Description 

The Multi Panel MP 177 represents the entry into the class of multifunctional platforms. Based on Windows CE it combines the ruggedness of operator panels with the flexibility of PCs

Benefits

• Especially space-saving and low-priced solution in the form of a complete system with Software PLC
• Innovative HMI concepts thanks to Smart options
• Increased flexibility thanks to standard hardware and software interfaces

Range of application

Multi Panel for HMI and other tasks of limited to medium complexity; for the use in PROFIBUS DP networks; particularly suitable for cramped space conditions directly at the machine.

For HMI tasks in the higher performance range, the 270 series offers touch- and operator panels – each with either an 8” or 10” display.

The Windows CE-based devices feature 6 MB of application memory and high-contrast TFT displays with VGA resolution
Commensurate with the more demanding application profile, the devices offer a wide range of interfaces, the option of using scripts and archives, and generally larger quantity structures.

A non-volatile alarm buffer and 16 online-switchable languages are other attributes of this performance class. All MP 277 device variants can be used as the platform fort the Software PLC WinAC MP. The functionality of the Software PLC SIMATIC WinAC MP 277 corresponds to a CPU 315 of the S7-300 system.

As complete solution comprised of Multi Panel and WinAC MP option, the system also lends itself as a replacement for the larger SIMATIC C7 control systems.
