NEW 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0

Core Functionality

• Process Monitoring: Displays real-time data such as equipment status (operational, idle, faulted), sensor readings (e.g., temperature, pressure), and production metrics (e.g., output counts, cycle times) through a clear visual interface.
• Operator Control: Allows users to interact with connected systems via intuitive inputs—including touch commands and physical keys—to initiate/stop processes, adjust parameters (e.g., setpoints), or acknowledge alarms.
• Alarm Management: Presents system alerts (errors, warnings, or critical events) with distinct visual indicators, enabling operators to quickly identify and resolve issues to maintain operational continuity.

Technical Specifications

• Display: Features a 12-inch color TFT touchscreen with a resolution optimized for readability in industrial settings. The screen offers good contrast and wide viewing angles, ensuring clarity even in environments with varying lighting conditions (e.g., bright factory floors or dimly lit control rooms).
• Input Methods: Combines a responsive touch interface for flexible interaction (e.g., tapping buttons, entering numeric values) with physical function keys for quick access to critical commands (e.g., emergency stops, mode selection), enhancing operational efficiency.
• Processing Capability: Equipped with a microprocessor tailored to handle basic HMI tasks, ensuring smooth navigation, rapid data updates, and reliable response to operator inputs.
• Connectivity:
  • Supports PROFINET for seamless integration with Siemens SIMATIC PLCs (e.g., S7-1200, S7-1500) and other PROFINET-compatible industrial devices, enabling direct data exchange.
  • May include USB ports for project transfer, data logging, or connecting peripherals like keyboards or memory sticks.
• Mounting: Designed for panel mounting (flush or surface), facilitating easy installation into control cabinets or machine enclosures to save space in industrial setups.

Key Applications

• Medium-scale packaging lines
• Material handling systems (e.g., automated conveyors)
• Assembly machines with moderate process steps
• Pump or compressor control panels
• Simple batch processing equipment

Compatibility

• Integrates seamlessly with Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFINET, ensuring synchronized data flow between the HMI and control logic.
• Configured using Siemens TIA Portal software (specifically WinCC Basic), which provides a unified environment for designing user screens, defining tags, and programming basic logic, simplifying the engineering workflow.

Industrial Design

• Built to withstand harsh industrial conditions, with a rugged construction and an IP rating (typically IP65 on the front) for protection against dust, water splashes, and minor mechanical impacts.
• Operates within a wide temperature range (often -10°C to 55°C), making it suitable for environments with fluctuating temperatures, such as factories or outdoor industrial sites.

Advantages

• Balanced Performance: Offers a larger 12-inch display for enhanced visibility of process data while maintaining cost-effectiveness compared to advanced HMI panels.
• User-Friendly: The combination of a touchscreen and physical keys simplifies operator training and daily use, reducing operational errors.
• Space-Efficient: Compact design allows for easy integration into control cabinets, even in space-constrained setups.
• Ecosystem Compatibility: Part of Siemens’ Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) framework, ensuring seamless interaction with other Siemens automation components (PLCs, drives, sensors) for a cohesive system.
