Features:
- The LED-backlit LCD presents controller information in 4x20 or 8x40 character layouts.
- Stored projects manage event messages, information text, variables, and multiple operator languages.
- Native controller drivers and PROFIBUS DP12 connect the text display to SIMATIC automation systems.
Event messages combine configured wording with live process values, so the same display area can identify a condition and show its current data.
The message buffer records entries for later operator review, while associated information text can add operating context without changing the live message itself.
The front panel seals to IP65 after correct installation; connections and electronics on the IP20 rear remain inside the host enclosure.
The Siemens 6AV3017-1NE30-0AX0 SIMATIC TD17 Text Display may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Operator Information Structure
- Event messages: Configured text and live variables identify operating conditions and process changes.
- Display formats: Four large-text rows or eight compact-text rows organize the available screen area.
- Message history: The buffer retains message entries for subsequent operator review.
- Information text: Supplementary pages can explain an active message or operating function.
Native Communication Paths
- DP12 connection: PROFIBUS DP carries configured process variables and operator actions between the TD17 and controller.
- SIMATIC drivers: Native protocol support covers S5, S7, and M7 controller families.
- 505 driver: The TD17 also includes a native path for SIMATIC 505 communication.
- Project mapping: ProTool associates displayed variables and keys with addresses in the selected controller driver.
Project Text Organization
- Configured set: One project can contain text resources for as many as six languages.
- Online selection: Three project languages can remain available for direct operator switching.
- Shared variables: Live controller values remain linked to their addresses when the displayed wording changes language.
- Flash storage: Message text and language data remain in the panel project without a battery-backed text store.
Front and Rear Installation
- Panel opening: The enclosure requires a 231x89 mm cutout for the TD17 body.
- Front seal: Correct mounting establishes IP65 protection at the operator-facing surface.
- Rear side: The IP20 electronics and connectors must remain inside the host cabinet.
- Orientation limit: Vertical and horizontal installation have different permitted operating-temperature ceilings.
