Siemens 6AV3627-1QL01-0AX0 TP27-10 Touch Panel – 10.4″ STN Color HMI, 1 MB Flash, MPI/PROFIBUS DP

Product Overview

The 6AV3627-1QL01-0AX0​ is a Siemens SIMATIC TP27-10 Touch Panel, the 10.4-inch flagship of the classic second-generation TP27 series that defined entry-to-mid-tier HMI in the late 1990s through 2000s SIMATIC ecosystem. Positioned between the smaller TP27-6 (6") and the short-lived TP37, the 6AV3627-1QL01-0AX0​ delivers a 10.4" STN color LCD at 640 × 480 VGA resolution with analog resistive touch, packaged behind an IP65-rated front bezel for cabinet-mounted plant-floor duty. It runs on Windows CE and is configured exclusively through Siemens ProTool V5.2 or V6.0 — the pre-WinCC-flexible engineering toolchain that still supports thousands of installed machines worldwide. With 1 MB of Flash EPROM for project storage and a PCMCIA/JEIDA slot for removable media, the 6AV3627-1QL01-0AX0​ was designed for straightforward visualization of S7-300, S7-400, and S7-M7/M7-300 PLC data via its onboard MPI/PROFIBUS DP port (up to 12 Mbps) plus two RS-232/TTY ports (one AG interface, one PG/printer interface). Although Siemens has officially discontinued the TP27 family and designates the MP277-10 as the migration successor, the 6AV3627-1QL01-0AX0​ remains heavily specified for MRO spare pools, legacy-line extensions, and retrofit-to-like replacements where requalifying an entire machine onto WinCC Flexible or Comfort would trigger unwanted re-validation cost. For plants standardized on ProTool-era HMI, the 10.4" TP27 form factor is familiar to operators, mechanically compatible with existing cutouts, and serviced by a mature global spare market — making remaining new-old-stock and professionally refurbished 6AV3627-1QL01-0AX0​ units strategically valuable assets rather than obsolete scrap.

Main Features and Advantages

Analog resistive touch for glove-and-stylus reliability

Unlike modern capacitive panels that struggle with gloved operators or wet environments, the 6AV3627-1QL01-0AX0​ uses analog resistive touch — the same technology that made the TP27 series the default for food-packaging HMI, mechanical press local stations, and warehouse conveyor inducts throughout the 2000s. A stylus, finger, or gloved press all register reliably. The 10.4″ format gives enough canvas for eight to twelve softkeys plus alarm banner, tag value fields, and a trend strip without scrolling — a layout that became muscle-memory for generations of S7-300 machine operators.

Direct MPI/PROFIBUS DP without extra hardware

A standout of the 6AV3627-1QL01-0AX0​ is the integrated 12 Mbps MPI/PROFIBUS DP port that speaks natively to S7-300/400 racks on the same bus as the PLC programming PG. No Ethernet switch, no OPC server, no middleware — the panel sits as another node on the MPI cable alongside the CPU and the engineer’s PG cable. This “bus-shared” architecture kept BOM cost low on hundreds of thousands of SKUs where a single S7-314 and a TP27 were the entire automation envelope. The second RS-232/TTY port doubles as a local printer or barcode scanner connection, while the AG RS-232 serves auxiliary devices.

ProTool engineering — lightweight and deterministic

The 6AV3627-1QL01-0AX0​ is configured in ProTool V5.2 / V6.0, Siemens’ pre-Flexible configuration environment. While ProTool lacks the animation richness of modern WinCC, it is fast, stable, and produces deterministic 1 MB projects that boot in seconds on Windows CE. For OEMs who froze their machine HMI at ProTool level fifteen years ago and never needed more, the 6AV3627-1QL01-0AX0​ represents “finished software” — no migration, no regression testing, just swap the hardware and restore the image.
