The Siemens 6AV6647-0AH11-3AX1 is a SIMATIC HMI KP300 Basic mono PN key-operated panel with a 3.6 in FSTN display at 240x80 pixel resolution, 10 function keys, and a single PROFINET interface, configured from WinCC Basic in TIA Portal. It runs on 24V DC and carries IP65 protection at the front.
Ten key-operated function keys and no touchscreen make this panel a fit for machine fronts with vibration, gloved operators, or washdown exposure where a touch surface would be unreliable; IP65 at the front supports that use. The single PROFINET interface, with no RS485, RS232, or USB port listed, means it only connects to PROFINET-based PLCs, not PROFIBUS or serial-only controllers. With 1 Mbyte of user memory, 50 configurable images, and 5 recipes at 20 data records each, it is sized for a single-machine operator station, not a multi-screen SCADA-style visualization.
Status, alarm, and recipe-selection displays on standalone machines with a PROFINET-networked SIMATIC PLC, panel-mounted in cabinet doors or machine fronts where key operation and IP65 sealing at the front are preferred over a touchscreen.
