SIEMENS SIMATIC KTP 900 COMFORT

Siemens SIMATIC HMI KP900 Comfort

Siemens SIMATIC HMI KP900 Comfort for Advanced Machine & Process Visualization

The Siemens SIMATIC HMI KP900 Comfort is a 9-inch industrial operator panel designed for machine operation, process visualization, alarm handling and production monitoring. It combines a widescreen TFT display with dedicated operator keys, making it suitable for applications where reliable physical key operation is preferred.

The KP900 Comfort provides PROFINET and MPI/PROFIBUS DP interfaces, 12 MB configuration memory and Siemens WinCC Comfort engineering support. The documented model 6AV2124-1JC01-0AX0 features a 9-inch widescreen TFT display with 16 million colors.

We Tech Power Solutions Ltd supplies Siemens SIMATIC HMI products for OEM machines, industrial automation systems, production lines and process applications across Ahmedabad, Gujarat and India.

What Makes the KP900 Comfort Different?

The KP900 Comfort is designed around key-based operator control rather than touchscreen operation.

This makes it useful for machine environments where operators regularly need to:

• Start and stop machine functions

• Navigate operator screens

• Acknowledge alarms

• Enter machine commands

• Monitor process values

• Check production status

• Access diagnostic information

The KP900 Comfort has 26 programmable function keys with LEDs, providing direct access to frequently used machine functions.

9-Inch Display for Clear Machine Visualization

The KP900 Comfort uses a 9-inch widescreen TFT display with:

• 800 × 480 pixel resolution

• 16,777,216 colors

• LED backlighting

• Widescreen format

This provides sufficient display space for process values, alarm information, machine status, trends and operator graphics while maintaining a practical panel size.

Key-Based Operator Control

One of the main advantages of the KP900 Comfort is its physical-key interface.

The panel provides 26 LED function keys, allowing operators to assign frequently required machine commands to dedicated buttons.

This can be useful for:

• Machine start/stop commands

• Manual mode operations

• Alarm acknowledgement

• Jog functions

• Screen navigation

• Production controls

• Maintenance functions

For applications where operators prefer tactile feedback, key operation can provide an alternative to touchscreen-only HMI control.

Siemens PLC & Industrial Network Integration

The KP900 Comfort is designed for integration with Siemens automation systems.

The documented KP900 Comfort supports:

PROFINET

Useful for Ethernet-based communication with compatible Siemens controllers and industrial devices.

MPI / PROFIBUS DP

The panel also provides an MPI/PROFIBUS DP interface for compatible legacy and existing Siemens automation architectures.

This makes the KP900 Comfort relevant for both established Siemens installations and machine projects based around the SIMATIC automation ecosystem.

WinCC Comfort Engineering

The KP900 Comfort belongs to the Siemens Comfort Panel family and is configurable using WinCC Comfort.

Siemens documentation identifies the KP900 Comfort as configurable from WinCC Comfort V11.

Typical HMI project functions can include:

• Machine visualization

• Alarm management

• Process-value monitoring

• Trend visualization

• Recipe handling

• User management

• Diagnostic screens

• Operator guidance

• Production information

The exact available functions depend on the HMI project, engineering software version and configured system architecture.

12 MB Configuration Memory

The KP900 Comfort provides 12 MB configuration memory for the HMI project and associated configuration data.

This supports projects involving multiple operator screens, alarm information, process visualization and machine-control interfaces.

KP900 Comfort vs KTP900 Basic

These products are often confused because of their similar 9-inch naming.

Feature KP900 Comfort KTP900 Basic

HMI Family Comfort Panel Basic Panel

Display 9' 9'

Resolution 800 × 480 800 × 480

Operation Keys Key + Touch

Function Keys 26 LED keys Model-specific

PROFINET Yes Yes

MPI/PROFIBUS DP Yes Not the same interface configuration

Engineering WinCC Comfort WinCC Basic

Positioning Advanced HMI Basic HMI

Siemens identifies the KTP900 Basic separately as a Basic Panel, while KP900 Comfort belongs to the Advanced HMI Comfort Panel family.

KP900 Comfort vs TP900 Comfort

The KP900 Comfort and TP900 Comfort share the 9-inch Comfort Panel platform, but their operator interfaces are different.

KP900 Comfort

Key operation with 26 LED function keys

TP900 Comfort

Touch operation

The Siemens Comfort Panel documentation lists both KP900 Comfort and TP900 Comfort as 9-inch models within the Comfort family.

Choose KP900 when physical keys are important for machine operation; choose TP900 when touchscreen interaction is the preferred operator interface.

Before Ordering the KP900 Comfort

For a new installation or replacement project, confirm:

Check the Complete Order Number

Verify whether the requirement is 6AV2124-1JC01-0AX0 or another KP900/Comfort reference.

Check the Communication Network

Confirm whether the existing system uses:

• PROFINET

• MPI

• PROFIBUS DP

Check the HMI Project

Confirm the WinCC version and project compatibility before replacing an existing panel.

Check Panel Dimensions

Verify the existing panel cutout and mounting requirements before selecting a replacement.

Check Power Supply

Confirm the required 24 V DC supply and installation conditions.

Check Lifecycle Status

Comfort Panel references can have different lifecycle conditions, so the exact Siemens article number should be verified before procurement.
