SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels16
100 percent data security in the event of a power failure
The integrated protection against voltage failure of the
Comfort Panels cost-effectively safeguards all data in the
event of a power failure – no additional uninterruptible
power supply is required. It is also guaranteed for recipes
and archives in RDB format if they are stored on a SIMATIC HMI
Memory Card.
Wide range of communication options
Integrated interfaces
SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels are suitable for integration into
PROFINET and PROFIBUS networks and they offer interfaces
for connecting USB peripherals.
A 2-port Ethernet switch is available for devices with 7" displays
or larger. For devices with 15" displays or larger, a Gigabit
PROFINET interface is also available.
Connection options for the 7" to 12" devices
Simplified project transfer
Standard cables can be used
for loading HMI projects via
PROFINET/Ethernet or USB –
no special cables are needed.
Device settings are set during
configuration.
Additional settings on the
device itself are not required.
This simplifies commissioning.
The project data and device settings are saved and automati-
cally updated on a system card in the device. This system card
can be used for transferring a project to another device.
Suitable for harsh environments
SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels are robust and have several ap-
provals for international usage and for use in sectors with in-
creased requirements.
As standard, the Comfort Panels feature durable aluminum
die-cast fronts starting with the 7-inch model. They are certi-
fied according to ATEX for Ex zones 2 and 22 and can therefore
be used in hazardous areas. Marine approvals will be available
soon for all Comfort Panels.
Ergonomic key operation
The intuitive operator control of the key devices corresponds
to that of the tried and tested mobile telephone keypads and
permits easy, quick entries. All function keys are equipped
with LEDs.
Visual signals for the respective keys to be operated facilitate
the operator guidance. For additional reliability, all of the keys
provide tactile feedback when pressed.
