color (256 colors)

• All interfaces on board, e.g. MPI, PROFIBUS DP, USB;
Ethernet optional

• The SIMATIC TP 270 Touch Panels are innovative successors
to the SIMATIC TP27 Touch Panels

■

Benefits

• Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):
Increases productivity, minimizes the engineering outlay,
reduces the lifecycle costs

• Modular expansion possible with options such as:

- WinCC flexible /Sm@rtAccess for communication between

various SIMATIC HMI systems

- WinCC flexible /Sm@rtService for remote maintenance and

servicing of machines/plants via the Internet/intranet

• Reduces the service and start-up costs due to:

- Backup/restore via USB, MPI, PROFIBUS DP, RS 232 (serial)

and optionally via Ethernet (TCP/IP) or compact flash card
(CF card)

- Remote downloading/uploading of the configuration and

firmware

- Specific drivers can be downloaded

- Long service life of the backlighting

• Graphics library is available complete with ready-to-use
display objects

• Can be used worldwide:

- 32 languages can be configured (including Asiatic and

Cyrillic character sets)

- Up to 5 languages are selectable online

• Standard hardware and software interfaces to increase
flexibility:

- CF card, used for recipe data sets and for backing up the

configuration and system data

- Integrated USB interface for "Hot plug-in/out“ of I/O devices

(printer, keyboard, mouse, barcode reader)

- Standard Windows storage format (CSV) for archives

and recipes for further processing using standard tools
(e.g. MS Excel)

- Optional Ethernet (TCP/IP) for centralized data management

and project management;
connection of PLC to SIMATIC S7 when configuring with
WinCC flexible

■

Application

The SIMATIC TP 270 Touch Panels can be used in all applica­tions in which operator control and monitoring of machines and
installations is required on site – whether in production automa­tion, process automation or building service automation. They
are in use in an extensive range of sectors and applications.

Their operation without a hard disk or fan, real-time capability as
well as short start-up times make demanding machine visualiza­tion tasks possible even under harsh industrial conditions.

■

Design

• 5.7” (TP 270 6“) or 10.4“ (TP 270 10“) STN color display,
256 colors

• Resistive analog Touch

• Compact design with small installation depth

• Rugged plastic (TP 270 6") or aluminum die-cast housing
(TP 270 10") with IP65/NEMA 4/NEMA 12 (front) or IP20
(rear of unit) degree of protection

• The front is resistant to various oils, greases and standard
detergents

• High electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and extreme vibra­tion resistance

• Plug-type terminals for connection of a 24 V DC power supply

• Interfaces:

- Serial RS 232 interface and RS 485/422 for process con-

nections and for downloading the configuration (MPI and
PROFIBUS DP up to 12 Mbit/s)

- Serial RS 232 interface (printer, download/upload)

- USB for mouse, keyboard, printer and downloading/

uploading configurations

- Optional Ethernet (TCP/IP) using network card for exchang-

ing data with a higher-level PC, connecting a network printer
and downloading/uploading configurations;
connection of PLC to SIMATIC S7 when configuring with
WinCC flexible
