SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels and Comfort Panels – easy monitoring and control

The SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels from Siemens are suitable for a wide range of basic applications. They enable not only comprehensive monitoring but also convenient control of systems and machines. This saves both time and costs. The SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels are available in various display sizes and with either touch or key operation. Pre-integrated software functions such as the alarm system, recipe management, and trend functionality are particularly convincing. For more demanding visualization tasks, the SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels are the right choice.

SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels: Two generations with different advantages

The SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels are available in two different generations, each offering its own benefits.

The SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels of the 1st Generation impress with their ease of use, proven quality, and reliable functionality. These panels are especially suitable for smaller visualization tasks, even where space is limited. For example, in environments with restricted space, the KP300 Basic mono PN with its compact, high-resolution display and keypad operation provides a good solution. Projects created on these panels are upward-compatible and can be transferred to HMI Comfort Panels.

The SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels of the 2nd Generation come with enhanced HMI functions and optimized process quality. The high-resolution, dimmable color display with approximately 65,000 colors and the new user-friendly interface guarantee even greater comfort. Usability is further supported by engineering with SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal). Even when switching to other devices, projects created for a Basic Panel remain intact and can be transferred easily. Among the 2nd Generation panels, the KTP1200 Basic PN is particularly suitable for higher requirements.

SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels and Comfort Panels at Automation24

Automation24 offers both the SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels of the 1st Generation and those of the 2nd Generation. Panels from both generations can be used in PROFINET environments. The SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels are particularly well complemented by the SIMATIC S7-1200 controller, as they can be engineered with the SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic software in the TIA Portal.

If you need high-end devices for demanding HMI tasks, the SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels are the right choice. Thanks to their high functionality and numerous integrated interfaces, they are ideally suited for such applications. The corresponding engineering software WinCC Comfort is also available at Automation24. Furthermore, projects created on SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels of the 1st and 2nd Generation can be transferred to and used on SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels.
