Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0 KTP900 Basic HMI

Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0 KTP900 Basic Panel

The Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0 belongs to the SIMATIC HMI Basic series. This KTP900 model supports both touch and key operation. Consequently, operators can choose their preferred input method.

Display and Visual Performance

This HMI uses a 9-inch widescreen TFT display with LED backlight. Screen resolution equals 800 x 480 pixels, shown in red text. Display width measures 198 mm, and height measures 111.7 mm.

Color depth reaches 65,536 colors, highlighted in red text. This provides clear and vivid graphics. The backlight lasts 20,000 hours at 25°C and is fully dimmable.

Control Elements and Touch Function

The 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0 features eight function keys. However, none of these keys have built-in LEDs. System keys are not present on this model.

Touch operation uses analog resistive technology. A screen keyboard appears for numeric or alphanumeric input. Therefore, you can enter data without external keyboards.

Installation Flexibility

You can mount this panel vertically or horizontally. Portrait format and landscape format are both supported, noted in red text. Maximum tilt angle without external ventilation is 35 degrees.

Vertical installation works between 0°C and 50°C. However, portrait orientation limits the top temperature to 40°C. For tilted installation, the maximum drops to 40°C.

Power Requirements

Power supply must be 24V DC. The acceptable range spans 19.2V to 28.8V. Current consumption is typically 230 mA, shown in red text.

Inrush current I²t equals 0.2 A²·s. Active power consumption is only 5.5 W. Therefore, this panel is energy efficient.

Memory and Processor

An ARM processor runs the system. Flash and RAM memory are both included. User data memory equals 10 Mbyte, highlighted in red text.

No SD card slot is available on this model. However, you get one USB port supporting up to 16 GB. Use this for project transfer or data logging.

Connectivity and Interfaces

The Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0 includes one industrial Ethernet port. Two Ethernet status LEDs help with diagnostics. No RS485, RS422, or RS232 ports are present.

PROFINET is the main fieldbus supported. EtherNet/IP and MODBUS TCP/IP are also available. PROFIBUS is not supported on this Basic panel.

Supported Protocols

TCP/IP, DHCP, SNMP, DCP, and LLDP all work over Ethernet. MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) is not supported. Therefore, use this panel in simple network topologies.

For PLC connections, it works with Siemens S7-1200, S7-1500, S7-300/400, S7-200, and LOGO!. Additionally, Allen Bradley (EtherNet/IP), Mitsubishi (MC TCP/IP), and Modicon (MODBUS TCP/IP) are supported.

Environmental Ratings

The front panel carries an IP65 rating, highlighted in red text. The rear panel is IP20. NEMA Type 4 and Type 4x are also approved for the front.

Operating humidity can reach 90% without condensation. Storage temperature ranges from -20°C to 60°C. Marine approvals include GL, ABS, BV, DNV, LRS, and NK.

Hazardous area approvals are not available for this model. ATEX, IECEx, and FM certifications are all marked as no.

Physical Dimensions

Front housing width equals 267 mm. Front housing height equals 182 mm. Mounting cutout size is 251 mm wide by 166 mm high.

Mounting depth is only 39.4 mm, shown in red text. This shallow depth suits tight control cabinets. Weight without packaging is 1,130 g.

Configuration Requirements

You need WinCC Basic V13 or higher from TIA Portal. STEP 7 Basic V13 also includes the required software. WinCC flexible is not compatible with this panel.

Online runtime supports 10 languages. Each project can contain up to 32 languages. A built-in web browser is available for additional functionality.

Backup and Transfer

Project transfer happens over Ethernet or USB. No MPI/PROFIBUS or USB mini port is available. Backup and restore functions are supported manually.

Automatic backup is not available. However, you can use external USB storage for data logging and recipe transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I program the 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0 with WinCC Flexible?
No, you need WinCC Basic V13 or higher from TIA Portal. WinCC flexible does not support Basic panels.

2. Does this panel support PROFIBUS communication?
No, it only supports PROFINET and Ethernet-based protocols. For PROFIBUS, choose a different KTP model.

3. What is the difference between KTP900 and TP900?
KTP900 has physical keys and touch. TP900 is touch-only. The 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0 offers both options.

4. How do I transfer a project without a network cable?
Use the USB port with a USB drive. Copy the project file to the drive, then insert it into the panel.

5. Is the backlight replaceable?
No, the LED backlight is not user-replaceable. Estimated lifespan is 20,000 hours at 25°C. After that, consider a replacement panel.
