Product overview
The SIMATIC HMI device "MP 377 15" Touch daylight readable" offers a special display and
touch technology. This technology offers a brighter display that lets operators monitor and
operate even under very bright light conditions. Good readability is ensured even in direct
sunlight due to the transflective properties of the display. You can dim the backlighting of the
display on the display itself as well as externally and centrally via process value (tag), for
example by means of a potentiometer via the PLC. This means you can use the panel in
control cabins for drilling rigs and in control stations onboard ships.
You can operate the HMI device outdoors if it is installed in a suitable control cabinet. The
necessary, extended ambient temperature range during operation can be created with the
help of active heating and cooling in the control cabinet. We recommend that you consult an
experienced control cabinet designer for appropriate sizing. Intelligent control of heating and
cooling is available with the retrofit panel option "TEK - Temperature Extension Kit".
Certifications are in preparation for operation in the Oil&Gas industry as well as applications
in shipbuilding. These include ATEX Zone 2/22, Class I, Div. 2 as well as country-specific
shipbuilding certificates.
The display offers a large viewing angle that makes for fatigue-free operating and
monitoring. Mounted fans make it possible that you can install the HMI device vertically as
well as inclined in a control cabinet.
