Connecting the Operator Panels and Peripherals
The operator panels and peripherals which can be connected to your FM 456-2
depend on its configuration.
Extensive information on all connection options of the FM 456-2 can be found in
the appropriate sections of the technical data.
To prepare for operation, you need either a PC/PG or the M7-400 configuration
with monitor, keyboard, expansion module, and mass storage module as well as
interface submodules.
For reasons of noise immunity of the entire system, we recommend that you use
the standard connecting cables available from Siemens for connecting the
peripherals.
Connecting a VGA Monitor
To be able to connect a VGA monitor to the FM 456-2, an IF 962-VGA interface
submodule must be fitted in the card slot of the FM 456-2 or of a corresponding
expansion module. Connect the monitor to the 15-pin high density subminiature D
socket of the IF 962-VGA interface submodule (up to 2.5 m).
Connecting a Keyboard
Connect the keyboard to the 6-pin mini DIN circular socket on the IF 962-VGA
interface submodule
