Features:
- The LED-backlit LCD displays either 4 x 20 or 8 x 40 characters.
- Twenty-four function keys and twenty-two system keys support local operator input.
- The OP17/DP12 interface supports PROFIBUS DP communication up to 12 Mbaud.
Siemens 6AV3617-1JC30-0AX2 combines the OP17 keyboard, display, flash memory, and communication interfaces in one panel-mounted HMI.
Its DP-12 designation is essential because the OP17 variants differ in communication capability and must not be interchanged by appearance alone.
The correctly mounted front provides IP65 protection, while the IP20 rear and 24 V DC connections remain inside the enclosure.
The Siemens 6AV3617-1JC30-0AX2 SIMATIC OP17/DP12 Operator Panel may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
