HMI Basic Panel
Cost-efficient, high-resolution visualization solutions
Cost-effective operation and monitoring in the 2nd Generation
With their sophisticated HMI basic functions, SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels 2nd generation are the ideal entry-level series for simple HMI applications.The device series offers panels with 4", 7", 9" and 12" displays, and combined key or touch operation.
The innovative widescreen displays are high resolution with 64,000 colors. They can be installed in portrait mode and are especially energy-efficient due to their 100% dimmable brightness.
The innovative user interface opens up a wide range of operations with improved usability through new controls and graphics. The new USB interface allows you to connect a keyboard, mouse and barcode scanner and supports easy archiving of data on a USB stick.
Improved process quality
Visualization allows for considerably increased process quality with compact plants or smaller applications. Featuring all important HMI basic functions, SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels 2nd Generation thus open up completely new possibilities in terms of operation and monitoring also in the field of mechanical engineering at a particularly attractive price.
Like all other devices in our product range, Basic Panels 2nd Generation offer proven SIMATIC quality and, regardless of display size, numerous software functions as standard – for example, alarm logging, recipe management, trend functions and language switching.
SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels 2nd Generation can be configured via SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) in the cost-efficient Basic Edition which already offers the outstanding usability and unprecedented engineering efficiency of the Engineering Framework. The user can easily create visualization applications within short time.
As the software is scalable, he can start with a small solution and further expand it any time as required – for example by increasing the number of tags or change to panels of another performance range.
SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal) V13 SP1 includes new features for Basic Panels 2nd Generation such as:
- Backup/Restore of all data directly at the Panel with a USB stick for quick and easy device exchange
- Integration of a web browser in the project in order to communicate easily with web servers of PLC and Drives
