SIMATIC HMI TP1500 Comfort PRO 15-inch Support Arm Panel PROFINET and PROFIBUS (6AV2124-0QC24-0AX0) CAN Electric — Industrial Automation Parts Supplier

Built to stand where the operator works

A door-mounted panel ties the HMI to the cabinet: the screen sits at whatever height the enclosure allows, and every change of layout means cutting a new door. A support-arm panel breaks that link. The housing is sealed on both faces and carries NEMA 4 / 4X at the front, so it can live on the machine itself — in splash zones, next to a washdown station, or on a frame the operator walks past all shift. The arm, flange and cable route become part of the machine design; the arm itself is a separate item, and we confirm the matching flange or adapter with the order.

The display is not the one used in the TP1500 Comfort

Both panels are sold as 15-inch, but they are different modules. The door-mounted TP1500 Comfort (6AV2124-0QC02-0AX1) uses a 15.4-inch panel at 1280 × 800; this PRO device uses a 15.6-inch panel at 1366 × 768, with a shorter backlight rating. In TIA Portal they are two separate device types. The practical consequence is simple: an existing TP1500 Comfort project does not load onto this panel as it stands — it has to be opened in WinCC Comfort V14 SP1 or later, switched to the PRO device type, and re-fitted to the new pixel grid. Budget that rework before quoting a “drop-in” replacement.

Fixed housing — the one decision this order number makes for you

This variant cannot take extension units: no bolt-on keypad, no handwheel, no additional operator components beside the screen. If the machine needs physical controls outside the touch area, choose the round-pipe arm version or the pedestal version instead — the panel itself, its project and its wiring stay the same, only the mechanics change. That is why the mounting decision belongs at the concept stage, not after the HMI project has been drawn.

Data per the Siemens product documentation. Confirm flange, adapter and supply against the current data sheet before ordering mechanical parts.

Same screen class, different module and different device type — which is why a project written for one of them needs adaptation, not just a new order number, before it runs on the other.

Pick on mechanics alone: the project, wiring and screen layout carry over unchanged. The 12-inch equivalent is documented on the TP1200 Comfort PRO (6AV2124-0MC24-0AX0) page.

The panel couples to SIMATIC S7-1200, S7-1500 and S7-300/400 over PROFINET, MPI or PROFIBUS DP; Modbus TCP/IP and EtherNet/IP cover third-party controllers. Because it hangs on an arm rather than sitting in a door, the mechanical work moves to the machine side — plan the arm, the flange interface and the cable route with the machine builder, and check that the chosen tilt keeps the installation inside its temperature window.

Typical uses

• Machines with a remote cabinet, where the operator station must be at the point of use.
• Lines where operators walk the machine and a door-mounted screen would sit at the wrong height.
• Replacement of an existing TP1500 Comfort PRO where the same non-expandable arm mounting must be kept.

How to order

• Email sales@can-electric.com with the order number, the delivery country and the support arm you intend to use.
• State the condition you need — new, new-surplus or refurbished is written on the quote, not implied.
