Features:
- A 5.7-inch resistive touchscreen presents ProTool-configured machine controls and messages.
- MPI or PROFIBUS DP exchanges HMI tags with the connected automation controller.
- RS232 and CompactFlash provide separate printing and removable-storage paths.
Touch objects convert operator selections into the tag actions defined by the HMI project.
The blue-mode STN display renders the configured screens at 320 by 240 pixels.
Transfer settings, project version and physical cutout must match the exact panel.
The Siemens 6AV6545-0BB15-2AX0 SIMATIC TP170B Mono Touch Panel may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Turning configured screen objects into operator actions
- Display layer: The STN panel renders the active ProTool screen and its process values.
- Touch layer: A resistive touch selection triggers the function assigned to that screen object.
- Tag update: The project reads or writes the linked PLC variable through the configured connection.
- Alarm display: Runtime messages present the conditions defined in the HMI project.
Keeping automation and peripheral interfaces separate
- MPI path: The panel can exchange project tags on an MPI network.
- PROFIBUS path: The same controller interface supports the documented PROFIBUS DP connection.
- RS232 path: A separate serial interface is reserved for the supported printer connection.
- Address match: Panel and controller settings must use the same network parameters.
Relating internal memory to removable CompactFlash media
- Internal memory: The panel stores its executable runtime project in the available user area.
- CF slot: A supported CompactFlash card carries approved backup or runtime data.
- Transfer tool: ProTool/Lite downloads a compatible project image to the exact panel type.
- Version check: Engineering and operating-system versions must agree before a restore is attempted.
Matching the front frame to the cabinet opening
- Front size: The 212 by 156 mm face covers the documented mounting cutout.
- Cutout size: A 198 by 142 mm opening accepts the clamped panel body.
- Rear depth: The 45 mm device depth remains behind the mounting surface.
- Connector space: Additional cabinet clearance is required for attached communication and power plugs.
