Introduction
Use of the TP 170A
The TP 170A is the basic touch panel for all SIMATIC S7 CPUs. It is the first touch
panel unit in the SIMATIC HMI product range and is based on the operating system
MicrosoftWindowsCE.
The TP 170A is suitable for all basic functions. It has an interface which can be used
for both the MPI and the Profibus-DP. The unit memory is designed for smaller
configurations. The objects used for a configuration can be buttons, bar graphs,
graphics and messages.
Area of use of the TP 170A
The TP 170A has been conceived for machine operation and monitoring. It
provides a realistic graphical representation of the machine or system to be
monitored. Its area of use includes implementation in machine and apparatus
construction as well as in the packing and electronics industry.
The high degree of protection (IP65 on the front side) and non-implementation of
moving storage media, such as hard disks and floppy disks, ensure the TP 170A is
also suitable for use in rough industrial environments and directly on site on the
respective machine.
The TP 170A can be installed in switching cabinets and operating consoles.
Due to the fact that the TP 170A is equipped with high performance basic
hardware and has a minimum installation depth means that it fulfills all the
requirements for operation in the vicinity of the machine.

Easy to operate and observe
The TP 170A enables operating statuses and current process values concerning a
connected PLC to be graphically displayed and the relevant machine or system to
be easily monitored and operated. Display and operation of the TP 170A can be
adapted optimally for the respective process requirements by using the
configuration software ProTool/Lite, ProTool and ProTool/Pro CS (from
Version 5.2).
The TP 170A can be used to:
control and monitor the process intuitively. Setpoint values or control element
settings, for instance, can be modified by entering values or touching configured
buttons;
display processes, machines and systems graphically;
visualize operating and alarm messages and process tags, e.g. in output fields,
bar graphs or trend curves;
intervene directly in the operation by means of the touch-sensitive screen.

Operating unit configuration (principles)
Graphics, texts and operating and display elements which need to be represented
on the operating unit must first be created on a configuration computer (PC or PU)
using the configuration software. The configuration computer must be connected to
the operating unit in order to download the project to the operating unit (refer to
“Configuration phase” in Figure 1-1).
Once the project has been successfully downloaded, connect the operating unit to
the PLC. The operating unit can then communicate with the PLC and respond
according to the information configured for running the program in the PLC (refer to
“Process control phase” in Figure 1-1).

3.1 InitialStartup
Procedure
When the operating unit is started up for the first time, there is no configuration
loaded. Proceed as follows, observing the sequence, in order to download a
configuration from the configuration computer to the operating unit which is
necessary to put the unit into service:
Step Procedure
1Connect the interface IF1A (RS232) or IF1B (RS485) on the operating unit to the
configuration computer, according to the setting in the Configuration menu
(Figure 3-2, Page 3-5), using an appropriate standard cable.
2Switch on the power supply for the operating unit.
Since no configuration has been loaded at this point, the operating unit
automatically switches to Download mode. The operating unit displays the
message Connecting to host until it receives data from the configuration
computer or the button Cancel is pressed.
If the message Connecting to host does not appear, it is possible that the
option for Download mode has been set incorrectly (refer to the note on
Page 3-6).
3If data is to be transferred via an MPI connection, set the following parameters
on the configuration computer:
OP Address: 1
Transmission rate: 187.5 kBaud
Start the data transfer to the operating unit from the configuration computer.
The configuration computer checks the connection to the operating unit. If the
connection is not available or defective, it issues the corresponding error
message.
If downloading from the configuration computer is interrupted due a compatibility
conflict, please proceed according to the description in the Chapter 10.
If the connection is correct, the configuration is downloaded to the operating unit.
Following successful downloading, the operating unit restarts and displays the
start screen of the configuration that has just been loaded.

3.2 Recommissioning
Purpose
Following a restart, the configuration in the operating unit is replaced by a different
one. The new configuration is downloaded from the configuration computer to the
operating unit.
The following options are available for downloading a configuration:
Start downloading manually during the operating unit initialization phase
Start downloading automatically while the operating unit is in operation
Start downloading via a correspondingly configured operating element while the
operating unit is in operation (refer to the Chapter 6.1)
Start downloading manually during the operating unit initialization phase
Step Procedure
1Connect the interface IF1A (RS232) or IF1B (RS485) on the operating unit to the
configuration computer, according to the setting in the Configuration menu
(Figure 3-2, Page 3-5), using an appropriate standard cable.
2Switch on the power supply for the operating unit.
3In the operating unit initialization phase, the menu illustrated in Figure 3-1
appears briefly. Touch the Download button to set the operating unit to Download
mode before it is initialized.
The operating unit displays the message Connecting to host until it receives
data from the configuration computer or the button Cancel is pressed.
If the message Connecting to host does not appear, it is possible that the
option for Download mode has been set incorrectly (refer to the note on Page
3-6).
4If downloading should be performed via an MPI connection, set the OP address
and transmission rate valid for the operating unit on the configuration computer
(refer to the note on Page 3-4).
Start data transfer to the operating unit from the configuration computer.
The configuration computer checks the connection to the operating unit. If the
connection is not available or defective, the configuration computer issues the
corresponding error message.
If downloading from the configuration computer is interrupted due a compatibility
conflict, please proceed according to the description in the Chapter 10.
If the connection is correct, the new configuration is downloaded to the operating
unit. Following successful downloading, the operating unit restarts and displays
the start screen of the configuration that has just been loaded.

Start downloading automatically when the operating unit is in operation
The operating unit can be switched automatically to Download mode from normal
operation as soon as downloading is started on the connected configuration
computer. This option is especially recommended for the test phase of a new
configuration because the transfer is performed without intervention in the
operating unit. A condition for this is that the following settings are defined in the
Configuration menu (Figure 3-2):
MPI connection:
Option MPI Transfer Enable activated
Option MPI Transfer Remote activated
Serial connection:
Option Serial Transfer Enable activated
Option Serial Transfer Remote activated
A detailed description of the possible settings in the Configuration menu is
provided on Page 3-5.
Note:
The bus parameters (e.g. MPI address, baud rate, etc.) are read out of the
configuration which has been loaded on the operating unit. Important: A new
project with new parameters must initially be loaded on the operating unit with the
old settings (on the configuration computer) because the old parameters apply
here.
