Basic Panels
The SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels can be used wherever compact machines and plants are controlled and monitored locally - in production, process and building automation alike. They are used in the most diverse sectors and applications. Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):
Increased productivity, minimum engineering overhead, reduction in life-cycle costs.
- The ideal entry level series of 3.8" to 15" for operating and monitoring compact machines and plants
- Clear process representation thanks to use of pixel-graphics displays
- Intuitive operation using Touch and tactile function keys
- Equipped with all the necessary basic functions such as alarm logging, recipe management, plots, vector graphics, and language switching
- Simple connection to the controller via integral Ethernet interface or separate version with RS485/422
- Can be used even where installation space is restricted thanks to vertical configuring (4" and 6" devices)
- Short configuring and commissioning times
- Service-friendly thanks to maintenance-free design and long service life of the backlighting display
- Simple and user-friendly representation of process values thanks to, for example, input/output fields, vector graphics, trend curves, bar charts, text and bitmaps
- Graphics library available with off-the-shelf picture objects
- Can be used worldwide:
- 32 languages can be configured (incl. Asian and Cyrillic character sets)
- You can switch between up to 5 languages online
- Language-dependent texts and graphics
- Simple maintenance and configuration thanks to:
- Backup/restore of configuration, operating system and firmware on a PC using ProSave
- Configuration download via MPI/PROFIBUS DP or Ethernet
- Automatic transfer identification
- Individual contrast setting and calibration (except KTP600)
- Clean screen
- No battery required
