Features:
- Eight illuminated function keys provide physical command entry beside the 4.3-inch display.
- PROFINET and MPI/PROFIBUS DP use different built-in connection paths.
- The IP65 front and IP20 rear define opposite sides of the mounting boundary.
Physical keys and screen-based process views meet on the 6AV2124-1DC01-0AX0 panel, so key-operated actions remain distinct from on-screen display objects.
The HMI project can exchange values through its Ethernet or RS 422/485 interface according to the configured controller connection.
The housing installs in a panel cutout; the sealed front faces the operator and the less protected rear stays in the cabinet.
The Siemens 6AV2124-1DC01-0AX0 KP400 Comfort Key-Operated Operator Panel may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Operator input and feedback
- Key operation: The eight physical function keys carry configured commands without a touch sensor.
- Key indication: LEDs assigned to the keys show their configured state at the front.
- Process display: The TFT presents configured screens and current process values.
- Alarm view: The HMI project can show alarms and retain entries in its message buffer.
Controller and transfer paths
- Ethernet path: The single Industrial Ethernet port carries PROFINET communication.
- Serial path: The RS 422/485 interface carries MPI or PROFIBUS DP when configured for that network.
- USB path: Mini-B USB provides a separate device-side transfer connection.
- No integrated switch: The Ethernet connection is one port rather than a two-port pass-through switch.
Project data and operation
- Project storage: The panel holds the HMI configuration in its internal memory.
- Recipe records: Configured recipes store sets of operator-entered values.
- Alarm buffer: The configured message system records alarm entries for operator review.
- Removable media: SD slots and USB media provide supported external storage paths.
Enclosure installation limits
- Front boundary: The fitted front face carries IP65 protection.
- Rear boundary: The rear carries IP20 protection and belongs inside the enclosure.
- Cutout: The mounting opening must match the panel's stated cutout dimensions.
- Angle limit: The specified inclination applies when the panel runs without external ventilation.
