HMI monitors

Siemens has added a series of rugged HMI devices with all-round IP65 protection to the Simatic HMI (human machine interface) range.

Featuring a slim industrial design, the devices are designed for mounting on a support bracket or supporting foot. The series is available in three versions: flat-panel monitor pro, a rugged industrial monitor that can be installed up to 30 m from the PC; thin-client pro, suitable as a second workstation for terminal and web-client applications; and multi-panel 377 pro, a device that can be expanded when necessary but is intended for use with the WinAC MP 2007 control software

All the devices have protection and a 15" touch display. Fitted with a flexible interface, they can be mounted on different support-bracket or supporting foot systems. They can be used independently of control cabinets or machines and to enable ergonomic operator control even in difficult places.

The devices can be connected to the support bracket or floor-mounted column from above or below as desired. A feature of the devices is their low weight.
