SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels
Low-cost operator control and monitoring for simple HMI applications
The process quality can be significantly improved with
visualization even in the case of compact machines or
smaller applications. The human machine interface option
has until now frequently remained unused for cost rea-
sons. SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels offer HMI
basic functions at an attractive price and open up new
possibilities for mechanical engineering.
Brilliant displays in different sizes
SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels are available with display sizes from
3" to 15". They can thus be optimally adapted to the individu-
ally required visualization area and the available space on site.
The 4" and 6" devices can also be configured for upright
mounting, which results in even greater flexibility.
Operator control via touch display and/or keys
The 4", 6" and 10" devices have touch screens and additional,
freely configurable control keys.
The 4" devices with high-resolution widescreen color displays
and keys or combined touch and key operation are new.
The 15" device is suitable for displaying large or especially de-
tailed process screens. In this case, the application is exclu-
sively controlled via the touch screen.
The KP300 Basic mono PN rounds off the portfolio of the Basic
Panels at the lower end with a 3" display.
Robust design for harsh environments
With an IP65 degree of protection (on the front), SIMATIC HMI
Basic Panels are also suitable for use in harsh environments.
The keys provide tactile feedback and can also be operated
easily while wearing gloves.
Integrated functionality – universal for all display sizes
Regardless of the display size, all of the Basic Panels provide
the same functions: The signaling system, recipe manage-
ment, trend curve functionality, and trend and language se-
lection can be used with any device.
Different display sizes – identical functionality
