Selection Notes

The KP1200 Comfort's 34 LED function keys handle more discrete machine states than the 26-key KP900, making it the fit for larger control panels, multi-station lines, or secondary HMI stations mirroring a larger touch panel where more fixed-function buttons are needed without moving to a touchscreen. At 0.85 A / 20 W it draws only slightly more than the KP900 despite the larger 12.1-inch display, so the same 24V DC supply budget covers either size. Choose the key-operated KP1200 over a touch Comfort Panel when the operator wears gloves or vibration and dust make reliable touch input unreliable.

Applications

Used as a secondary or redundant operator station on packaging and material-handling lines already running PROFINET, where discrete keys map directly to S7 I/O without configuring onscreen buttons.
