SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels Outdoor

Special HMI Panels have been developed which are designed to withstand outdoor environments.

It's not only extreme temperatures which call for robust hardware. Direct sunlight, too, must not be allowed to impair display readability and the panel front must be protected from UV radiation. The specially-bonded Outdoor fronts and the rugged hardware of the Outdoor Panels make the SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels Outdoor a reliable partner in this environment.

  • For outdoor operation without additional measures
  • 7" and 15" daylight-readable display, widescreen
  • Automatic, central or manual dimming of the backlight, with integrated sensor
  • Panel front 100% UV protected
  • Front resistant to salt mist
  • Front IP66 and Nema4 x (indoor/outdoor)
  • Numerous explosion protection and shipbuilding certifications
  • Extended operating temperature range: from -30 °C to +60 °C at 3 000 m installation altitude
  • TIA Portal central engineering tool (WinCC V13 SP1&HSP or higher)
  • Comfort Panel functionality and performance

Notice:

The 7" Comfort Panel Outdoor corresponds to a 7" Comfort Panel Standard, the 15" Comfort Panel Outdoor corresponds to a 12" Comfort Panel Standard in respect of performance, functionality and quantity structure.

  • The mechanical design of the SIMATIC HMI Comfort Outdoor Panels differentiates them from other units in that they have an extremely rugged appearance.
  • The front is made from milled, powder-coated aluminum.
  • Special powder coating protects the front against ultraviolet radiation and salt mist.
  • The GFG Touch (glass-foil-glass) is bonded to the display to form a single optical unit. This ensures that no moisture can get between the two layers to cause fogging and also prevents reflective phenomena to the largest possible extent.
  • This high-quality bonding enables energy-saving backlight to be used, in contrast to very bright, energy-intensive backlit displays which achieve the same effects.
  • The dimension drawings can be found in the manual available as a free download in the SIMATIC Support area. Online 3D CAD drawings are also available.
  • An integrated PN switch provides two PN interfaces for operation in ring or line topologies. This enables hardware configurations that do not require additional network components.
  • For applications where there are aggressive substances in the atmosphere, the electrical components can have customized hardening (see also SIPLUS variants).
  • No additional expense or measures in the outdoor area for:
    • Climatic adaptations
    • UV protection
    • Glare protection
    • Automatic dimming
  • Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):
    Increased productivity, minimum engineering overhead, reduction in life-cycle costs.
  • Can also be deployed in an upright position in a laterally limited installation space (all touch devices).
  • Seamless compatibility across the Comfort Panel range for existing projects from Standard to Outdoor.
    This means that TP700 Comfort Standard and TP1200 Comfort Standard projects can be used without issue on TP700 Comfort Outdoor and/or TP1500 Comfort Outdoor Panels. The TP1500 Comfort Outdoor Panel displays the configuration of the TP1200 Comfort Standard proportionately larger.
  • Projects can be created with a Standard Panel, and subsequently also used on an Outdoor Panel (device switchover).

The Outdoor Panels can be operated in outdoor environments without the need for additional measures. Additional heating or cooling units are not required. The daylight-readable display is optically bonded to the unit and is glare-free thanks to special polarizing films. So the screen contents are highly legible even in daylight.



The Panel is just at home In the marine sector as it is offshore. Drilling platforms, ships, special vehicles or other, awkwardly located fields of application can now be easily accessed.
