Devices for operator control and monitoring

Siemens has extend­ed its sys­tem fam­i­ly of all-round pro­tect­ed HMI (Human Machine Inter­face) devices for machine-relat­ed, cab­i­net-free visu­al­iza­tion and automa­tion. High-per­for­mance Simat­ic Thin Client PRO oper­a­tor ter­mi­nals with 15, 19 and 22 inch screen sizes and all-round IP65 degree of pro­tec­tion are new to the range. Like all devices in the PRO series, the new Thin Clients can be extend­ed by mount­able com­po­nents (exten­sion units) – such as mount­ing adapter, key­board tray and key­board. New expan­sion options are oper­a­tor con­trols with USB inter­faces and an exten­sion box with adjustable han­dles for easy oper­a­tion of the pan­els on the machine.
The all-round IP66 pro­tect­ed Simat­ic HMI Thin Client Ex OG is the new addi­tion to the series of Ex HMI devices. It can be used in 1/21 and 2/22 zones with­out any spe­cial mea­sures such as elab­o­rate enclo­sures or addi­tion­al cer­ti­fi­ca­tions. The Ex OG HMI devices are spe­cial­ly designed for appli­ca­tions in indus­tries such as chem­i­cals, oil, gas and ship­build­ing, and are suit­able for use in extreme tem­per­a­tures rang­ing from ‑40 C to +65 degrees Celsius.
