Features:
- A 5.7-inch analog-resistive screen combines process display and operator input in one front assembly.
- MPI/PROFIBUS DP and serial links connect the panel to configured controllers, transfer stations, or printers.
- Windows CE runs projects containing screens, alarms, recipes, variables, and as many as five runtime languages.
The sealed operator surface of Siemens 6AV6545-0BC15-2AX0 remains separate from the IP20 electronics behind the cabinet cutout.
The communication driver selected for 6AV6545-0BC15-2AX0 assigns its MPI, PROFIBUS DP, or serial path to the target controller.
Project storage and the CF-card slot let 6AV6545-0BC15-2AX0 retain configured runtime objects and transferable data records.
The Siemens 6AV6545-0BC15-2AX0 SIMATIC TP170B Color Touch Operator Panel may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Operator Screen and Touch Path
- Image surface: The STN display renders configured graphics, values, messages, and controls at 320 x 240 pixels.
- Touch entry: The resistive overlay converts a pressed screen position into the assigned runtime action.
- Backlight: The backlight illuminates the process image independently of the controller communication path.
- Calibration: Touch calibration aligns the physical press position with the configured on-screen object.
Controller, Transfer, and Printer Links
- MPI/PROFIBUS DP: The selected bus driver carries cyclic process data and configured controller connections.
- Serial channel: RS232, RS422, or RS485 operation follows the assigned cable and protocol instead of sharing one electrical format.
- Project transfer: A configured serial or MPI/PROFIBUS DP path downloads the runtime project to the panel.
- Printer path: The printer connection outputs configured alarms or reports without replacing the controller link.
Runtime Objects and Storage Flow
- Configuration: ProTool/Lite or WinCC flexible builds the screens, variables, alarms, and recipes used by the panel.
- Internal memory: Flash/RAM resources retain the runtime project and working data needed during operation.
- CF card: The removable card provides a separate path for supported recipe, backup, or transfer data.
- Language sets: The project can contain multiple languages while the runtime exposes the configured online subset.
Front Seal and Rear Cabinet Boundary
- Panel cutout: Correct seating and fastening preserve the front-panel seal against the cabinet surface.
- Rear enclosure: The IP20 rear electronics remain inside a suitable control enclosure.
- Orientation: Vertical installation keeps the internal heat path aligned with the documented design.
- Inclination: The panel stays inside the specified angle when no external ventilation is provided.
