SIMATIC Multi Panels
Thanks to Windows CE, the multifunctional platforms offer PC-like openness and flexibility combined with rugged, compact, and cost-optimized hardware. Without hard disk and fan, the SIMATIC Multi Panels can be used for visualization even where high vibrations or dust-laden atmospheres restrict the use of a PC.
Multi Panels are distinguished by their high performance, openness and expandability and permit integration of additional software applications based on standard Windows CE. This means the multi panels can combine several automation functions on a single platform. HTML documents for operating or work instructions, for example, can be displayed with the help of the Microsoft Internet Explorer (preinstalled). It can be configured which Internet/intranet pages are accessible.
The series 277 Multi Panels represent the entry into the class of multifunctional platforms. They offer an optimum performance and impressive features. Based on the Operating System Windows CE and the Engineering Software WinCC flexible they are characterized by high flexibility and connectivity.
With the introduction of the four new SIMATIC HMI MP 377's the 370 series of panels has been completely innovated with newer, faster, and more advanced features. The successor 377 products to the 370 series includes 12" and 15" TFT displays, as well as introducing a new version with a 19" display for complex and sophisticated HMI applications. In addition to being ideally suited for HMI applications the 377 series supports control applications utilizing the Software PLC WinAC MP2007, integrating control and HMI on one platform.
