Siemens 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 Overview

Siemens 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 Product Features

The Siemens 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 SIMATIC TP 177B is a durable and versatile human-machine interface (HMI) panel designed for precise control and monitoring in industrial automation. With a 5.7-inch color display, strong communication options, and a user-friendly interface, it is well-suited for manufacturing lines, process control systems, and other automation environments.

Built for long-term reliability, this panel combines compact dimensions with industrial-grade protection, making it ideal for installations where space is limited but performance is critical. The device’s compatibility with multiple communication protocols ensures seamless integration into new or existing systems, while its robust construction supports operation in demanding conditions.

Visual Output Quality

The 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 is equipped with a 5.7-inch STN screen which provides sharp and reliable visuals for process data, alarms, and operational graphics. With 256 colors and a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, the display offers enough clarity for effective operator decision-making while maintaining the ruggedness required for industrial settings.

The STN technology balances durability and visibility, allowing the screen to function well in various lighting environments. Whether installed in a bright warehouse or a low-light control room, the display remains legible and consistent.

Backlighting Durability

Backlight longevity is a critical factor in industrial HMIs, and the 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 excels with an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 50,000 hours at 25°C. This ensures that even in continuous-use applications, operators can rely on a clear display for years without frequent replacements.

Control Elements

Interaction with the 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 TP 177B is primarily through its resistive, analog touch screen. Accompanying system keys, a numeric keyboard, and an alphanumeric keyboard facilitate user input, essential for various operational settings.

Connectivity and Communication

The 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 is designed for compatibility with a variety of devices and network types. Standard interfaces include:

  • RS 485 – for connecting to legacy industrial devices and networks.
  • RS 422 – for high-speed serial communication in longer cable runs.
  • Ethernet (RJ45) – for integration into modern network infrastructures.

Additionally, the panel supports USB connections for devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or barcode scanner, further enhancing functionality.

Protocols Support

Industrial communication is a core strength of this model. Supported protocols include:

  • PROFINET IO – for high-speed, deterministic industrial networking.
  • PROFIBUS – widely used for connecting PLCs and automation devices.
  • EtherNet/IP – ensuring compatibility with multi-vendor industrial systems.

This broad protocol support ensures the HMI can seamlessly integrate into almost any automation architecture.

Installation and Environmental Tolerance

The 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 TP 177B is optimized for vertical mounting and can be installed at a maximum inclination of 35° without external ventilation. This flexibility allows it to fit into space-restricted control panels without overheating.

  • Operating temperature range: 0°C to 50°C
  • Storage temperature range: -20°C to 60°C

With an IP65 front panel protection rating, the unit is dust-tight and resistant to water jets, making it suitable for tough industrial environments.

Processor and Memory Specs

 Powered by an ARM processor running at 200 MHz, the 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 TP 177B offers reliable performance for HMI applications. Internal memory includes:

  • Flash Memory – for program storage.
  • RAM – for active operations.
  • 2,048 kbytes of user data memory – providing sufficient storage for configuration files, alarms, and system messages.

This combination ensures smooth operation and quick screen changes, even in process-intensive environments.

Standards and Certifications

The 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 meets international safety and quality standards, holding CE and UL certifications. While ATEX Zone 2 and Zone 22 certifications were available in the past, they are no longer valid for units manufactured after October 2020, meaning the panel is not certified for certain hazardous environments.

Typical Industrial Applications

The Siemens 6AV6642-0BA01-1AX1 TP 177B is a highly adaptable HMI, making it suitable for a variety of industrial uses:

  • Manufacturing Lines – Monitoring production progress, triggering alarms, and adjusting process parameters.
  • Material Handling Systems – Controlling conveyors, sorting equipment, and automated storage systems.
  • Process Control – Managing chemical, food, or pharmaceutical processes with real-time parameter adjustments.
  • Energy and Utilities – Monitoring pumps, valves, and control equipment in water treatment or power generation facilities.
  • Logistics and Distribution – Overseeing automated warehouse systems and ensuring smooth flow of goods.
