1. よくある選択の落とし穴 & 注意事項
2. No SD card slot, long-term mass data archiving is unavailable. Data can only be exported temporarily via USB; maximum limit for alarms/data logs is 10,000 entries.
3. Resistive touch screen, supports glove operation; multi-touch is not available.
4. Projects programmed for Comfort Panels cannot run directly; projects need recompilation for Basic Panels.
5. Vertical portrait installation is not officially supported; landscape installation recommended only.

Application Scenarios of 6AV2123-2MB03-0AX0 (KTP1200 Basic PN)

製品のポジショニング: 12-inch basic HMI, 抵抗膜タッチ + physical function keys, PROFINET Ethernet, basic monitoring & 手術, 費用対効果の高い. Limited functionality, no SD card slot.

対応PLC: S7-1200, S7-1500, ET200SP; Modbus TCP enables connection to third-party controllers.

1. Main Mature Industry Applications
2. 包装機械 (Largest Application Volume)

縦型・横型包装機, flow wrappers, sleeve labeling machines, bag-making machines

Case packers, auxiliary palletizing equipment, case sealers, stretch wrapping machines

利点: Physical keys facilitate frequent start/stop operations by operators; 12-inch large screen displays speed, counting values and fault codes intuitively; PROFINET enables fast linkage with S7-1200.

⚠️ Limitation: Not recommended for scenarios requiring continuous long-term production data archiving (no SD card, only temporary USB export available).

2. Plastic Injection & Extrusion Industry

Auxiliary injection equipment: mold temperature controllers, チラー, グラインダー, material loaders

Small extruders, pelletizing equipment, pipe haul-off machines

Application characteristics: Cabinet installation under normal workshop temperature & 湿度; no complex scripts required; meets demands for temperature monitoring, parameter setting and fault alarm viewing.

3. 水処理 & Environmental Protection Equipment

Small integrated wastewater treatment equipment, water reuse systems

Reverse osmosis RO pure water equipment, constant pressure water supply control cabinets, rainwater collection systems

Small waste gas treatment control cabinets (activated carbon adsorption, simple spray towers)

特徴: Multiple analog value monitoring (プレッシャー, liquid level, pH, 流量); supports Modbus TCP connection for transmitters and meters.

4. 空調設備 & Air Purification Systems

Air handling units, cleanroom air conditioners, constant temperature & humidity control cabinets

Fan variable frequency control cabinets, waste heat recovery units, fresh air systems

Suitable for building auxiliary equipment and small control systems in factory clean workshops.

5. 食品加工機械 (Non-corrosive Environment)

Small dough mixers, baking equipment, cleaning lines, sorting equipment

✅ Suitable: Dry ordinary production workshops

❌ Use with caution under high humidity, continuous steam, strong acid/alkali cleaning environments (cabinet moisture-proof reinforcement required)

6. マテリアルハンドリング & Conveying Automation (小さい & Medium Production Lines)

ベルトコンベア, ローラー選別ライン, エレベーター, small transfer machines

Auxiliary conveying equipment for automated warehouses, small express sorting branch lines

Suitable for independent stand-alone control; no demand for complex recipe management and massive historical curve storage.

7. Control Cabinets for Stationary Construction Machinery

Auxiliary control cabinets of stationary concrete batching plants, gravel screening equipment

Small air compressors, nitrogen generators, industrial chiller control cabinets

❌ Not applicable for mobile construction machinery (激しい振動; mobile dedicated HMI is preferred).

PV panel cleaning equipment, 温度制御 & fire protection cabinets inside energy storage containers

Mostly deployed in fixed factory-mounted complete sets of equipment.

1. Working Conditions Suitable for Selection (選択基準)

✅ Recommended Conditions:

1. The controller is Siemens S7-1200/1500 and PROFINET bus communication is required
2. Large 12-inch display needed; operators prefer dual operation via physical keys and touch
3. Only basic functions required: パラメータ設定, equipment start/stop, status display, fault alarms and simple recipes
4. Uninterrupted long-term data archiving is not required; regular manual USB data export is acceptable
5. Installed inside control cabinet; ambient temperature 0~50°C, no continuous condensation, strong corrosion or violent vibration

❌ Not Recommended Scenarios (Selection Warnings)

1. Continuous long-term historical data archiving and long-period curve recording (no SD card slot)
2. HMI built-in web server, OPC UA or complex VBS scripts required (not supported by Basic Panels)
3. High humidity, heavy steam or strong acid/alkali corrosive environments (no enhanced anti-corrosion treatment)
4. Capacitive multi-touch required (this unit uses resistive touch)
5. Legacy systems adopting PROFIBUS DP bus (select DP version 6AV2123-2MA03-0AX0; direct replacement impossible)
6. Vertical portrait mounting (officially only landscape installation allowed)
7. Central monitoring for large production lines (upgrade to Comfort TP1200 recommended)

Ⅲ. Typical Control Configuration Examples

1. KTP1200 Basic PN + S7-1214C + G120C Inverter → Packaging conveyor line control
2. KTP1200 Basic PN + S7-1215C + Modbus instruments → Integrated water treatment equipment
3. KTP1200 Basic PN + S7-1511C + ET200SP → Automated conveying and sorting stand-alone machine

Configuration Software for 6AV2123-2MB03-0AX0 (KTP1200 Basic PN)

Official software name: TIAポータル, no standalone program. HMI screen configuration is completed via the built-in WinCC module inside TIA Portal.

1. Supported Software Versions
2. Minimum requirement: TIA Portal V13 SP1 (V13 without SP1 cannot recognize this panel)
3. Compatible versions: V13 SP1, V14, V15, V15.1, V16, V17, V18, V19 (latest release)
4. Valid configuration modules (any one is acceptable)

WinCC Basic (minimum authorization, cost-effective for independent HMI projects)

WinCC Comfort / 高度な / Professional

STEP7 Basic / Professional (integrated with WinCC Basic for combined PLC & HMI programming)

1. Critical Restrictions (Frequent Pitfalls)

❌ Classic WinCC flexible (all versions) is NOT supported

WinCC flexible only configures the first-generation Basic Panels and MP series panels; 2nd-generation Basic Panels starting with 6AV2123 are fully incompatible. Do not attempt configuration.

❌ WinCC V7/V8 (PC-based SCADA software) is irrelevant to touch panel configuration.

Ⅲ. ダウンロード方法

Two available download channels:

1. イーサネット (RJ45 PROFINET) (Primary method)
2. Front USB port + USBフラッシュドライブ (Backup method for on-site commissioning without network cable)
3. Standard Description for Tender Documents (Direct Copy)

HMI model 6AV2123-2MB03-0AX0 is configured with Siemens TIA Portal Totally Integrated Automation software. Minimum version V13 SP1. Compatible with WinCC Basic/Comfort/Advanced/Professional modules. WinCC flexible is not supported.

1. Practical Selection Advice

HMI configuration only: Install TIA Portal + WinCC Basic

Combined PLC & HMI development (S7-1200/1500): Install STEP7 Basic + WinCC Basi
