Operator Control and Monitoring DevicesMobile panels - 170 seriesSIMATIC Mobile Panel 1772■ Overview• Mobile operator panel for direct operator control of the plantand machine from any point• Supports optimized monitoring of the workpiece or processproviding at the same time direct access and direct line of sightto the operator panel• Flexible implementation thanks to hot swapping• Pixel graphics, brilliant 5.7" color STN display with touchscreen (analog/resistive), 256 colors• PROFIBUS or PROFINET variants• 14 user-configurable and user-inscribable function keys(8 with LED)• Two three-stage enabling buttons;Optional versions include:- STOP pushbutton- STOP pushbutton, handwheel, key-operated switch andilluminated pushbutton• Communication is supported via a serial link, MPI/PROFIBUSor PROFINET• Connection point recognition• Fast system availability after plugging into the junction box• Connected to the PLC and power supply via the junction boxand the connecting cable■ Benefits• Plugging and unplugging during operation without interruptingthe Emergency-Stop circuit (with “Plus“ junction box variants)and without generating bus errors• Fast, precise setup and positioning• Reliable operation with tried and tested safety concept(Safety Category 3 acc. to EN 954-1)• Ergonomic and compact with low weight (approx. 1.3 kg)• Rugged for industrial use• Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):increases productivity, minimizes the engineering outlay,reduces the lifecycle costs• Graphics library available with pre-configured images• The data in the message buffer are retained when the MobilePanel is unplugged, without batteries• Worldwide implementation:- 32 languages can be configured (incl. Asian and Cyrillicfonts)- Switching between up to 5 online languages is possibledirectly on the Mobile Panel• Reduction of service and commissioning costs through:- Backup/restore over a process interface or optionally over astandard MMC (Multi Media Card).- Configuration transfer with automatic transfer recognitionover all device interfaces- Long service life of backlighting• Simple engineering supported with comprehensive documentationon the SIMATIC HMI Manual Collection CD■ ApplicationIn every sector or application, when mobility is paramount inthe operation and monitoring of machines and plants on site,SIMATIC Mobile Panels offer decisive advantages: Machineoperators or start-up engineers can move to the point from whichthey have the best view of the workpiece or process. Even inlarge production plants, complex or enclosed machines, longconveyor and production lines and in materials handling, mobileoperator panels support quick and accurate setting up andpositioning during start-up. During retrofitting, maintenance ortroubleshooting, they ensure shorter downtimes.2/34Siemens ST 80 · 2006
