■ Overview
This gives an overview of customer-specific modifications of the
SIMATIC HMI products with examples for the various sectors.
It includes both customer-specific product modifications for
fulfilling individual requirements as well as product examples for
selected sectors such as the automotive industry, general
mechanical engineering, the food and beverages industry, and
pharmaceuticals.
Design products
Customer-specific design involves structural modifications of
SIMATIC HMI products for seamless adaptation to the individual
machine and plant design and the special operating philosophy
of the customers.
The possibilities for modification are:
• Changing the company logo and device type designation
• Changing the keyboard colors, key labels or key symbols
• Different housing color (front frame)
Design products are completely compatible with the technology
and functionality of the standard products. The similar
technology enables, among other things, replacement with
standard devices in case of unit failure if the machine or plant
supplier does not have a customized product available in their
own spare parts store at the time.
OEM products
Product modifications for OEM (original equipment manufac-
turer) customers are suitable for individual industrial automation
tasks that cannot be solved using standard products or panels
that were simply modified in respect of their design.
OEM products are individual solutions based on SIMATIC HMI
standard components. They are specified, offered, developed
and supplied on an individual, customer-specific basis.
For this purpose, we simply combine – as in a system of building
blocks - standard components, customized components and
additional software function enhancements required to create a
SIMATIC HMI OEM device.
Possible modifications:
• Changes to the keyboard layout, key size/design and key
arrangement
• Freely-definable front dimensions and device mechanics
• Integration in the housing for desktop or support arm
installations
• Different processors and memory media
• Different display technologies, sizes and resolutions
• Decentralized configuration
• Additional modules or interfaces
• Freely-selectable Windows versions as operating system,
preinstalled SIMATIC HMI software packages
