Introduction

HMI devices in the middle performance range
The Multi Panel MP 270B, Touch Panel TP 270 and Operator Panel OP 270 extend the
product spectrum in the middle performance range.
The HMI devices are based on the innovative standard operating system, Microsoft Windows
CE. The robustness and speed of the dedicated hardware solutions are combined with the
flexibility of the PC world.
The MP 270B represents the "Multifunctional Platform" product category and is distinguished
by its variable deployment. This product category is positioned in the product hierarchy
between the process-related, optimized application components, such as operator panels
and controllers, and industrial PCs.
The panels TP 270 and OP 270 are downgraded models and less expensive, but still provide
convincing functionality
The comprehensive product range allows users to choose the HMI device most suited to
their needs. All HMI devices include the following advantages:
• High degree of configuration efficiency
• Configuration simulation on the configuration computer - no PLC required
• Clear display and easy process operation using a Window-Based user interface
• Large selection of predefined screen objects for use during configuration
• Dynamic screen objects, e.g. moving objects
• Uncomplicated and quick handling of recipes and data records in recipe screens and
• Logging of alarms, process values and login/logout procedures
• Creation of vector graphics using the WinCC flexible configuration software without an
