■ Overview (continued)
It is frequently the case, however, that new OEM products can
be based on existing OEM products (see product examples)
efficiently and cost-effectively. In such cases, the end product is
considered to be a customer-specific modification of an existing
OEM product.
Our OEM devices are available in all performance classes: from
OEM Push Button Panels through Text Displays, Touch and
Operator Panels right up to multifunctional platforms (MP) and
Panel PCs with far-reaching changes in hardware, equipment
and software. Customer-specific OEM products are developed
and produced in various stages in accordance with quality
standards.
Turnkey products
The customer-specific turnkey products are ready to set up and
switch on, combined and constructed according to the specifi-
cations of the customer and according to the specific technical
requirements of the HMI products. With turnkey products, the
HMI products are tested and supplied e.g. as complete operator
stations, i.e. installed in special housings, wired and supplied
with the specified software.
• Optimized HMI operator station: ergonomic, functional,
certified and tested
• Optimum mechanical installation of devices, with defined high
degree of protection
• Flexible design and wiring
• Variable installation (support arm, stand, wall mounting)
• Certified according to VDE, CE and UL (according to
agreement and statutory directives)
• Vibration and shock-tested
• Packed for safe transport
• Tested thermal cycling with passive cooling, and therefore
with specified ambient temperature
• Customized software suite with electronic software release
management
Customized SIMATIC HMI turnkey products are "ready-to-install"
and "ready-to-use" with the quality of series products, and all
from one source:
Open Platform Program
SIMATIC HMI panels with Windows CE operating system and
panel PC are open for software function expansions from WinCC
flexible or for customer applications.
Using the Open Platform Program, you have software tools
(SDKs – Software Development Kits) including training and
support for creating software expansions for WinCC flexible or
your own customer applications. The Open Platform Program
supports the optimum adaptation and fast implementation of
customized hardware and software solutions:
• Customer applications
• Expansions of SIMATIC HMI software WinCC flexible using
ActiveX controls
• Customer’s specific project functions or tasks that interact with
WinCC flexible
The basis is the SIMATIC HMI - WinCE platform, i.e. Windows
CE-based SIMATIC HMI panels from TP 177B, as standard
product or as OEM product and also Panel PC products. As an
option, SIMATIC HMI panels can also be used as platforms for
other CE software.
Share of customer-specific modifications in the individual
product types
