Fieldbus and controller compatibility
The 6AG1642-0DC01-4AX1: This HMI communicates exclusively over PROFIBUS DP (S5 protocol) and MPI — no Ethernet or PROFINET port on board. It connects directly to S7-200 and S7-300/400 CPUs over the MPI network, or to S5 controllers via the PROFIBUS DP interface. The absence of a serial port means legacy point-to-point links (PPI, TI 505) are not supported.
Environmental and clock specs
Rated for -20 to 60 °C ambient — the wide span suits unheated plant floors or cabinet interiors near process heat. The hardware clock is synchronizable over the network but carries no battery backup; time is lost on power-down unless the PLC master re-syncs at each startup. Rear protection is IP20, so the unit is intended for enclosure mounting with the front panel exposed.
Software and remote access
Sm@rtServer is enabled, allowing remote HMI access via a web browser — useful for diagnostics or monitoring without a local programming cable. The unit supports 500 icons, trend display, bit messages, limit-value monitoring, and a help system. Animation, color change, and a clean-screen function are present. Simulation mode is available for offline testing of HMI logic without a connected controller.
