Features:
- A 5.7-inch analog-resistive touch surface controls the 320 x 240 blue-mode operator display.
- RS 422/RS 485 communication links the panel to PROFIBUS DP and supported serial systems.
- Two megabytes of user memory hold the configured screens, alarms, recipes, and runtime objects.
Siemens 6AV6642-0BC01-1AX1 converts touch positions into HMI commands while updating displayed values from the connected controller.
The communication port of 6AV6642-0BC01-1AX1 carries the configured PROFIBUS or serial protocol independently of its USB peripheral connection.
Cabinet installation of 6AV6642-0BC01-1AX1 keeps the protected front accessible and the IP20 rear inside the enclosure.
The Siemens 6AV6642-0BC01-1AX1 SIMATIC TP177B Touch 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 Screen Output
- Touch layer: The analog-resistive surface translates the pressed screen position into a runtime command.
- Pixel field: The STN panel presents the project at 320 x 240 pixels.
- Color mode: Four blue levels distinguish graphics, text, states, and backgrounds.
- Backlight: The documented backlight supports the configured screen without changing panel resolution.
Runtime Data and Configuration
- Engineering: WinCC flexible creates and transfers the HMI project for this panel generation.
- User capacity: Two megabytes are available for project-related data and runtime objects.
- Alarm handling: Configured messages are displayed and acknowledged through the touch interface.
- Recipe handling: Recipe records use the panel project and storage resources rather than controller program memory.
Controller and Peripheral Paths
- Field interface: RS 422/RS 485 carries PROFIBUS DP or the supported serial protocol.
- Bus rate: PROFIBUS communication is specified up to 12 Mbit/s.
- USB host: A supported USB peripheral uses a separate host connection.
- Network boundary: This exact TP177B variant has no integrated Ethernet interface.
Protection and Cabinet Boundary
- Front face: IP65 protection applies at the operator side when the panel is correctly installed.
- Rear enclosure: The IP20 rear section remains within the cabinet or console.
- Orientation: Permitted inclination and ventilation clearance must follow the installation conditions.
- Power entry: The panel receives its operating energy from a 24 V DC source.
