SIMATIC HMI TP1200 Comfort 12-inch Touch Panel 1280×800 PROFINET and PROFIBUS (6AV2124-0MC01-0AX0) CAN Electric — Industrial Automation Parts Supplier

What is 6AV2124-0MC01-0AX0?

It is the SIMATIC HMI TP1200 Comfort 12-inch Touch Panel 1280×800 PROFINET and PROFIBUS — the 12-inch standard device of the SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels, with a 12.1-inch widescreen TFT at 1280 × 800 pixels, analog-resistive touch operation, PROFINET plus MPI/PROFIBUS DP interfaces, 12 MB user memory and Windows CE 6.0, engineered in the TIA Portal with WinCC Comfort V11 or higher.

Is the TP1200 Comfort discontinued?

No. Siemens lists order number 6AV2124-0MC01-0AX0 as PM300 — active product, with no phase-out announced. It is the highest-resolution standard Comfort panel that is still fully active, which is why it is the usual pick for new designs.

How does it differ from the 9-inch and 7-inch Comfort panels?

Mainly resolution and size. The 7-inch TP700 Comfort and 9-inch TP900 Comfort both display 800 × 480; this 12.1-inch panel displays 1280 × 800, about 2.7 times the pixels. Power draw rises to typ. 20 W (0.85 A) and net weight to 3.463 kg, and the cut-out grows to 310 × 221 mm. The architecture — Windows CE 6.0, 12 MB, PROFINET plus MPI/PROFIBUS DP, WinCC Comfort V11+ — is the same across all three.

Is there a version of this panel with function keys?

Yes, as a separate order number: the KP1200 Comfort, 6AV2124-1MC01-0AX0, has the same 12.1-inch screen and the same panel cut-out but adds function and system keys. The two are not interchangeable in software — screen layout and key assignment differ — so choose the type before the HMI project is written.

Is the touch screen capacitive or resistive?

It is an analog-resistive touch screen, which is the standard for Comfort Panels and can be operated with gloves or a touch pen. Projected-capacitive multi-touch belongs to the separate Unified Comfort Panels line, not to this device.

What cut-out does it need?

The front bezel measures 330 × 241 mm and the panel cut-out is 310 × 221 mm. Verify the cut-out, mounting depth and clamp positions against the current Siemens data sheet for your revision before machining the enclosure door.

Does it have PROFINET and PROFIBUS?

Both, as separate built-in interfaces: two RJ45 PROFINET ports with an integrated switch, and one 9-pin Sub-D MPI/PROFIBUS DP interface (RS-422/485). No additional communication module is needed for either network.

Can I load a TP1200 Comfort project onto a Unified Comfort Panel?

Not directly. Comfort Panels are engineered with WinCC Comfort in the TIA Portal; Unified Comfort Panels use WinCC Unified. A project has to be reworked rather than copied across.

Which software do I need to configure it?

The TIA Portal with WinCC Comfort V11 or higher. It is not configured with WinCC Basic (Basic Panels) and not with WinCC Unified Basic (Unified Basic Panels).

What power supply does it need?

24 V DC with a permissible range of 19.2 – 28.8 V DC, rated current 0.85 A and a typical power input of about 20 W.

Which PLCs can it connect to?

Over PROFINET, MPI or PROFIBUS DP it couples to SIMATIC S7-1200, S7-1500 and S7-300/400 controllers. It also supports Modbus TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP for third-party controllers and drives.

Does it support SD cards and USB?

Yes — two SD card slots for archiving, recipes and project storage, two USB 2.0 host ports and one USB Mini-B port for project transfer and peripherals.

Is it suitable for washdown or outdoor use?

The aluminium die-cast front is rated IP65 (NEMA 4 / 4X / 12) and the rear IP20, for installation inside an enclosure at 0 °C to +50 °C. For outdoor, UV-exposed, wide-temperature or hazardous-area installation, the Outdoor Comfort variants are the correct choice rather than this standard device.
