Specifications
SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels14
Different communication options
As standard, Basic Panels communicate over PROFINET. The 6"
and 10" devices are also available as a PROFIBUS version.
A large number of drivers support the communication with
controllers from other manufacturers.
Upgradability is ensured
Projects that were created with WinCC V11 for a Basic Panel
can easily be transferred to a higher-performance Comfort
Panel, Mobile Panel or PC. Thus, you can continue to use and
supplement existing projects after an upgrade.
Perfect interaction with SIMATIC S7-1200
Basic Panels can be used in a variety of ways. An especially
high added value results from the visualization of applications
of a modular compact S7-1200 controller. The new SIMATIC
STEP 7 Basic engineering system automatically includes
WinCC Basic V11 in its scope of delivery.
The shared Engineering Framework "Totally Integrated Auto-
mation Portal" allows integrated engineering for Basic Panels
and S7-1200 controllers. Task-oriented and intuitive editors
ensure maximum user-friendliness and energy efficiency.

Fast and intuitive process control via keys
If a small display is sufficient and the process is only to be con-
trolled via keys, the KP300 Basic mono PN is the perfect
choice.
In addition to a high-resolution monochrome 3" display, it has
10 freely configurable function keys.
The keypad with the design of a mobile telephone keypad al-
lows intuitive and fast entry of numbers and words.
The color of the backlight is freely selectable
The choices for the color of the LED backlight are white, green,

The colors can be assigned to individual alarms. This KP300
Basic can thus also be used as an alternative to an alarm indi-
cator lamp.
