Siemens has expanded its range of operator devices for simple applications. The 4“ to 12“ second-generation Simatic HMI Basic Panels are claimed to offer an innovative user experience with ease of servicing and high-resolution wide-screen displays with up to 64,000 colours.

The devices are suitable for getting started with graphical process visualisation. With their numerous integrated software functions, such as a reporting system, recipe management, curve functionality and language switching, users benefit from improved visualisation and process quality even when they are running simple applications. Process monitoring is simplified by an integrated USB interface. The operating options can be expanded by connecting a mouse, keyboard, or bar-code scanner as required.

Projects created for a basic panel, can be easily transferred and migrated to devices of different performance classes or display sizes. This allows users to respond quickly to changing requirements. Various controllers can be connected using the integrated Profinet or Profibus DP interfaces. Configuring the Simatic HMI basic panels in TIA Portal enables the user to achieve a higher level of engineering efficiency.
