This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the relevant information is not taken into account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

Configuration and runtime software have different names as follows:
● "WinCC flexible 2008" or "WinCC (TIA Portal) V11", for example, refers to the
configuration software.
The term "WinCC flexible" or "WinCC" is used in a general context. The full name, for
example, "WinCC flexible 2008", is always used when it is necessary to differentiate
between different versions of the configuration software.
● "WinCC flexible Runtime" or "WinCC Runtime" refers to the runtime software that can run
on HMI devices.

Overview
1.1 Product Overview
Concentrating on the essentials - the new Basic Panels
Today, visualization is part of the standard repertoire for most machines. The cost factor
plays a crucial role in this case, especially for small machines and simple applications. HMI
devices with basic functions are often fully sufficient for simple applications.
This is exactly the demand that we intend to meet – with our new SIMATIC HMI Basic
Panels. By concentrating on the essentials, the Basic Panels offer exactly those basic
features that are demanded – at the right price. A perfect cost-to-performance ratio.
Like all devices in our product catalog, the new Basic Panels offer proven SIMATIC quality
and – regardless of their display dimensions – many software functions as standard: for
example, an alarm system, recipe management, trend functionality and language switching.
Users therefore profit from the advantages of visualization, such as improved process
quality, even with simple applications.
