Siemens EcoTech is an environmental product performance label designed to drive the sustainable transformation of industry and infrastructure. The label gives you transparency on the performance of Siemens’ certified products across environmental relevant criteria, enabling you to make informed choices to support your sustainability goals. One such product that features the EcoTech label is the range of SIMATIC HMI Unified Basic Panels.
The high quality, modern design of the panels feature multi-touch and gesture recognition technology making them ideal for industrial environments. Available in four display sizes from 4″ to 12″, all models have the same performance, the same number of hardware interfaces and the same functionality. Operators should be particularly pleased with the brilliant presentation and readability of the display, courtesy of a glass front with anti-reflective layer, as well as static and dynamic SVG graphics. When you add the zoom and moveable zoom range functionality, as well as two-hand operation and the ability to operate with a glove, the overall usability is comparable to your day to day smart phone!
