Simatic combined active barrier and loop power supply

The Simatic human machine interface (HMI) device series now includes modular expansion units with IP65 protection. The new components in the design of the HMI devices are individually equipped for plant-specific operator control and monitoring tasks; for example, with illuminated pushbuttons, lamps, switches, USB ports or emergency stop buttons.

The expansion units are suitable for all Simatic HMI devices with all-round IP65 protection and are optionally attached on the left side, right side, or both sides of the Multi Panel 377 Pro 15", Thin Client Pro 15", or Flat Panel Monitor Pro 15".

The complete system comprising an HMI device and expansion units now permits additional control activities and applications directly on site at the operator station.

The expansion units are also wired up directly to the support arm system, independently of the HMI device, so that the wiring does not have to be disconnected for maintenance or replacement of the HMI device.
