1.1 Product Overview
Application scenarios of the HMI device
The HMI device shows you operating states of a plant. You can actively control a running
production process based on this information.
The HMI device is designed for mounting in control panels, and replaces keys and LEDs that
are individually mounted. The HMI device is connected via PROFINET to a SIMATIC
controller.
The HMI device is parameterized for immediate use. In comparison to conventional wiring,
substantially less time is needed for commissioning and the device provides increased
security against failure during runtime.
The KP8 and the KP8F are intended for installation in the following extension units:
● Extension Unit 15", Order number 6AV7674-0KG00-0AA0
● Extension Unit 19" left, order number 6AV7674-0KH00-0AA0
● Extension Unit 19" right, order number 6AV7674-0KJ00-0AA0
Fail-safe operation with KP8F and KP32F
Thanks to the integrated PROFIsafe communication, the HMI device can be used in fail-safe
mode for simple sensor applications. In regards to the safety-relevant signals, safety
categories SIL3, Performance Level e and category 4 are reached.
1.2 Scope of delivery
The scope of delivery includes:
