HMI accessories, protective film for display

Protective films

Protective films are available for almost all SIMATIC HMI devices. They protect the display from dirt and scratching during operation and in harsh environments. The SIMATIC protective films are non-reflective and are only adhesive at the edges. This ensures that the display is always easy to read, even when using protective films. The protective film can be removed without damaging the resistive touch-sensitive films. It is therefore not possible to trim these films.

For complete protection of the front side in harsh environments, protective covers and full-width adhesive protective films are also available.

Benefits of protective films/protective covers:

• Reduced reflections
• Lightweight, thin and frameless design
• Simple and fast to attach
• Residue-free removal
• Dust-resistant

The protective film only has to cover the display completely. For compatibility reasons, not all protective films extend as far as the edge of the enclosure. This does not in any way impair the function of protecting the display.
