The new generation of Siemens high-end HMI devices that range in size from 7 to 22 inches are part of the SIMATIC WinCC Unified system. Compared to the predecessor devices, the new generation offers numerous improvements with regard to performance, openness and ease of use.
Thanks to the capacitive glass front with multitouch technology, the Unified Comfort Panels are as easy to operate as a smartphone or tablet. Vibrant colours and high contrasts improve the readability of the display and the user friendliness.
The visualisation on the devices is based on SIMATIC WinCC Unified, the new visualisation system in the TIA Portal. It offers users many new possibilities and functionalities across all device sizes.
The option to extend the functionality of the devices through apps is generally new in the SIMATIC HMI product portfolio. Up to now, HMI Panels were used exclusively for visualisation software. Thanks to the integration of Siemens Industrial Edge, users can now run other programs at the same time in addition to the standard device functionality. This makes for quick and easy implementation of project-specific requirements.
