Features:
- The 12.1-inch TFT presents project screens at 800x600 resolution.
- Thirty-six membrane function keys include LED indicators.
- PC and CompactFlash card slots accept supported removable media.
The SIMATIC MP370 coordinates its display, membrane keys, and configured screen objects so an operator can navigate and act without a touchscreen.
Project engineering determines which alarms, recipes, and controls are exposed on the panel; the hardware alone does not supply an application-specific screen layout.
The front bezel and rear electronics have different protection ratings, so enclosure design must protect the rear rather than treating the complete panel as IP65.
The Siemens 6AV6542-0DA10-0AX0 SIMATIC MP370 Key Operator Panel may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Operator Input Paths
- Function keys: Project-assigned membrane keys invoke the actions linked to the current screen.
- LED cues: An indicator is integrated with each function key.
- System keys: The separate system-key group supports panel navigation and input.
- No touch layer: On-screen objects must be reached through the key-control scheme.
Engineering and Runtime
- Engineering tools: ProTool and the stated WinCC flexible Standard versions are listed for configuration.
- Configured views: Screens, alarms, and recipes belong to the transferred HMI project.
- Language planning: A project can contain more languages than can be selected online at one time.
- Backup path: The panel lists manual backup and restore functions for its configured data.
Controller and Data Connections
- Serial ports: TTY, RS232, RS422, and RS485 are distinct physical communication paths.
- Ethernet: The RJ45 connection provides a network path for supported transfer and coupling configurations.
- USB: The USB port is listed as an external interface for approved peripherals or transfer workflows.
- Cards: PC-card and CF-card slots provide removable-media locations for supported functions.
Panel Mounting Conditions
- Front seal: IP65 concerns the operator-facing front after correct installation.
- Rear space: IP20 at the back requires the cabinet to provide environmental protection.
- Mounting direction: Vertical installation is specified for the panel.
- Inclination: Without external ventilation, the maximum stated tilt is 35 degrees.
