The Simatic Multi Panel 177 has a 6-inch TFT display with 64 thousand colours and diverse interfaces ranging from USB and 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet to RS485 and Profibus DP. In addition to operator control and monitoring of machines and plants, the panel is also suitable for other automation tasks, such as device control tasks. The WinAC MP177 version of the Simatic WinAC MP 2008 software PLC is integrated in the Multi Panel and configured in Step7 in the same way as the other Simatic controllers. The new Multi Panel is configured by the Simatic WinCC flexible 2008 SP1 engineering software, from the Compact version onwards. The maintenance-free panel works without a hard disk and fan. Its design is therefore especially suitable for being used close to machinery. The integrated data retentivity system retains the process data even if the power is cut off.
