Chapter 1 Introduction Manual Contents This manual provides you with an overview of the SIMATIC VPU200 (VPU200–3014) hardware and gives instructions for connecting the VPU200–3104 to the SIMATIC 560/565 controller, as well as to several models of printers which may be used with the VPU200–3104. See Figure 1-1.
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.
Chapter 3 VPU200–3104 Specifications Temperature Operating: 10 C to 40 C (50 F to 104 F) Storage: –40 C to 52 C (–40 F to 125.6 F) – with diskette –40 C to 60 C (–40 F to 140 F) – without diskette Humidity 10% –...

Chapter 4 Installation VPU200 Voltage Conversion ........... . . Power Receptacle and Power Cord .
VPU200 Voltage 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: Turn the VPU200 so the back is facing you and the power cord receptacle is to the left.
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.
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.
Communication Ports The following paragraphs explain the type and methods of connections to the communiation ports. P/C Port The P/C Port is used in the following configurations: Direct connection of the VPU200–3104 to a 560 controller using cable VPU200–3605 (Figure 4-5). Connection of the VPU200 to a remote 560 via modems.

Auxiliary Port 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.
733 Terminals. The VPU200 is connected to a 733 KSR terminal using the cable illustrated in Figure 4-8. The 733 must be set for 300 baud operation with the printer on-line, and the VPU200 must be configured for 300 baud. The cable shown for 1200 Baud in Figure 4-8 is for use in transporting programs from the VPU to 733 cassette only.
The VPU200 is connected to a 743 or 745 terminal using the cable illustrated in Figure 4-9. The VPU and the 743/745 must be set for the same rate, either 110 or 300 baud. 743/745 End 15-Pin D-Type Female Printer Port VPU End 25-Pin D-Type Male Connect to Printer Port...
763/765 Terminals. The VPU200 is connected to a 763 or 764 bubble memory terminal using the cable shown in Figure 4-10. The terminal and the VPU200 must be set at the same baud rate. At baud rates above 300, the Record function on the terminal must be activated. 763/765 End 15-Pin D-Type Male Connect to Lower Port...
Model 810 Printers. The VPU200 is connected to an 810 printer with the cable shown in Figure 4-11. Connect the VPU to the printer with a 1-to-1 cable (25 pin, D-type) using pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 20, and 22. Install jumpers between pins 2 and 3, 5 and 6, and 8 and 9 on the printer processor board.
Other Printers. The VPU200–3104 can be connected to any printer that will accept the character format shown in Figure 4-12 and is compatible with the printer port connector shown in Figure 4-7. Voltage levels at the printer port are compatible with E.I.A. standard RS–232–C. VPU200 requirements for printing are pin 3 (RX Data), pin 7 (Signal GND), and pin 20 (Data terminal ready).
Chapter 5 Preventive Maintenance The VPU200–3104 incorporates a flexible disk storage system which is capable of storing up to 2.78 megabytes of data. This disk storage system is a precision piece of equipment that requires particular handling to keep it functioning properly and to eliminate downtime.
