Overview
KeyPanel, empty front, at the back, not populated
SIMATIC HMI Key Panels
- Optimum operability thanks to large mechanical keys and multi-colored LED backlighting (daylight readable)
- Over 60% time savings for wiring and installation (Plug&Play)
- More than 30% savings in material costs compared to conventional keypad operator panels
- 2 PROFINET ports (incl. switch) already integrated for setting up line and ring topologies
- Freely configurable digital I/Os on the rear for connecting key-operated switches, indicator lamps, etc.
- Connection of fail-safe emergency stop buttons or other fail-safe signals with KP8F and KP32F (in SIL2 or SIL3)
- Functionally compatible with all standard PROFINET master CPUs, also non-Siemens
- KP8 and empty front design, also optimized for installation in IPC Extension Units in IP65
- Maximum flexibility due to parameterization
- Empty front design for standardized assembly of flexible operator panels
- Installation enclosure, fully enclosed IP65, no drilling or milling necessary, KP8(F) not included; for accessories see technical specifications for installation enclosure
Benefits
- Less planning and assembly work than in the case of discrete components, thanks to the modular design
- Savings in hardware costs: Distributed I/O, 2 PROFINET connections and I/Os are combined in one device
- Keys and lamps can be labeled in IP65 using a standard printer (black and white or color)
- High flexibility due to freely configurable colors, switch/button function and integrated diagnostics function
- Any key color can be adapted dynamically to the process
- Integrated standard inputs and outputs for actuators and sensors, and each pin can be used as input or output
- Empty front designs can be used to reserve space for later system expansions and for easy mounting of standard 22.5 mm operator controls
- Functions and design are optimally matched in the SIMATIC HMI spectrum, e.g. in PRO device extension units
- SIL 2/3 safety with the “F” variants, e.g. emergency stop can be connected directly
For further details check the manual.
Application
- Ideally suited to most verticals (automotive, F&B to oil & gas) thanks to the smooth and rugged front, even in hazardous areas (see technical specifications)
- For intuitive, fast and very easy operation with minimum wiring
- Language-neutral feedback with multi-color LEDs in the keys, even readable in sunlight
- Extensions possible when built-in, without the need for cutting tools
- Special-purpose machine manufacturing benefits from the high degree of flexibility
Design
SIMATIC HMI Key Panel – Blank front design
- Simple seamless installation with mounting clips
- Rugged design, suitable for harsh industrial environments
- Prepared for installation of 22.5 mm standard components
- Easy installation, or retrofitting during operation, of standard 22.5 mm operator controls
- IP65 installation enclosure for KP8(F); 22.5 mm operator controls partially included
SIMATIC HMI Key Panel – Basic functions
- Smooth front, therefore easy to clean
- Large mechanical illuminated pushbutton units can be programmed as switches or buttons
- Loop-through 24 V DC power supply, no additional terminals required
- Two PROFINET interfaces, perfect for line operation
- Suitable for ring operation thanks to media redundancy protocol (MRP), normal running even when the PROFINET power supply cable is unplugged
- Inputs and outputs on the rear, each pin can be used as an input or an output
- The F variants are also equipped with SIL 2/3 inputs
SIMATIC HMI KP8 PN
- 8 large mechanical illuminated pushbuttons with extremely good tactile feedback, thus also suitable for harsh industrial environments
- 8 freely configurable digital I/Os
- For standard CPUs
SIMATIC HMI KP8F PN
- Additional digital fail-safe inputs for connecting single-channel or 1 x 2-channel sensors, such as emergency stop
- For fail-safe CPUs
SIMATIC HMI KP32F PN
- 32 large mechanical illuminated pushbuttons with extremely good tactile feedback, thus also suitable for harsh industrial environments
- 16 freely configurable digital I/Os
- Additional digital fail-safe inputs for connecting 4 x 1-channel or 2 x 2-channel sensors, such as emergency stop
- For fail-safe and standard CPUs
