Siemens operating panels, also known as Siemens touch screens, abbreviated as Siemens HMI, have significant features that meet all user needs, and all display sizes have full functionality, supporting unique high efficiency. They are mainly divided into the following categories:
1. Siemens HMI Keypad Panel
This type of Siemens touch screen is easy to install and pre-assemble, allowing for simple and direct operation, and the wiring is straightforward, saving most of the time compared to conventional touch screens. The protection level is IP65.
Its outstanding features are as follows:
• Customizable large buttons with touch feedback, reliable operation even when wearing gloves;
• LED backlighting available in five selectable colors for displaying various machine statuses;
• Integrated Ethernet switch supporting linear ring topology networks;
• Very suitable for installation in fully protected human-machine interface device expansion units;
• Fail-safe design allows connection of one or two emergency stop buttons or other fail-safe signals.
2. Siemens HMI Mobile Panel
The notable feature of this type of panel is that it can be operated both wired and wirelessly via industrial Ethernet, making it more convenient for debugging or maintenance, and it can be moved to observe the entire industrial site process, displaying relevant process information globally on the screen. It is generally applied in very important situations and serves as a powerful tool for mobile operation and monitoring of the overall process. The panel has a protection level of IP65 and can withstand falls from over one meter high, making it very suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. The large-capacity battery can be replaced without interrupting operation, ensuring smooth system operation.
Its outstanding features are as follows:
• Rugged design suitable for industrial applications;
• Comfortable operation, compact structure, and lightweight;
• Supports hot-swapping for flexible use;
• Emergency stop circuit can be activated and deactivated without interrupting operation (using enhanced wiring box);
• High-level safety design ensures reliable operation;
• Connection point detection function;
• Integrated interfaces: serial, MPI, PROFIBUS, or PROFINET/Ethernet ports;
• Short debugging time.
3. Siemens HMI Basic Panel
This type is simplified but not basic, featuring essential touch screen functions, high cost-performance ratio, available in sizes from 3 inches to over 15 inches, and divided into touch or keypad types, commonly used by a wide range of users. The 4-inch and 6-inch panels can also be installed vertically, further enhancing flexibility, and they come with additional customizable control keys.
Its outstanding features are as follows:
• Suitable for less complex visualization applications;
• All display sizes have unified functionality;
• The display has touch functionality for intuitive operator control;
• Keys can be customized and have tactile feedback;
• Supports PROFINET or PROFIBUS connections;
• Projects can be migrated to SIMATIC advanced panels.
4. Siemens HMI Advanced Panel
The features of this type of screen include energy efficiency management with integrated diagnostic functions, offering a level above the basic panel, available in sizes from 4 inches to 12 inches, mostly widescreen, increasing the visualization area by 40%, suitable for complex operational screens.Its outstanding features are as follows:
• All panels have the same integrated high-end functions;
• Widescreen display sizes range from 4 inches to 12 inches, supporting touch or keypad operation;
• Effective energy management;
– Screen brightness adjustable from 0 to 100%;
– Screen can be turned off during production breaks;
• Ensures 100% data safety in case of power failure;
• Supports multiple communication protocols;
• Uses system cards to simplify project transfer;
• Can be used in hazardous areas.
