Siemens SIMATIC HMI TP1500 Comfort

Siemens SIMATIC HMI TP1500 Comfort for Large Machine & Process Visualization

The Siemens SIMATIC HMI TP1500 Comfort is a large-format industrial touchscreen operator panel designed for machine operation, process visualization, alarm management and production monitoring.

With a 15.4-inch widescreen TFT display, touchscreen operation, PROFINET and MPI/PROFIBUS DP interfaces, the TP1500 Comfort is suited to applications where operators need a large and detailed visualization area.

The Siemens TP1500 Comfort family includes different hardware generations. The earlier 6AV2124-0QC02-0AX0 is now listed as cancelled/spare part, with 6AV2124-0QC02-0AX1 identified as its successor. A later 6AV2124-0QC02-0AX2 version is also documented with WEC 2013, 24 MB configuration memory and WinCC Comfort V14 SP1 with HSP.

We Tech Power Solutions Ltd supplies Siemens SIMATIC HMI products for OEMs, machine builders, system integrators and industrial automation projects across Ahmedabad, Gujarat and India.

What Is Siemens TP1500 Comfort?

The TP1500 Comfort belongs to the Siemens SIMATIC Comfort Panel family and provides a touchscreen interface between operators and industrial automation equipment.

It can be used to visualize and control configured machine functions such as:

• Machine operating status

• Process values

• Alarms and events

• Production information

• Machine parameters

• Diagnostic information

• Recipes

• Operator commands

• Maintenance functions

Its large display makes it particularly useful for machines where several process values, controls and status indicators need to be visible on the same screen.

15.4-Inch Widescreen Display

The TP1500 Comfort uses a 15.4-inch widescreen TFT display.

The documented current-generation 0AX2 reference provides:

• Screen size: 15.4 inches

• Resolution: 1280 × 800 pixels

• Colors: 16.7 million

• Display type: TFT

• Touch operation: Yes

• Configuration memory: 24 MB

Siemens' current 6AV2124-0QC02-0AX2 datasheet confirms the 15.4-inch display, 1280 × 800 resolution and 24 MB configuration memory.

The large display area allows operators to work with detailed screens containing:

• Machine graphics

• Process values

• Alarm lists

• Trend information

• Setpoints

• Production counters

• Status indicators

• Diagnostic information

Touchscreen Operation

The TP1500 Comfort is designed for touch-based operator control.

Screen objects can be configured for functions such as:

• Start/stop commands

• Machine-mode selection

• Parameter entry

• Alarm acknowledgement

• Screen navigation

• Recipe selection

• Manual operation

• Maintenance controls

This provides a flexible operator interface where the available controls can change according to the selected machine mode or process screen.

PROFINET & MPI/PROFIBUS DP

The TP1500 Comfort family supports industrial communication interfaces used in Siemens automation architectures.

PROFINET

PROFINET provides Ethernet-based communication between the HMI and compatible PLCs and industrial devices.

MPI / PROFIBUS DP

The panel also supports MPI/PROFIBUS DP on the documented Comfort Panel configurations, making the product relevant to existing Siemens installations and modernization projects.

Siemens specifies PROFINET and MPI/PROFIBUS DP for the TP1500 Comfort.

Siemens PLC-HMI Integration

A typical Siemens automation architecture can connect the TP1500 Comfort with a PLC through the appropriate communication network.

Machine Operator

The HMI can be configured to display:

• PLC process values

• Machine status

• Alarm conditions

• Production information

• Setpoints

• Equipment status

• Diagnostic data

• Operating modes

The actual communication setup depends on the PLC model, HMI generation and project configuration.

WinCC Comfort Engineering

The engineering software depends on the exact TP1500 Comfort generation.

For the earlier 6AV2124-0QC02-0AX0, Siemens specifies configuration from WinCC Comfort V11 SP2.

The successor 6AV2124-0QC02-0AX1 is documented for configuration from WinCC Comfort V14 SP1, while the later 0AX2 version is also documented with WinCC Comfort V14 SP1 with the appropriate HSP.

Therefore, for replacement projects, the exact HMI article number and existing WinCC/TIA Portal environment should be checked before ordering.

24 MB Configuration Memory

The newer documented TP1500 Comfort 0AX2 provides 24 MB configuration memory. Siemens also specifies 24 MB for the 0AX0/0AX1 generation.

This capacity supports HMI projects containing multiple visualization screens, alarms, process graphics and operator functions.

Actual project requirements depend on the number of screens, graphics, alarms, recipes and historical information.

Large HMI for Detailed Visualization

The TP1500 Comfort is designed for applications where a larger operator interface is beneficial.

A 15.4-inch screen can allow several information areas to be presented together, for example:

Machine Overview + Production Data + Alarms + Process Values

This can reduce unnecessary screen navigation and provide operators with a clearer overview of complex equipment.

It is particularly useful for machines with:

• Multiple operating modes

• Several process parameters

• Large alarm lists

• Detailed diagnostic screens

• Complex production sequences

• Multiple machine sections

TP1500 Comfort vs TP1500 Comfort PRO

These products should not be treated as identical.

The standard TP1500 Comfort is a panel-mounted Comfort HMI, while TP1500 Comfort PRO belongs to the separate PRO product range with different mounting and hardware characteristics.

For a replacement or new machine project, confirm the complete Siemens article number rather than selecting only by the “TP1500 Comfort” name.

Before Ordering Siemens TP1500 Comfort

1. Confirm the Complete Article Number

Do not order only by “TP1500 Comfort.”

Verify whether the requirement is:

• 6AV2124-0QC02-0AX0

• 6AV2124-0QC02-0AX1

• 6AV2124-0QC02-0AX2

• Another TP1500 variant

2. Check Product Lifecycle

The older 0AX0 is cancelled/spare-part only, while Siemens also marks 0AX2 as being in product phase-out.

For a new machine, evaluate Siemens' current-generation HMI alternatives before finalizing the design.

3. Check Engineering Software

Confirm the existing WinCC/TIA Portal version and project compatibility.

4. Check PLC Communication

Verify:

• PROFINET

• MPI

• PROFIBUS DP

5. Check Panel Cutout

Confirm the cabinet opening and mounting dimensions before replacement.

6. Check Power Supply

Verify the required 24 V DC supply and installation conditions.

7. Check Existing HMI Project

For retrofit applications, determine whether project conversion or software changes are required.
