About the TP1500 Comfort Outdoor
About the TP1500 Comfort Outdoor
The Siemens 6AV2124-0QC13-0AX0 is a SIMATIC TP1500 Comfort Outdoor HMI operator panel with a 15.4-inch TFT touchscreen and IP66 protection at the front, built for outdoor and harsh-environment mounting. It runs Windows CE 6.0, connects over PROFINET, PROFIBUS DP, MPI and EtherNet/IP, and operates from -30C to 60C in vertical installation. The powder-coated, UV-resistant enclosure suits marine and offshore panels.

Selection Notes
The 6AV2124-0QC13-0AX0 differs from the standard indoor TP1500 Comfort variants in its powder-coated, UV-resistant enclosure rated for outdoor mounting from -30C to 60C in vertical installation, dropping to 50C at maximum tilt angle. IP66 front protection plus NEMA 4/4X ratings make it suited for skid-mounted or outdoor cabinet HMIs exposed to washdown or weather, where a standard indoor Comfort Panel would not hold its rating outside. The 12 MB configuration memory and dual industrial Ethernet ports with an integrated 2-port switch support a PROFINET line topology without an external switch, and the 40 configurable touch buttons let discrete machine functions trigger without wiring separate pushbuttons into the panel.
Applications
Suited to outdoor skid HMIs, marine and offshore control panels covered by GL, ABS, DNV, LRS and KRS marine approvals, and machinery operating through wide ambient temperature swings where a standard indoor Comfort Panel would exceed its rated range.
