Siemens - Siemens Simatic HMI Touch Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Integrating human-machine interface control within automated production lines.
• Controlling and monitoring material flow on conveyor systems in manufacturing.
• Providing real-time operational data and diagnostics for industrial processes.
• Enabling operator interaction for setting parameters and troubleshooting on conveying equipment.

Typical Specifications

Typical HMI screen size

Commonly ranges from 7 to 15 inches for industrial applications, offering clear visual feedback.

Power supply for HMI

Typically 24V DC, standard for industrial control systems, requiring a suitable power supply unit.

Conveyor belt width

For this class of equipment, widths commonly vary from 200mm to 800mm, depending on the material being transported.

Conveyor speed

Typically adjustable, ranging from 0.1 m/s to 1.5 m/s, controlled via the integrated HMI and associated drives.

Materials of construction

Commonly stainless steel or anodised aluminium for the conveyor frame, with various belt materials like PVC, PU, or modular plastic.

Operating environment

Designed for industrial environments, typically rated for temperatures between 0°C and 45°C, with appropriate IP ratings for dust and moisture protection.
