Preparing The Mounting Cutout - Siemens SIMATIC HMI Unified Comfort MTP700 Operating Instructions Manual

3.1.5

Preparing the mounting cutout

Note
Stability of the mounting cutout
The material in the area of the mounting cutout must provide sufficient strength to guarantee
lasting and safe mounting of the HMI device.
To achieve the degrees of protection described below, it must be ensured that deformation
of the material cannot occur due to the force of the mounting clips or operation of the device.
Degrees of protection
The degrees of protection of the HMI device can only be guaranteed if the following
requirements are met:
● Material thickness at the mounting cutout for a degree of protection IP65 or Front face
only Type 4X/Type 12 (indoor use only): 2 mm to 6 mm
● Permitted deviation from plane at the mounting cutout: ≤ 0.5 mm
This condition must be met for the mounted HMI device.
● Permissible surface roughness in the area of the seal: ≤ 120 µm (R
Compatibility of the mounting cutout to other HMI devices
The Unified Comfort HMI devices are mounting-compatible with standard SIMATIC Industrial
PCs, Industrial Flat Panels and Industrial Thin Clients with identical display diagonals.
Please note that although the dimensions for the mounting cutout are the same, the device
depth of the Unified Comfort HMI devices may differ from that of compatible devices.
In addition, the following installation compatibility with the predecessor devices applies:

MTP700 Unified Comfort
MTP1200 Unified Comfort
For Unified Comfort HMI devices with display diagonal ≥15", adapter frames are available for
mounting in the mounting cutout of a Comfort HMI device with the corresponding display
diagonal, see section "Accessories (Page 16)".
