Siemens 6AV2123-2MA03-0AX0 KTP1200 Basic DP

Siemens 6AV2123-2MA03-0AX0 KTP1200 Basic DP Panel

The Siemens 6AV2123-2MA03-0AX0 belongs to the SIMATIC HMI Basic series. This KTP1200 model supports both touch and physical key operation. Consequently, operators can choose their preferred input method even with gloves.

Display and Visual Performance

This HMI uses a 12-inch widescreen TFT display with LED backlight. Screen resolution reaches 1280 x 800 pixels, shown in red text. Display width measures 261.1 mm, and height measures 163.2 mm.

Color depth equals 65,536 colors, highlighted in red text. This provides clear and detailed graphics for complex machine overviews. The backlight lasts 20,000 hours at 25°C and is fully dimmable.

Control Elements and Touch Function

The 6AV2123-2MA03-0AX0 features ten function keys. However, none of these keys include built-in LEDs. System keys are not present on this model.

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

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 in portrait mode, the maximum drops to 35°C.

Power Requirements

Power supply must be 24V DC. The acceptable range spans 19.2V to 28.8V. Current consumption is typically 550 mA, shown in red text.

Inrush current I²t equals 0.2 A²·s. Active power consumption is 13.2 W. Therefore, this panel requires a stable 24V power source.

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 data logging or recipe transfer.

Connectivity and Interfaces – PROFIBUS Focus

The Siemens 6AV2123-2MA03-0AX0 includes one RS485 interface. It also has one RS422 port which shares the same connector. No industrial Ethernet port is present on this model.

PROFIBUS is the main fieldbus supported. MPI is also available for direct connection to Siemens PLCs. MODBUS RTU is supported for Modicon devices.

Supported Protocols and PLC Coupling

PROFINET is not supported on this Basic DP panel. EtherNet/IP and TCP/IP are also unavailable. Therefore, use this panel exclusively in PROFIBUS networks.

For PLC connections, it works with Siemens S7-1200, S7-1500, S7-300/400, S7-200, and LOGO!. Additionally, Allen Bradley DF1, Mitsubishi FX, OMRON LINK, and Modicon MODBUS RTU 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. This panel is for indoor use only.

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

Marine Approvals

Marine approvals include GL, ABS, BV, DNV, LRS, and NK, shown in red text. PRS and CCS are not approved. Therefore, this panel suits most shipboard applications.

Physical Dimensions

Front housing width equals 330 mm. Front housing height equals 245 mm. Mounting cutout size is 310 mm wide by 221 mm high.

Overall depth is 54.9 mm, noted in red text. Weight without packaging equals 1,710 g. The panel feels solid but remains manageable.

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 buzzer provides audible feedback for alarms.

Backup and Transfer

Project transfer happens over PROFIBUS DP or USB storage. Ethernet transfer is not 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. A task planner with task-controlled actions is included.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does the 6AV2123-2MA03-0AX0 support Ethernet?
No, this model uses PROFIBUS only. No Ethernet port is available. For Ethernet, choose the KTP1200 Basic PN version.

2. Can I program this panel with WinCC Comfort?
Yes, WinCC Comfort V13 or higher works. WinCC Basic also works. However, WinCC flexible is not supported.

3. What is the difference between KTP1200 Basic DP and Basic PN?
DP models have PROFIBUS and no Ethernet. PN models have PROFINET/Ethernet and no PROFIBUS. The 6AV2123-2MA03-0AX0 is the DP version.

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

5. Is the backlight replaceable in the field?
No, the LED backlight is not user-replaceable. Estimated lifespan is 20,000 hours at 25°C. Contact Siemens service for replacement.
