Simatic HMI Unified Comfort

2020: Presentation of the operator Simatic HMI Unified Comfort panels

On April 14, 2020 the Siemens company announced the beginning of deliveries of a series of the operator SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort panels which log in WinCC Unified and allow to bring visualization of production processes to essentially other level. In solutions modern technologies which will help to accelerate digitalization of mechanical engineering and construction are used and also simplify management of industrial enterprises and service maintenance of the equipment.

Thanks to modern h86-compatible processors performance of SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort in comparison with panels of the previous generation increased approximately twice. As a result also the quantity of the supported objects, information on which is displayed high resolution with the diagonal from 7 to 22 inches, almost twice increased. The convenience and speed of work is also provided at the expense of the SIMATIC Industrial OS operating system.

The solution is equipped with projective and capacity sensors which support the mode the multi-touch, the user gestures and work in gloves up to 1 mm thick that is important in the conditions of industrial enterprise where wearing overalls and individual protection equipment are often ordered. Both the high chemical and abrasive resistance became serious advantage – it is reached thanks to mineral glass of which the front panel is made. It protects the device from damages that plays an important role when using in production workshops.

The HMI Unified Comfort panels have wide functionality on integration with other systems of the enterprise and also nearby preset applications (PDF the components Libre Office, Viewer Media Player). If necessary developers can use both internal scenarios based on language JavaScript, and the external applications using SIMATIC Industrial Edge.

All versions of panels are available as in corporate design of Siemens (a gray fringing, a logo on a front panel), and in neutral design (a black front panel and a fringing) to deliveries in an OEM format. It expands opportunities for implementing solution which accelerates digital transformation of production.
