Siemens SIMATIC HMI TP700 Comfort for Compact Machine & Process Visualization

The Siemens SIMATIC HMI TP700 Comfort is a 7-inch industrial touchscreen operator panel designed for machine operation, process visualization, alarm management and production monitoring.

As part of the Siemens Comfort Panel family, the TP700 Comfort combines a 7-inch widescreen TFT display, touch operation, industrial communication interfaces and Siemens HMI engineering capabilities in a compact panel format.

The documented 6AV2124-0GC01-0AX0 model provides an 800 × 480 display, 16.7 million colors, PROFINET, MPI/PROFIBUS DP, 12 MB configuration memory and Windows CE 6.0. Siemens currently lists this article as an active product.

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 TP700 Comfort?

The TP700 Comfort is a touch-operated industrial HMI from the Siemens SIMATIC Comfort Panel range.

It provides a visual interface between operators and automation equipment, allowing users to monitor machine conditions, view process information and interact with connected PLC-controlled systems.

Typical operator functions include:

• Machine start and stop

• Process-value monitoring

• Alarm acknowledgement

• Parameter adjustment

• Machine-status visualization

• Diagnostic information

• Production monitoring

• Recipe handling

• Operator guidance

Its compact 7-inch format makes it suitable when the machine requires more visualization capability than a basic HMI while keeping the control panel relatively compact.

7-Inch Widescreen Touch Display

The TP700 Comfort features a 7-inch widescreen TFT display with:

• 800 × 480 pixel resolution

• 16,777,216 colors

• Analog-resistive touch operation

• Dimmable LED backlight

• 152.4 mm display width

• 91.4 mm display height

Siemens specifies the 7-inch display and 800 × 480 resolution for the TP700 Comfort.

The display provides enough working area for common machine screens containing:

• Process values

• Status indicators

• Alarm messages

• Control buttons

• Setpoints

• Trends

• Diagnostic information

Touchscreen Operation for Machine Control

Unlike the KP700 Comfort, which uses physical keys, the TP700 Comfort is designed around touchscreen operation.

Operators can interact directly with configured screen elements such as:

• Start/stop buttons

• Navigation controls

• Numeric input fields

• Selection menus

• Alarm acknowledgement buttons

• Machine mode controls

• Parameter fields

The analog-resistive touchscreen technology allows operators to interact with the HMI through direct touch input.

This makes the TP700 Comfort suitable for machine interfaces where flexible screen-based operation is more important than dedicated physical function keys.

PROFINET & MPI/PROFIBUS DP Connectivity

The TP700 Comfort provides interfaces for integration into Siemens industrial automation architectures.

PROFINET

The PROFINET interface enables Ethernet-based communication with compatible Siemens PLCs and industrial automation devices.

MPI / PROFIBUS DP

The panel also includes an MPI/PROFIBUS DP interface, making it suitable for existing Siemens automation installations and modernization projects.

Siemens specifically lists PROFINET and MPI/PROFIBUS DP interfaces for the TP700 Comfort 6AV2124-0GC01-0AX0.

Siemens PLC-HMI Integration

The TP700 Comfort can function as the operator interface for Siemens PLC-based automation systems.

A typical setup can be:

SIMATIC PLC

↓

PROFINET / PROFIBUS / MPI

↓

TP700 Comfort HMI

↓

Machine Operator

The HMI can visualize and interact with:

• PLC process values

• Machine states

• Alarm conditions

• Production counters

• Setpoints

• Equipment status

• Diagnostic information

The exact communication configuration depends on the PLC, HMI model and engineering project.

WinCC Comfort Engineering

The TP700 Comfort is configured using Siemens WinCC Comfort engineering software.

For the documented 6AV2124-0GC01-0AX0 model, Siemens specifies configuration from WinCC Comfort V11.

Typical projects can include:

• Graphic machine screens

• Alarm management

• Trend visualization

• Recipe handling

• User administration

• Parameter pages

• Diagnostic screens

• Production monitoring

• Operator guidance

For retrofit projects, the existing HMI project and engineering software version should be checked before replacing the panel.

12 MB Configuration Memory

The TP700 Comfort provides 12 MB configuration memory.

This gives the HMI capacity for machine visualization projects containing multiple screens, alarms, process information and operator functions.

Actual project requirements depend on the amount of graphics, alarms, recipes and historical data configured in the application.

Flexible Screen Orientation

Siemens documentation specifies that the TP700 Comfort supports both landscape and portrait mounting.

This provides additional flexibility when integrating the HMI into different machine-panel layouts.

For portrait applications, the HMI project should be designed appropriately during engineering.

TP700 Comfort vs KP700 Comfort

The two models share the same 7-inch Comfort Panel class but have different operator interfaces.

Feature TP700 Comfort KP700 Comfort

Operation Touch Physical keys

Display 7' 7'

Resolution 800 × 480 800 × 480

Main Interface Touchscreen Function keys

Product Family Comfort Panel Comfort Panel

Choose TP700 Comfort when touchscreen interaction is preferred. Choose KP700 Comfort when physical keys are more suitable for the machine environment.

TP700 Comfort vs Basic HMI

The TP700 Comfort belongs to Siemens' Advanced HMI / Comfort Panel family rather than the Basic Panel range.

This makes it appropriate when a project requires a more advanced operator interface, industrial connectivity and Comfort Panel functionality.

Siemens categorizes Comfort Panels separately from Basic HMI products in its current HMI portfolio.
