SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels
for demanding HMI tasks
All SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels universally provide the
same high-end functionality.
With high-resolution widescreen displays from 4" to 22",
optionally available with touch operation or control keys,
they can be optimally adapted to any application.
One of the numerous innovations compared to previous
SIMATIC Panels is the capability of coordinating and cen-
trally shutting down the device displays via PROFIenergy
during break times in order to reduce energy consump-
tion.
Brilliant displays in widescreen format
The widescreen format provides up to 40% more visualization
area and thus expanded display capabilities for complex oper-
ating screens. This format also allows a clear division between
the sections for application monitoring and application oper-
ation. SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels are available with 4", 7",
9", 12", 15", 19", and 22" widescreen displays.
The range of SIMATIC Comfort Panels is expanded with the 15"
key panel and 15", 19", and 22" touch panels.
The high resolution with 16 million colors allows a detailed
process display and optimal readability. This is also supported
by the wide viewing angle of 170°.
The brightness of the displays can be dimmed 100% and can
therefore be optimally adapted to the requirements of the re-
spective application – this is, for example, important for use
on ships and reduces the energy consumption.
Integrated high-end functionality
SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels are characterized by high perfor-
mance. This means, for example, a short display generation
time. Regardless of the size of the display, all of the Comfort
Panels have archives, VB scripts and various viewers for dis-
playing plant documentation (e.g. as PDFs) and Internet pag-
es.
The system diagnostic capabilities in interaction with SIMATIC
Controllers are a new feature. Diagnostic information, which
previously required a programming device, can be read via the
Comfort Panel.
Efficient energy management
The standardized PROFIenergy protocol enables loads that
are no longer required to be switched off centrally and in a co-
ordinated manner, and measured energy values can be re-
corded. Thus, the displays of the Comfort Panels can be shut
down for short break periods in order to reduce energy con-
sumption. PROFINET as standard allows easy integration into
existing plant structures and provides reliable investment pro-
tection.
Optimum selection
SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels can be optimally adapted to the
available space on-site and to the required visualization area.
Widescreen displays are available in sizes of 4" to 22". Depend-
ing on the application or available space, the touch devices
can also be operated upright. As an alternative to touch screen
operation, devices with freely configurable keys are available.
