Product description

With a front housing size of 98 × 155 mm and an overall depth of 49 mm, the Siemens 6AV3688-3AF37-0AX0 is a compact SIMATIC HMI KP8F PN Key Panel. A 67.7 × 129.7 mm cutout is specified for front installation; the mounting plate may be 2 to 6 mm thick. The unit weighs 280 g and is installed in portrait or landscape orientation with mounting clips. Without external ventilation, an inclination of up to 30° forward or backward is specified. The operating side has 8 freely labelable short-stroke or function keys. 8 brightness-adjustable direct LEDs provide 5 colour modes in red, green, blue, yellow and white. The keys are handled as S7 input peripherals, while the LEDs are handled as S7 output peripherals. A maximum total of 8 digital inputs and outputs is available for standard signals. In addition, 2 safe digital inputs are provided for one two-channel SIL-3 evaluation or two single-channel SIL-2 evaluations. 2 Industrial Ethernet interfaces with an integrated switch form the network side. PROFINET, IRT, PROFIsafe and media redundancy via MRP are specified communication functions. The supply is 24 V DC, with a permissible range of 20.4 to 28.8 V DC and a rated current consumption of 0.3 A. Voltage can be looped through via the connector. The Key Panel reaches IP65 at the front and IP20 at the rear. The permissible operating temperature range is 0 to 55 °C, and relative humidity may reach 95 % without condensation. Parameterization is specified from STEP 7 V5.5; STEP 7 Basic and Professional in the TIA Portal are listed configuration paths.
