1.1 Product Overview
Concentrating on the essentials - the new Basic Panels
Today, visualization is part of the standard repertoire for most machines. The cost factor
plays a crucial role in this case, especially for small machines and simple applications. HMI
devices with basic functions are often fully sufficient for simple applications.
This is exactly the demand that we intend to meet – with our new SIMATIC HMI Basic
Panels. By concentrating on the essentials, the Basic Panels offer exactly those basic
features that are demanded – at the right price. A perfect cost-to-performance ratio.
Like all devices in our product catalog, the new Basic Panels offer proven SIMATIC quality
and – regardless of their display dimensions – many software functions as standard: for
example, an alarm system, recipe management, trend functionality and language switching.
Users therefore profit from the advantages of visualization, such as improved process
quality, even with simple applications.
