Product overview
The beauty of simplicity
New, cost-efficient HMI generation meets the trend for high-quality visualization even in
small machines and plants
Siemens meets the requirements of users for high-quality visualization and operation even in
small and medium-size machines and plants with the second generation of SIMATIC HMI
Basic Panels. While the price of the new devices is based on the current panels, their scope
of performance has been expanded tremendously. The high resolution and a color depth of
up to 65,500 colors are major factors contributing to the increased performance.
Even the connectivity either by PROFINET or PROFIBUS interface plus USB port could be
significantly improved. Configuration and operation of the new panels has become easier in
connection with simplified programming by means of the new WinCC software version in the
TIA Portal.
