SIMATIC HMI KEY PANELS

Innovative operator panels for up to 60 % time savings in terms of mounting

The compact SIMATIC HMI Key Panels replace conventional operator panels at a way more cost favourable price. Thanks to the device’s turnkey preassembly, they support time savings of up to 60 % in terms of mounting.

Flexible mounting and service

The devices are dimensioned for direct switchboard installation and can also be mounted to third-party support arm and stand systems as a standard by means of flexible mechanics. This supports their optimum use on machines in any application – for ergonomic operation at various points of plants or production lines. As power supply and bus cables are directly looped through on the Key Panel, no separate terminals are required. Furthermore, the F-versions support the direct connection of E-STOP devices or safety-related sensors, which further minimizes the wiring expenditures.

Highlights

• Large mechanical buttons and multi-color LEDs (daylight-readable)
• Maximum flexibility through parameterization options
• Wiring time savings of over 60 % and material cost reductions of over 30 %
• Easy-to-label keys in IP65
• 2 PROFINET ports (incl. switch) for the assembly of line and ring structures
• Integrated digital I/Os on the device’s rear for the connection of key switches, indicator lights, etc.
• Direct connection of E-STOP and other fail-safe sensors with F-versions
• Functional compatibility with all standard PROFINET master CPUs (also by third-party manufacturers)
