Customized productsCustomized product modificationsHMI operator stations6■ Benefits■ DesignHigh industrial capability thanks to an all-round rugged, tried The HMI operator station concept is based on a modular designand tested design:where HMI devices can be installed function-oriented in selectedhousings.• Ergonomic, technically proven and certified solutions ready foroperation• HMI device encapsulation for all-round protection (IP65)• Safe operation even under difficult environmental conditions • Can be mounted on a supporting foot, 500 mm support arm or• Temperature-tested and temperature-monitored750 mm support arm• Suitable even for special industries, e.g., stainless steel versionsfor the food, beverages and tobacco industries• Possible connection of external keypad and mouse• Rotation possible using adjusting elements• For high availability and a safe return on your investment • Installation options for specific hardware components• Siemens quality support, service and repairOperator stations for SIMATIC PanelsThe following issues were considered when developing the HMIoperator stations:• Optimal HMI product installation technology to eliminate thermalhotspots and heat pockets in the housing• Calculation of actual maximum permissible ambient temperatureof the entire operator station in continuous duty at locationof use Data takes into account device heat dissipation values• Ensuring the adherence to the load limits for rotary mass storagesystems and large displays verified by shock and vibrationtests on the entire operator station during operation• Adherence to legal regulations (certifications)• Determination and testing of required degrees of protectionand EMC measures• Assurance of surface quality along with its abrasion and chemicalresistance• To the greatest possible extent, passive technology providesthe basis for all measures to improve the suitability of use of theoperator stations in specific environments (e.g., no active airconditioning). The aim is to ensure durability and fault-free operationwith minimum maintenance.■ ApplicationComplete HMI operator stations can be used wherever HMI devicescannot be installed in a control cabinet or directly at themachine. Operator stations are suitable for:• Industrial application• Near-industrial application• Use in secondary applications in food, beverage and tobaccoproduction• Stainless steel versions for the food, beverages and tobaccoindustriesVersions for SIMATIC Multi Panel, Operator Panel, Touch Paneland Flat Panel:• Compact design thanks to to low mounting depth• Many installation options thanks to low weight• Maximum housing depth of 99 mm• Version 1:Pure enclosure• Version 2:Enclosure with single-row operator panel• Version 3:Enclosure with double-row operator panelAll versions are designed for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C.Operator stations for SIMATIC Panel PCsVersions for SIMATIC Panel PCs (PC477 OEM, PC677/877)• Rugged, can be used in harsh industrial environments• Maximum housing depth of 180 mm• Version 1:Pure enclosure• Version 2:Enclosure with single-row operator panel• Version 3:Enclosure with double-row operator panel• Version 4:Enclosure with double-row operator panel and keypad drawerAmbient temperature of operator stationThe ambient temperature is always lower than the max. permissibleambient temperature of the HMI products (temperature valuesin Manual) installed in the operator station housing. Dependingon the components and version (e.g., according to heatdissipation), permissible ambient temperatures around the operatorstation will vary between 34 °C up to 40 °C.Higher operator station ambient temperatures can be achievedby applying additional cooling measures.■ Function• Fatigue-free, fast operation• Operator station can be quickly adapted to different operators• Coherent, easy-to-learn operator philosophy• Rugged against shocks and vibrations in operation• Suitable device selection (SIMATIC HMI devices from 10“ display)• Ensuring the data transfer and access to drives and interfaces• Direct operation of the machine (conventional operator elementsfor direct connection to machine units)• Simple alphanumeric input• Cleaning agents taken into account6/32Siemens ST 80 · 2006
