SIMATIC TP 270
Panels — 270 series
2
■
Overview
• Touch panel with extensive functional scope for demanding
machine visualization applications
• Pixel graphics 5.7" or 10.4” STN Touch Screen (analog/resis-
tive),
color (256 colors)
• All interfaces on board, e.g. MPI, PROFIBUS DP, USB;
Ethernet optional
• The SIMATIC TP 270 Touch Panels are innovative successors
to the SIMATIC TP27 Touch Panels
■
Benefits
• Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):
Increases productivity, minimizes the engineering outlay,
reduces the lifecycle costs
• Modular expansion possible with options such as:
- WinCC flexible /Sm@rtAccess for communication between
various SIMATIC HMI systems
- WinCC flexible /Sm@rtService for remote maintenance and
servicing of machines/plants via the Internet/intranet
• Reduces the service and start-up costs due to:
- Backup/restore via USB, MPI, PROFIBUS DP, RS 232 (serial)
and optionally via Ethernet (TCP/IP) or compact flash card
(CF card)
- Remote downloading/uploading of the configuration and
firmware
- Specific drivers can be downloaded
- Long service life of the backlighting
• Graphics library is available complete with ready-to-use
display objects
• Can be used worldwide:
- 32 languages can be configured (including Asiatic and
Cyrillic character sets)
- Up to 5 languages are selectable online
• Standard hardware and software interfaces to increase
flexibility:
- CF card, used for recipe data sets and for backing up the
configuration and system data
- Integrated USB interface for "Hot plug-in/out“ of I/O devices
(printer, keyboard, mouse, barcode reader)
- Standard Windows storage format (CSV) for archives
and recipes for further processing using standard tools
(e.g. MS Excel)
- Optional Ethernet (TCP/IP) for centralized data management
and project management;
connection of PLC to SIMATIC S7 when configuring with
WinCC flexible
■
Application
The SIMATIC TP 270 Touch Panels can be used in all applica-
tions in which operator control and monitoring of machines and
installations is required on site – whether in production automa-
tion, process automation or building service automation. They
are in use in an extensive range of sectors and applications.
Their operation without a hard disk or fan, real-time capability as
well as short start-up times make demanding machine visualiza-
tion tasks possible even under harsh industrial conditions.

Design
• 5.7” (TP 270 6“) or 10.4“ (TP 270 10“) STN color display,
256 colors
• Resistive analog Touch
• Compact design with small installation depth
• Rugged plastic (TP 270 6") or aluminum die-cast housing
(TP 270 10") with IP65/NEMA 4/NEMA 12 (front) or IP20
(rear of unit) degree of protection
• The front is resistant to various oils, greases and standard
detergents
• High electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and extreme vibra-
tion resistance
• Plug-type terminals for connection of a 24 V DC power supply
• Interfaces:
- Serial RS 232 interface and RS 485/422 for process con-
nections and for downloading the configuration (MPI and
PROFIBUS DP up to 12 Mbit/s)
- Serial RS 232 interface (printer, download/upload)
- USB for mouse, keyboard, printer and downloading/
uploading configurations
- Optional Ethernet (TCP/IP) using network card for exchang-
ing data with a higher-level PC, connecting a network printer
and downloading/uploading configurations;
