Introduction to the Controller Panel
The controller panel corresponds to the faceplate of the SIMATIC S7 CPUs.
The controller panel is a display
window on your PC that contains
the following elements for working
with the controller:
•
Two operating mode selector
switch positions for changing
the operating mode of the
controller
(similar to the mode selector
switch on an S7 CPU front
panel.)
•
Status indicators for the
controller
•
MRES switch for resetting the
CPU
•
Menus for controller
operations
Opening or closing the controller panel does not influence the state of the
controller. The status of the operator switches and the LEDs are stored in the
controller.
