Product overview
The beauty of simplicity
New, cost-efficient HMI generation meets the trend for high-quality visualization even in
small machines and plants
Siemens meets the requirements of users for high-quality visualization and operation even in
small and medium-size machines and plants with the second generation of SIMATIC HMI
Basic Panels. While the price of the new devices is based on the current panels, their scope
of performance has been expanded tremendously. The high resolution and a color depth of
up to 65,500 colors are major factors contributing to the increased performance.
Even the connectivity either by PROFINET or PROFIBUS interface plus USB port could be
significantly improved. Configuration and operation of the new panels has become easier in
connection with simplified programming by means of the new WinCC software version in the
TIA Portal.

In the following, all of these mounting options are referred to by the general term "cabinet".
The device is self-ventilated and approved for inclined mounting at angles up to +/-35° from
the vertical in stationary cabinets.
Inclined installation reduces the convection by the device and therefore the maximum
permitted ambient temperature for operation.
If there is sufficient forced ventilation, the device can also be operated in the inclined
mounting position up to the maximum permitted ambient temperature for vertical
installation. The device may otherwise be damaged and its certifications and warranty will
be rendered null and void.
The ambient temperature ranges listed in this section apply to the temperature inside the
cabinet.
Select one of the approved mounting positions for your device. The approved mounting
positions are described in the following sections.

Connecting the equipotential bonding circuit
Differences in electrical potential
General requirements for equipotential bonding
Note
Equipotential bonding conductor
Cable shielding is not suitable for equipotential bonding. Always use the prescribed
equipotential bonding conductors. The cross
must not be less than 16
installing MPI and PROFIBUS DP networks. The interface modules may otherwise be
damaged or destroyed.
3.3 Connecting the HMI device
Differences in electrical potential can develop between spatially separated system
components. Such electrical potential differences can lead to high equalizing currents on the
data cables and therefore to the destruction of their interfaces. Equalizing currents can
develop if the cable shielding is terminated at both ends and grounded to different system
parts.
Differences in potential may develop when a system is connected to different mains
supplies.
Differences in potential must be reduced by means of equipotential bonding conductors to
ensure trouble-free operation of the relevant components of the electronic system. The
following must therefore be observed when installing the equipotential bonding circuit:
● The effectiveness of equipotential bonding increases as the impedance of the
equipotential bonding conductor decreases or as its cross-section increases.
● If two system parts are interconnected by means of shielded data cables and their
shielding is bonded at both ends to the grounding/protective conductor, the impedance of
the additionally installed equipotential bonding conductor must not exceed 10% of the
shielding impedance.
● The cross-section of an equipotential bonding conductor must be capable of handling the
maximum equalizing current. The best practical results for equipotential bonding between
two cabinets have been achieved with a minimum conductor cross-section of 16 mm².
● Use equipotential bonding conductors made of copper or galvanized steel. Establish a
large surface contact between the equipotential bonding conductors and the
grounding/protective conductor and protect them from corrosion.
● Clamp the shielding of the data cable from the HMI device flush at the equipotential rail
using suitable cable clamps. The equipotential rail should be very close to the HMI
device.
● Route the equipotential bonding conductor and data cables in parallel and with minimum
clearance between them.

An incorrectly dimensioned power supply can destroy the HMI device.
Use a 24 V DC power supply with adequate amperage; see Technical specifications
(Page 109).
For the 24 V DC supply, use only power supply units with safe electrical isolation in
accordance with IEC 60364-4-41 or HD 384.04.41 (VDE 0100, Part 410), e.g. conforming
to the SELV/PELV standard.
The supply voltage must be within the specified voltage range. Otherwise, malfunctions at
the HMI device cannot be ruled out.
Applies to non-isolated system configurations:
Connect the GND 24 V connection from the 24 V power supply output to equipotential
bonding for uniform reference potential. You should always select a central point of
termination.
Connect the two power supply
cables to the power supply
connector as shown. Secure the
power supply cables with a slotted
screwdriver.
Connect the power supply
connector to the HMI device.
Check the correct polarity of the
cables using the interface marking
on the back of the HMI device.
Switch off the power supply.

NOTICE
Damage to the touch screen
Triggering unintended actions
Note
The HMI device returns a visual feedback as soon as it detects that an operating element
has been touched.
The visual feedback is independent of any communication with the c
feedback signal therefore does not indicate whether or not the relevant action is actually
executed.
All Basic Panels 2nd Generation come equipped with a touch screen and function keys. You
use the touch screen to operate the Start Center or the project running on your HMI device.
You use the function keys to trigger the associated configured functions within a project.
A project can contain certain operations that require in-depth knowledge about the specific
system on the part of the operator.
Ensure that only trained professional personnel operate the system.
Pointed or sharp objects, abrupt contact, and continuous gesture operation can significantly
reduce the life of the touch screen and possibly lead to total failure of the touch screen.
• Do not touch the touch screen with pointed or sharp objects.
• Avoid contacting the touch screen abruptly with hard objects.
• Avoid continuous operation of the touch screen with gestures.
Touching several operating elements at the same time can trigger unintended actions.
Touch only one operating element on the screen at a time.
Operating elements are touch-sensitive symbols on the screen of the HMI device.
They are basically operated in the same way as mechanical keys. You activate operating
elements by touching them with your finger.

The function keys can be assigned global or local functions:
●
A function key with global function assignment always triggers the same action on the
HMI device or in the controller, regardless of the currently displayed screen. An example
of such an action is the activation of a screen, or the closing of an alarm window.
●
A function key with local function assignment is screen-specific and is therefore only
effective within the active screen. The function assigned to such a function key can vary
from screen to screen.
The function key can be assigned only a single function, either global or local, within a
screen. Local function assignments override global function assignments.

A project – the process image of the working process – is created during configuration to
visualize automated working processes. The process displays for the project contain
displays for values and messages which provide information about process statuses. The
process control phase follows the configuration phase.
The project must be transferred to the HMI device if it is to be used in process control.
Another prerequisite for process control is that the HMI device is connected online to a
controller. Current working processes - operating and observing - can then be subject to
process control.
You can transfer a project to an HMI device as follows:
● Transfer from the configuration PC
● Restore from a PC using ProSave
In this case, an archived project is transferred from a PC to the HMI device. The
configuration software does not need to be installed on the PC.
ProSave is a service tool that enables you to manage data on your HMI device. With
ProSave, you can update the operating system of the HMI device, for example, or backup
its data.
● Pack & Go
A project is transferred by means of a storage medium to the HMI device using a PC with
ProSave. The configuration software does not need to be installed on the PC.
Initial startup and recommissioning differ in the following respects:
● With initial startup, there is not project on the HMI device.
The HMI device is also in this state after the operating system has been updated.
● When recommissioning, any project already on the HMI device is replaced.
The HMI device may be in the following operating modes:
● Offline
● Online
● Transfer
"Offline mode" and "Online mode" can be set on both the configuration PC and the HMI
device. To set these modes on the HMI device, use a corresponding operating element of
the project.
The configuration engineer must have configured an appropriate operating element to allow
a change of the operating mode on the HMI device during ongoing operation.
Additional information may be available in your system documentation.
In this mode, there is no communication between the HMI device and the controller. Even
though the HMI device can be operated, it cannot exchange data with the controller.
In this mode, the HMI device and the controller communicate with each other. You can
operate the system on the HMI device according to your system configuration.
In this mode, you can transfer a project from the configuration PC to the HMI device, for
example, or backup and restore HMI device data.
The following options are available for setting "Transfer" mode on the HMI device:
● When the HMI device starts up
Start "Transfer" mode manually in the HMI device Loader.
● During ongoing operation
Start the "Transfer" mode manually within the project using an operating element. The
HMI device toggles to "Transfer" mode when automatic mode is set and a transfer is
initiated on the configuration PC.
