Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA): Increased productivity, minimum engineering overhead, reduction in life-cycle costs
Can also be used in a vertical position where installation space is restricted (all touch devices)
Reduction of service and commissioning costs due to:
Short configuring and commissioning times through efficient engineering and fast project downloading
Automatic backup via optional SIMATIC HMI memory card
Long service life of the backlighting
Maintenance-free design
Data security in the event of a power failure
Simple and user-friendly representation of process values thanks to, for example, input/output fields, graphics, trend curves, bar charts, text and bitmaps
Graphics library is available with preconfigured screen objects
Can be used worldwide:
32 online languages (incl. Asian and Cyrillic character sets) can be configured
Up to 32 languages can be switched online
Language-dependent texts and graphics
Standard hardware and software interfaces for increasing flexibility and for saving on additional hardware:
PROFIBUS and PROFINET onboard (with 7" and above, two PROFINET ports with integrated switch)
Two SD card slots for storing archives, user data and for automatic backup
USB device interface for easy downloading of projects
USB host interfaces for connecting USB flash drive, keyboard, mouse and printer
With 7" and above, audio in/out interface for use with the integrated media player
Standard Windows storage formats (CSV) for archives and recipes permit further processing with standard tools (e.g. Microsoft Excel)
Modular expansion capability with the Sm@rtServer option for communication between various SIMATIC HMI systems and for remote maintenance
