HMIs for challenging outdoor applications

Where operation in challenging environments is a requirement, Siemens has expanded its high-performance Comfort Panel class in the Simatic HMI series to include particularly rugged devices for use in extreme ambient conditions. The Simatic HMI TP700 and Simatic HMI TP1500 Comfort Outdoor Panels are equipped with a UV-protected device front with degree of protection IP65 and are ideally suited for use in refrigerated buildings, ships, or the oil and gas industry. The new devices can be used in a wide range of temperatures from -30 to +60°C and in up to 90% air humidity.

The high-resolution and daylight-readable 7in or 15in widescreen displays with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and up to 16 million colours can also display complex process or plant images in a manageable, detailed manner. The high degree of glare reduction, wide reading angles, and automatic dimming allow for reliable and strain-free operator control and monitoring.
