Operator Controls And Display Elements; Front View With Closed Front Panels - Siemens Simatic S7-1500 Manual

Simultaneous use of technology and standard functions
You can use technology and standard functions at the same time, provided the hardware
allows this. For example, all the digital inputs not assigned to the counting, measuring or
position detection or PTO technology functions can be used as standard DI.
Inputs to which technology functions are assigned can be read. Outputs to which technology
functions are assigned cannot be written.

Note
Temperature range for display
To increase its service life, the display switches off at a temperature below the permitted
operating temperature of the device. When the display cools down again, it automatically
switches itself on again. When the display is switched off, the LEDs continue to show the
status of the CPU.
You can find additional information on the temperatures at which the display switches itself
on and off in the Technical specifications (Page 128).
