HMI accessories, connection

SIMATIC not only offers first-class panels, thin clients and IPCs, but also an extensive range of original accessories which harmonizes optimally with the core products.
All our accessory components are subject to the same quality standards as the core products.

Because we understand that accessory parts are required over the entire service life of a product and that they are subject to wear, we ensure that each accessory remains available throughout the life-cycle of the core products. If we deviate from this in an exceptional case, we will inform you in a relevant product announcement in the Customer Support area. We recommend subscribing to these announcements electronically.

Tip:

The TIA Selection Tool (selection guide) automatically shows appropriate accessories for every SIMATIC product, making it even easier to find the right one.

Trade goods

To be able to react quickly and flexibly to new requirements, we are also using high quality accessories from major manufacturers and marketing these directly via our Mall.

These trade goods then only have to be qualified in a short activation test. This means that these parts are not subjected to a complete system test at Siemens, because the tests conducted by the manufacturer are typically sufficient. Keyboards, for example, must comply with certain technical requirements. These requirements are technical specifications, drivers, certificates and test verification documents. These are then made provided by the manufacturer and are then also available for downloading on the Siemens SIOS pages. Introducing such products as trade goods saves having to perform time-consuming in-house tests, as well applying for and generating our own certificates.

Note:

In some cases, accessories can also be used with competitor products. This use is at your own responsibility.

The range of accessories includes:

• Batteries (rechargeable buffer battery, lithium batteries, main rechargeable battery, etc.)
• Fasteners (memory card lock, wall-mounting bracket, installation frame, mounting clips, mounting bracket etc.)
• Labeling strips (labeling strips, front membrane, labeling set, protective sleeve etc.)
• Input devices (keyboards, mice)
• Input aids (e.g. touch pens)
• HMI connecting components (converters, connectors, adapters)
• IWLAN accessories (access points, KeyPlug, power supplies, Moby D, small parts)
• Power supplies (power supply units, appliance cables, etc.)
• Backplane covers (in IP20 design)
• Protective films
• Protective covers (covers, caps)
• Service Sets (spare parts package with coordinated contents)
• Storage media (MM memory card, SD memory card, PC memory card, PC memory card adapter, CF memory card, USB memory stick, USB FlashDrive, memory module for pushbutton panels, memory expansions)
• Distribution boards (USB HUB, USB extensions, keyboard, video, mouse switch, Ethernet switch)
• Additional accessories (e.g. spare key)
• Process coupling
  • Connecting cables
  • Bus connector DP
  • Bus connector PN

The aim is to offer accessories throughout the entire lifecycle of the core product. This cannot be guaranteed because the consumer market changes quickly.
