The 6AV6640-0CA01-0AX0 features a 5.7″ STN (Super Twisted Nematic) blue mode LCD. Unlike full‑color TFT displays, this blue mode display shows 4 levels of blue on a dark background. This monochrome design was common in legacy HMI panels and is suitable for applications where color is not required. The resolution is 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA), sufficient for simple machine graphics, text, and numeric displays. The analog resistive touch screen requires pressure to activate and works with a finger or stylus – even when wearing industrial gloves. The on‑screen keyboards (numeric, alphanumeric, hexadecimal) eliminate the need for physical keys, simplifying the front panel design.
The 6AV6640-0CA01-0AX0 is specifically designed to communicate with SIMATIC S7‑200 PLCs. It supports PPI (point‑to‑point), PPI network, and MPI protocols. PPI (Point‑to‑Point Interface) is a Siemens proprietary protocol used for programming and HMI communication with S7‑200 CPUs. The panel can be connected directly to the S7‑200’s RS‑485 port (PPI/MPI) without additional hardware. It does not support PROFIBUS DP, Ethernet, or any third‑party protocols such as Modbus, Allen Bradley, or Mitsubishi.
The 6AV6640-0CA01-0AX0 is marked as a spare part, indicating it is no longer in active production and is intended for maintaining existing installations. It supports up to 250 screens, 500 bit messages (no analog messages), and 250 variables. It has 5 online/runtime languages and 32 project languages. It does not support analog alarms, telegram alarms, or multi‑key operation. The panel has no SD card slot, no USB port, and no Ethernet. Backup and restore are manual only (no automatic transfer).
The 6AV6640-0CA01-0AX0 Siemens Touch Panel may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL)by the manufacturer (OEM).
