Description
About the KP1500 Comfort
About the KP1500 Comfort
The Siemens 6AV2124-1QC02-0AX2 is a SIMATIC KP1500 Comfort HMI operator panel with a 15.4-inch TFT display and 36 illuminated function keys for key-based machine control. It runs Windows Embedded Compact 2013, communicates over PROFINET, PROFIBUS DP, MPI and EtherNet/IP, and operates from 0C to 45C at 24V DC. Configuration memory is 24 MB, configurable from WinCC Comfort V14 SP1.

Selection Notes
The KP1500 Comfort's 36 keys and independent third Ethernet port, beyond the 2-port switch, distinguish it from the KP900/KP1200 pair, useful when the panel also needs a dedicated network connection separate from a PROFINET line topology, for example a diagnostics laptop drop without interrupting the machine network. Its 41 W typical draw and 1.7 A current consumption are roughly double the KP1200's, so panel PSU sizing needs to account for the larger display and keypad. The 0C to 45C operating range is narrower than the KP1200/KP900's 50C ceiling, reflecting the added heat from the larger 15.4-inch backlight, a relevant constraint for hot cabinet locations.
Applications
Suited to primary operator stations on larger machines needing an independent Ethernet drop for commissioning or diagnostics alongside the PROFINET line, in installations already standardized on Comfort Panel key operation rather than touch.
