The Benefits of Using Siemens Comfort Panels

Siemens Comfort Panels are made to enhance user control, comfort and usability. The innovative engineering framework provided by the TIA Portal combined with the comfortable, user-friendly design of the comfort panel provides a superior user experience. Comprehensive integration, flexible designs, secure data protection, and easy operation help to optimize nearly any process.

Exceptional Displays

With a widescreen format, Siemens Comfort Panel’s displays are better organized and easier to view complex information. They provide a 40% larger visualization area than conventional displays and make it easy to divide the screen into sections in order to view application control and application monitoring screens. With 16 million colors on a high-resolution display supporting a 170° viewing angle, the screen is easy to read in nearly any situation.

  • Widescreen format with 40% larger visualization area than conventional displays
  • Divide screen into sections for better organization
  • High-resolution display with 16 million colors
  • Wide viewing angle up to 170°

Easy Operation

The operator controls are designed in a way that is similar to a mobile phone keypad. This allows for an intuitive user experience that works fast and is easy to learn. The function keys are equipped with LEDs, showing the operator which options are available and providing built-in user guidance. The keys also provide tactile feedback, making it easier to work in difficult environments or with gloves.

  • Intuitive, user-friendly keypad design
  • User guidance provided by LEDs
  • Tactile feedback

Energy Efficient

By integrating with PROFIenergy controls, Siemens Comfort Panels are able to substantially reduce energy costs and energy consumption of automation components. During idle time, individual loads or entire production units are turned off. This results in energy savings of up to 80% with PROFIenergy. Coordinated switching also ensures a high degree of plant reliability.

  • Up to 80% energy savings with PROFIenergy during idle time
  • Shuts off individual loads or entire production units when they are not required
  • Coordinated switching provides a high degree of plant reliability

Reliable Data Storage

Siemens Comfort Panels automatically back-up your data and can quickly restore functionality in case of device damage. The system is equipped with full protection against voltage failure; the recipes and the archives in RDB format on SIMATIC HMI plug-in memory cards ensures the retention of process-relevant data in case of power failures.

  • Automatic back-ups and quick restores
  • Full protection against data loss due to power failures
  • Supports plant certification in accordance with FDA guidelines
  • No additional uninterruptible power supply required

Precise Diagnostics

Siemens Comfort Panels make precision diagnostics easy. There is no additional diagnostic hardware required. When connected to SIMATIC Controllers, the Comfort Panel display diagnostic information directly. This allows users to find faults more quickly, thereby reducing downtime.

  • Find faults faster and reduce downtime
  • Read diagnostic information directly on the Comfort Panel when connected to SIMATIC Controllers
  • No additional diagnostic hardware required

Complete Integrations

Siemens Comfort Panels offer exceptional usability and functionality in part through integrations with superior technology, including the TIA Portal. A host of other integrations provide wide versatility and allow the SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels to fit easily into your existing systems. The Comfort Panels integrate with PROFIBUS and PROFINET standard interfaces, audio in/audio out interfaces for sound files, and many external devices including printers, USB flash drives, mice, keyboards and more.

  • PROFIBUS and PROFINET standard interfaces
  • Audio in/audio out interfaces with media player for sound files
  • External connections to printers, USB flash drives, mice, keyboards and more

Rugged Design

Many industrial environments can be dangerous to complex electronics, making it difficult to secure high-performance computing power. Siemens Comfort Panels are capable of withstanding tough situations. The easy back-up and recovery systems, aluminum fronts for sizes 7” or larger, optional enclosure against dust and splashwater (IP65 protection), tactile keyboard, and LED lighting makes the system easy to use even when dust, debris, and moisture are present. The system is even certified according to ATEX for EX zones 2 and 22.

  • Keyboard equipped with tactile feedback for use with gloves
  • LED lighting and wide viewing area allows for superior readability, even in difficult conditions
  • Optional enclosure with IP65-level protection against dust and splashwater
  • Aluminum or stainless steel fronts according to industry and application
  • Certified according to ATEX for Ex zones 2 and 22 for use in hazardous areas
  • Marine approval due to dimmable LED backlight
