Overview
Basic Panels (2nd Generation)
SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels (2nd Generation) with their fully developed HMI basic functions are the ideal entry-level series for simple HMI applications.
The device family offers panels with 4″, 7″, 9″ and 12″ displays, as well as combined key and touch operation.
The innovative high-resolution widescreen displays with 64 000 colors are also suitable for upright installation, and they can be dimmed down to 100%. The innovative operator interface with improved usability opens up a diverse range of options thanks to new controls and graphics. The new USB interface enables the connection of keyboard, mouse or barcode scanner, and supports the simple archiving of data on a USB flash drive as well as the manual backup and restoring of the complete panel.
The integrated Ethernet or RS 485/422 interface (version-specific) enables simple connection to the controller.
Benefits
- Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):
Enhanced productivity, minimization of engineering costs, reduction of lifecycle costs- Can also be deployed in an upright position where installation space is restricted
- Short configuring and commissioning times
- Service-friendly thanks to maintenance-free design
- Simple and user-friendly representation of process values thanks to, for example, input/output fields, vector graphics, trend curves, bar charts, text and bitmaps
- Flexible connection of USB stick, keyboard, mouse or barcode scanner using USB port
- Graphics library available with off-the-shelf picture objects
- Can be used worldwide:
- 32 languages can be configured (incl. Asian and Cyrillic character sets)
- You can switch between up to 10 languages online
- Language-dependent texts and graphics
Application
The SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels can be used wherever compact machines and plants are controlled and monitored locally, such as in production, process and building automation. They may be used in all kinds of industries and applications.
Design
The SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels are installation-compatible with the existing touch devices of the product family of Panels and Multi Panels.

Function
- Input/output fields – for displaying and modifying process parameters
- Buttons – are used for direct triggering of functions and actions. Up to 16 functions can be configured simultaneously on buttons.
- Graphics – can be used as icons instead of text to “label” function keys or buttons. They can also be used as full-screen background images. The configuration tool contains a library with extensive graphics and diverse objects. All editors with an OLE interface (such as PaintShop, Designer or CorelDraw) can be used as graphics editors
- Vector graphics – Simple geometric basic forms (line, circle and rectangle) can be created direct in the configuring tool
- Predefined -for labeling function keys, process pictures and process values in different font sizes
- Curve functions and bars – are used for graphical display of dynamic values
- Language selection:
- 10 online languages, 32 configuration languages incl. Asian and Cyrillic character sets
- Language-dependent texts and graphics
- User administration (security) in accordance with the requirements of the different industries
- Authentication with user ID and password
- User-group-specific rights
- Alarm logging
- Discrete messages
- Analog messages
- Freely-definable message classes (e.g. status/fault messages) for definition of acknowledgment response and display of message events
- Message history
- Recipe management
- Help texts – for process screens, messages and variables
- Browser control – for easy access to the Web server of the S7 and LOGO!
- Arithmetic functions
- Limit value monitoring – for reliable process control of inputs and outputs
- Indicator light – for indicating machine and plant statuses
- Scheduler for global function execution in case of global events
- Archiving of process values and alarms on USB stick in .txt format
- USB port for simple connection of USB stick, keyboard, mouse or barcode scanner
- Template concept for creation of screen templates (screen elements configured in the template appear in every screen)
- Simple maintenance and configuration thanks to:
- Backup/restore of configuring, operating system and firmware on/from a USB stick or PC using ProSave for fast commissioning and for simple replacement of devices
- Configuration download via MPI/PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET
- Automatic transfer identification
- Individual brightness adjustment and calibration
- Clean screen
- Real time clock with battery backup (backup time typically 6 weeks)
- No battery required
Configuration
The configuration is implemented using the engineering software SIMATIC WinCC Basic, Comfort, Professional or SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic/Professional (with integrated WinCC Basic).
