Rugged and compact for use at machine level
With IP65/NEMA 4 degree of protection at the front, high EMC
and extreme vibration resistance, the SIMATIC HMI devices are
ideally suited for use in harsh industrial environments. Thanks to
their compact design with a shallow mounting depth, the station-
ary operator panels can be fitted anywhere, even where only
restricted space is available. For distributed configurations,
devices are also available with all-round IP65/NEMA 4 protec-
tion.
The extremely rugged and shock-proof enclosure with degree of
protection IP65 makes the Mobile Panels especially suitable for
industrial applications. Their low weight and ergonomic design
means that they are user-friendly and easy to operate.
One configuration software for everything
SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) is a tool for plant-wide configuration
of all SIMATIC HMI Panels, as well as PC-based systems.
Graded variants are available for every task. The software per-
mits simple and efficient configuration. Programming experi-
ence is not required.
Once created, configurations can be reused within the family.
Component of Totally Integrated Automation
Siemens provides the complete modular system of matched
components for automation solutions from a single source and –
with Totally Integrated Automation – one of the most globally suc-
cessful automation concepts.
SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) is an integral component of this
world. It offers crucial advantages. Thanks to the triple uniformity
in configuration/programming, data management and communi-
cation, the engineering costs of an automation solution are sig-
nificantly reduced.
Innovative operator control and monitoring
SIMATIC HMI Panels support innovative operation and monitor-
ing in combination with ruggedness, stability and ease of use.
On the Comfort Panels in particular, standard hardware and soft-
ware interfaces, e.g. the multimedia card/SD card, USB, Ether-
net, PROFIBUS DP and Visual Basic scripts, provide more flexi-
bility and openness as well as access to the Office world.
Global use
The SIMATIC HMI Panels are ideally equipped for global use.
Online language switching permits the selection of up to
32 languages during ongoing operation simply by pressing a
button. The wide variety of languages available also includes, for
example, Asian logographic languages for China, Taiwan, Korea
and Japan or Russia. The configuration interface of WinCC (TIA
Portal) including the online help and the complete documenta-
tion is also multilingual. Up to 32 languages can be administered
in one project. And all this is complemented by global service
and support from Siemens.
