Features:
- The LED-backlit LC display presents four rows with 20 characters on each row.
- Eight function keys can operate as screen-specific soft keys alongside a 22-key system keypad.
- The DP-12 interface carries PROFIBUS DP communication at up to 12 Mbaud.
Native drivers let the panel exchange operator data with the documented SIMATIC S5, S7, M7, and 505 controller families.
Flash memory retains the configured screens and data records without using a battery-backed operating-data store.
The front-panel enclosure protects the display and keys to IP65, while rear wiring and connectors remain inside the control enclosure.
The Siemens 6AV3607-1JC30-0AX2 SIMATIC OP7/DP12 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 Message Presentation
- Message area: Four text rows display configured process values, event messages, alarm messages, and menu prompts.
- Function layer: Keys F1 to F4 and K1 to K4 call global functions or screen-dependent soft-key actions.
- System entry: The 22-key keypad handles numeric input, cursor movement, confirmation, escape, acknowledgement, and help functions.
- Key indication: PLC-controlled LEDs in keys K1 to K4 provide configured visual state feedback.
Separate Programming and Controller Paths
- IF1A path: The general serial interface carries RS232 and TTY connections for the supported engineering or controller links.
- IF1B path: The switchable nine-pin interface serves PROFIBUS DP, RS422, or RS485 according to the DP-12 configuration.
- Signal assignment: Data A, Data B, and RTS occupy defined pins when the fieldbus mode is selected.
- Driver boundary: Communication uses the native driver assigned to the configured S5, 505, S7, or M7 connection.
PROFIBUS-DP Operating Path
- DP rate: The DP-12 variant accepts PROFIBUS DP communication up to 12 Mbaud through IF1B.
- Panel exchange: Process values and operator commands cross the fieldbus between the controller program and panel variables.
- Interface setting: Rear DIP-switch positions select the required RS422/RS485 or PROFIBUS DP signaling behavior.
- Cable selection: The connected cable must follow the nine-pin assignment for the chosen PROFIBUS DP mode.
Cabinet Supply and Mounting Limits
- Panel supply: A 24 V DC source feeds the complete operator panel through its rear power connection.
- Front exposure: IP65 protection applies at the installed front face, while the rear remains IP20 inside the enclosure.
- Mounting direction: Vertical installation permits operation to 50 °C, but horizontal installation limits operation to 35 °C.
- Moisture limit: Operating humidity can reach 95% provided condensation does not form.
