Siemens 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX0​ SIMATIC HMI TP1900 Comfort – 19″ Touch Panel for Large-Scale Process Visualisation

Product Overview

The Siemens 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX0​ is a SIMATIC HMI TP1900 Comfort – a 19-inch (18.5" diagonal) widescreen touch operator panel belonging to Siemens' second-generation Comfort Panel family, engineered for medium-to-large scale industrial visualisation where screen real estate, connectivity density and long-term reliability matter. Positioned above the TP1200 and TP1500 in the Comfort range, the Siemens 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX0​ delivers a 1366 × 768 pixel TFT display capable of rendering 16.7 million colours, giving engineers the canvas needed to run multi-window process graphics, alarm lists, trend views and diagnostic pages side by side without compromising legibility. The panel runs Windows Embedded Compact 6.0 and is configurable from SIMATIC WinCC Comfort V11 SP2 onwards (V14 SP1+ for the -0AX1 successor), integrating natively into the TIA Portal ecosystem alongside S7-1200, S7-1500, S7-300 and S7-400 controllers. In automation architecture, the Siemens 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX0​ acts as the primary human-machine interface node on the cell or line level, bridging shop-floor operators with PLC/DCS logic through PROFINET IO, MPI and PROFIBUS DP. Its 2-port integrated Ethernet switch plus one independent PROFINET port allow line-topology daisy chaining without external network hardware, while RS422/485, dual USB 2.0 and a service USB mini-B cover auxiliary device connection, printer attachment, barcode scanner integration and firmware/project transfer workflows. With 24 MB configuration memory, 50,000-hour LED backlight MTBF at 25 °C, IP65 front protection and 24 V DC nominal supply, the unit is purpose-built for continuous-duty plant environments ranging from discrete manufacturing to process industries. Although Siemens has designated the -0AX0 as a spare-part-only article (successor: 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX1, then migrated to the 6AV2128 Unified Comfort line), it remains widely specified for existing TIA installations, retrofit projects and long-lifecycle systems where Os compatibility and Comfort Panel toolchain continuity are prioritised over the newer Unified firmware stack.

Main Features and Advantages

Expansive widescreen visualisation: The Siemens 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX0​ provides an 18.5-inch widescreen format that outperforms classic 12″ and 15″ panels when it comes to displaying layered process graphics. Engineers can tile faceplates, alarm tables, recipe editors and trend curves on a single screen, reducing navigation depth and operator response time. The 1366 × 768 resolution paired with 16.7 million colour depth ensures crisp rendering of high-fidelity SIMATIC WinCC Comfort screens, including photographic machine images, gradient-filled bar graphs and anti-aliased vector symbols.

Connectivity density without external switches: One of the standout differentiators of the Siemens 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX0​ is its three-port PROFINET provision — two ports internally switched for line topology plus one independent port. This lets the HMI sit inline between a controller and another PROFINET device (remote IO station, drive, etc.) without consuming cabinet space for an extra unmanaged switch. MPI/PROFIBUS DP legacy support keeps the panel relevant in mixed-generation S7-300/S7-400 retrofits, while RS422/485 opens the door to third-party drives, weigh scales and scanners using Modbus RTU. Two USB 2.0 host ports accept keyboards, mice, printers or USB sticks for backup/restore, and the dedicated USB mini-B service port is reserved for PC-based project download and diagnostics.

Long-life hardware design: The LED backlight is rated for 50,000 hours at 25 °C, translating to multiple years of 24/7 duty even in thermally stressed cabinets. Dimmable 0–100%, the backlight can be throttled at night shifts or low-attention periods to extend service life further. The IP65-rated front bezel resists oil mist, spray-down and dust common in stamping, machining, food & beverage washdown (non-hygienic grade) and packaging lines. Portrait or landscape mounting flexibility allows the Siemens 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX0​ to be deployed on narrow machine columns as well as horizontal control-room desks.

TIA Portal alignment: Because the panel configures inside WinCC Comfort / TIA Portal, engineering teams reuse the same tag database, faceplate libraries and audit-trail settings already established for S7-1200/1500 projects. Screens authored for smaller Comfort panels (TP700, TP900, TP1200, TP1500) scale upward to the Siemens 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX0​ with minimal rework, protecting engineering investment across a multi-line rollout.

Lifecycle transparency: Siemens classifies the -0AX0 as spare-part status with successor 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX1 (WEC 2013, V14 SP1+), and longer-term migration path to the 6AV2128 Unified Comfort line. For plants that must freeze OS/firmware for validation reasons, the Siemens 6AV2124-0UC02-0AX0​ remains the correct procurement choice, and we supply tested surplus/new-old-stock units with configuration integrity verified.
