Product features

Siemens 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0 is a high-quality industrial human-machine interface (HMI) known as the SIMATIC HMI KP700 Comfort, which is part of Siemens' reputable Comfort Panel line. Siemens 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0 has a 7-inch wide-screen TFT display with a resolution of 800 × 480 pixels, providing clear graphics with 16.7 million colors for easy reading of data, icons, and operating status in busy industrial situations. Unlike touchscreens, this HMI has 24 clever long-stroke function buttons with LED backlights (available in five colors) and a full numeric/alphabetic keyboard. The keys have an IP65 rating, which ensures resistance to dust and water splashes in tough industrial environments.

The Siemens 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0 is powered by a DC 24V power supply (voltage range: 19.2V to 28.8V), has a working current of 0.5A, and a maximum power consumption of 12W-making it energy-efficient and ideal for long-term continuous usage. It comes with 12MB of usable flash/RAM for setup and requires a SIMATIC HMI memory card (2GB or bigger) for system storage, which allows for quick data transfer and software updates.

Multiple built-in interfaces allow for versatile communication, including one PROFINET interface with an integrated switch, one MPI/PROFIBUS DP interface, two USB 2.0 ports, and RS485/RS422 connections. This enables Siemens 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0 to connect effortlessly to Siemens PLCs and other industrial devices while supporting PROFINET, PROFIBUS, and MPI communication protocols, as well as PROFIsafe for safe industrial operations. The USB ports also allow users to attach other devices such as printers or USB drives for data logging and documentation purposes.

Precautions

When utilizing Siemens 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0 (SIMATIC HMI KP700 Comfort), take these crucial steps to ensure safe operation, a long service life, and dependable performance. First, pay close attention to the installation requirements: Siemens 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0's front panel has an IP65 protection rating, but the rear panel is only IP20, so you must install it in a control cabinet or protected area to keep dust, water splashes, and direct moisture from touching the rear connections. The preferred mounting direction is vertical; however, if horizontal installation is required, ensure that no debris collects on the screen or keys and that the ventilation around the panel is not obstructed.

The Siemens 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0 power supply requires a DC 24V power source with a voltage range of 19.2V to 28.8V; never use an AC power supply or a voltage outside of this range, as it may harm the internal components. The HMI's maximum power usage is 12W, so choose a steady power adapter that meets the standards to avoid voltage fluctuations that damage its operation.

Siemens 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0 requires a SIMATIC HMI memory card of at least 2GB capacity for system storage and program configuration. Do not use conventional USB drives or memory cards that are not compatible with Siemens, as they may result in configuration difficulties or data loss. When inserting or withdrawing a memory card, turn off the HMI power first to avoid damaging the card or the device's card slot.

FAQ

Q: What is the Siemens 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0?

A: Siemens' 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0 is a 7-inch Comfort Panel from the SIMATIC HMI series. It is a durable industrial operator panel with a high-resolution TFT widescreen display and tactile function keys. As a critical component of the Siemens TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) ecosystem, it serves as the principal human-machine interface (HMI) for monitoring and controlling machines and processes.

Q: What is the difference between "TP" and "KP" in this model number?

A: The product is officially known as the SIMATIC HMI KP700 Comfort. "KP" stands for Key Panel, signifying that it has a membrane keyboard with 24 programmable function keys (with LED indicators) and system keys for dependable operation in industrial settings. The "TP" type (such as 6AV2124-0GC01-0AX0) is a Touch Panel version of the identical 7-inch Comfort gadget, which only accepts touchscreen input.

Q: What software is required to program the 6AV2124-1GC01-0AX0?

A: This panel is set up using Siemens TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation Portal). The minimum required software package is WinCC Comfort V11 or a later version (V13, V14, V15, V16, V17, etc.). This enables unified engineering alongside Siemens PLCs.
