All Unified Comfort Panels offer the same number of hardware interfaces and the same functionality. You only have to decide on the appropriate size of the display, from 7 to 22 inches.

The proprietary operating system - based on SIMATIC Industrial OS - ensures maximum safety. You can deactivate or uninstall the interfaces and system apps that are not needed. Despite their openness and expandability, the Panels are more secure than ever before.

The new hardware offers significantly more performance - for example for secure execution of edge apps or high-speed visualization. The system limits have been at least doubled, in some cases even tripled.

Smartphones are the standard in today's day and age; Thanks to multi-touch technology, operating Unified Comfort Panels is as simple as it is elegant and offers maximum ease of use with high contrast and optimum legibility.

The new SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort Panels are Edge-enabled. This opens up completely new possibilities, such as functional expansion by using apps and the processing and analysis of data directly at the machine.

SIMATIC WinCC Unified is the fundamentally new visualization software in the TIA Portal. Once created, components can be used for PC systems as well as on the SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort Panels, which are part of the WinCC Unified system. 

Despite fundamentally new developments in hardware and software, the DNA of the Comfort series remains consistent: Real added values such as automatic system backup and high quality are essential features of the Unified Comfort Panels.

Security or firmware upgrades are downloaded directly to the devices via the TIA Portal or the SIMATIC Automation Tool. This will keep your panels up to date and secure for years to come.

Safe operation with standard work gloves and intelligent detection of operating errors (e.g. resting the heel of a hand on the screen) make the Unified Comfort Panels ready for tough industrial environments.

Greater flexibility through easy access from any location

Thanks to modern HTML5 technology, WinCC Unified allows authorized operators access via any modern web browser, without having to install any separate plug-ins at all. With Siemens' own TIA Portal V17 automation software, not only for WinCC Unified PC, but now also for all Unified Comfort Panels.

Less engineering is required due to limitless scalability

WinCC Unified is the first visualization system that allows limitless scaling from very small solutions directly on the PLC, up to large applications in the SCADA environment. Once created, operating screens and components can be reused. This not only reduces the effort required to create them, but also ensures consistent usability during operation. New in TIA Portal V17: WinCC Unified View of Things – a functionality for implementing small visualizations directly on the controllers of the S7-1500 series.

Maximum openness for the integrated digitization of manufacturing processes

In order to be able to digitize manufacturing processes on an integrated basis, open interfaces are required that ensure a cross-departmental flow of data. WinCC Unified provides various interfaces as standard. These not only ensure communication with other IT systems but also allow web-based tools to be integrated into the visualization of WinCC Unified.
