- Environmental: IP65 front, IP20 rear; operating 0–50 °C vertical, 0–40 °C tilted.
- Certifications: CE, cULus, RCM, KC, marine approvals (GL, ABS, BV, DNV, LRS, NK).
Real-World Applications
This HMI is ideal for machine building, packaging lines, and process control where space is limited but performance is critical. Its PROFINET interface enables seamless integration with Siemens S7-1200/1500 PLCs, while EtherNet/IP and MODBUS TCP/IP support Allen Bradley and Modicon controllers. In a typical scenario, operators use the touch screen to monitor production metrics, acknowledge alarms, and adjust parameters directly from the panel.
Installation and Mounting
The 6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0 supports both portrait and landscape mounting, with a maximum tilt angle of 35° without external ventilation. The mounting cutout is 198 mm x 142 mm, and the overall depth is 39 mm. Ensure the panel is installed in a vertical position for optimal cooling and touch accuracy. The front panel is IP65-rated, protecting against dust and water jets, making it suitable for washdown areas.
Maintenance and Reliability
With an LED backlight MTBF of 20,000 hours at 25 °C, this HMI is designed for long service life. The retentive clock backup lasts typically 6 weeks, preserving time stamps during power outages. Routine inspection should focus on the front seal and touch screen integrity. Avoid exposing the panel to condensation (max 90% RH, non-condensing) to prevent internal damage.
Compatibility and Integration
The panel is configurable with WinCC Basic (TIA Portal) V13 or higher, and supports STEP 7 Basic/Professional. It communicates with S7-1200, S7-1500, S7-300/400, LOGO!, WinAC, SINUMERIK, and SIMOTION. For multi-vendor environments, it also connects to Allen Bradley (EtherNet/IP), Mitsubishi (MC TCP/IP), and Modicon (MODBUS TCP/IP). The USB port allows data logging to a USB drive, and the Ethernet port supports program upload/download.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If the display does not power up, verify the 24 V DC supply is within 19.2–28.8 V and check the inrush current (0.2 A²·s) does not trip the breaker. For communication failures, confirm the PROFINET cable is connected to the correct port and that the IP settings match your network. If the touch screen becomes unresponsive, recalibrate it via the control panel or restart the HMI. For persistent issues, consult the Siemens manual or contact AutoDCSTech.
