use. In the floor
position, the back of the unit and the L-shaped brackets mounted on the
back form the standing base.

4.5 Communication Ports
The following paragraphs explain the type and methods of connections to
the communiation ports.
The P/C Port is used in the following configurations:
1. Direct connection of the VPU200–3104 to a 560 controller using cable
VPU200–3605 (Figure 4-5).
2. Connection of the VPU200 to a remote 560 via modems. Modems must
be used when the total cable length is more than 50 feet. Figure 4-6
gives the pinouts for the cable (PPX:VPU200–3605) used with a
modem. The modem must be plugged into the same power source as the
VPU200 and the controller .
The following settings must be made on a modem used with the
VPU200–3104.

The auxiliary port allows the VPU200 to be connected to one of several
types of printers and hardcopy devices to obtain printouts of programs and
of the contents of the display screen. Figure 4-7 illustrates the printer port
connector , with signals and pin numbers. V oltage levels are compatible with
E.I.A. Standard RS-232-C.
The VPU200 generates odd parity . The baud rate is specified on the Printer
Configuration Menu as 1 10, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600. Data
transmission is half-duplex. The parameters of the connected printer or
hardcopy device must correspond to these VPU200 parameters. The
printing device used with the VPU200 must have a chassis ground (pin 1)
isolated from signal ground (pin 7) for noise immunity . A resistance check
should be performed on the printer between pin 1 and pin 7 to insure that
the resistance is greater than 20K ohms. The printer must also be connected
to the same power source as the VPU200 and controller for noise immunity .
