Introduction
Application Area
The SICALIS PMC 7 Operator Panel is a universal operator panel, which can be
used for controlling and monitoring production and transport systems, in particular
in the automobile industry. Typical uses are applications in the chassis,
body-in-white and transfer areas plus applications for single machines.
The operator panel is designed to provide ergonomic support for operation,
monitoring and diagnosis. With its 12’’ TFT display, it enables a detailed and thus
particularly meaningful diagnosis of the system.
With its high safety standard (front-side IP65) and its robust SIMATIC Box PC 820
the SICALIS PMC 7 operator panel is suitable for both raw industrial environments
and usage on location directly on the machine.
Thanks to its compact design and high-performance hardware, the operator panel
satisfies all the requirements for operation direct at the machine.
Utilizing a PC with its associated interfaces (e.g. 5 slots) enables the user to bring
the so-called PC world into this difficult environment.
Installation Options
The SICALIS PMC 7 Operator Panel can be utilized as a separate unit or built into
a switchgear cabinet. No additional fastener holes are required to mount it with the
screw-type clamps.
Device Variants
The SICALIS PMC 7 Operator Panel is available in two versions. Both versions
have the same hardware and software. They only differ in which additional controls
are included:
MOP (Main Operator Panel)
UOP (Unit Operator Panel)
Information regarding which controls are included with each variant can be found in
the table 3-1 on page 3-4.
