Siemens 6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0 KTP700 Basic HMI Panel

Overview

Siemens 6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0 is the SIMATIC HMI KTP700 Basic panel, a 7-inch key-and-touch operator interface from Siemens’ Basic Panel range designed for straightforward machine-level visualization where a full Comfort Panel feature set is not required. With an 800 x 480 pixel TFT widescreen display, 65,536 colors, an integrated PROFINET interface, and eight configurable function keys alongside the touchscreen, the KTP700 Basic gives OEM machine builders and panel integrators across Oman and the GCC a cost-effective HMI for single-machine control panels, skid packages, and retrofit upgrades from older text-only displays.

Working closely with plant engineers in the region, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the Siemens 6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0 KTP700 Basic panel to panel builders, OEM manufacturers, and plant maintenance teams throughout the Sultanate of Oman and the GCC. Every unit is supplied on request with local technical backup, helping buyers confirm that the hardware and its WinCC Basic project files will match the firmware revision specified in their machine documentation.

Operating Principle

The KTP700 Basic operates as a dedicated visualization and operator-input terminal, running a WinCC Basic project configured in TIA Portal or STEP 7 Basic V13. The panel’s ARM processor continuously polls the connected SIMATIC S7-1200/S7-1500 PLC over its single integrated PROFINET port, reading tag values into configured screen objects — trend curves, alarm lists, and process-mimic graphics — and refreshing the 7-inch TFT display in real time. Because the panel combines both a resistive touchscreen and eight physical function keys, operators get tactile, glove-friendly control for frequently used commands (start/stop, mode select, jog) while still using the touch interface for numeric entry and screen navigation, a combination that machine operators in dusty or wet production environments often prefer over touch-only panels.

The KTP700 Basic includes onboard flash and RAM with 10 MB of memory available for user project data, allowing recipe values, alarm history, and screen configurations to persist locally without depending on continuous PLC communication. Its ARM-based processor and Basic-tier firmware are intentionally streamlined compared with the Comfort Panel range — there is no built-in web server, no multi-touch gesture support, and only a single communication interface — keeping the panel’s cost and configuration complexity lower for machines that only need core visualization and operator-input functions rather than the full SCADA-style feature set of a Comfort Panel.

Engineering Design of the Siemens 6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0

Physically, the KTP700 Basic is built for panel-door cutout mounting, with a 7-inch TFT widescreen display (154.1 mm width x 85.9 mm height) and eight backlit-free function keys arranged along the lower edge of the bezel, secured from behind using the standard Basic Panel mounting clips. The rear housing carries a single integrated PROFINET port for PLC connectivity and programming, plus the 24 V DC power input terminals, keeping the connector count deliberately minimal compared with the Comfort Panel range to simplify field wiring on cost-sensitive machine builds.

Power is drawn from a 24 V DC supply at a typical active power input of 5.5 W, and the LED backlight is rated for 20,000 hours MTBF at 25 degC with dimming support. The panel supports both landscape and portrait mounting orientations and a maximum inclination angle of 35 degrees without external ventilation, giving installers flexibility when the panel-door layout is constrained. Configuration is performed exclusively in WinCC Basic V13 or later within TIA Portal or STEP 7 Basic V13, the same unified engineering environment used for the S7-1200 CPU it is most commonly paired with.

Key Features

The Siemens 6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0 KTP700 Basic panel delivers dependable key-and-touch operator control in a compact, cost-effective package. When budgeting an OEM panel design, Siemens 6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0’s main features include:

• 7-inch TFT widescreen display, 800 x 480 pixel resolution, 65,536 colors, LED backlighting.
• Eight configurable function keys combined with touchscreen operation for tactile, glove-friendly control.
• Single integrated PROFINET interface for direct connection and programming of SIMATIC S7-1200/S7-1500 PLCs.
• 10 MB of onboard memory for user project data, recipes, and alarm history.
• 20,000-hour backlight MTBF at 25°C with dimming support for varied ambient lighting conditions.
• Landscape or portrait mounting orientation, with up to 35° inclination without external ventilation.
• Low typical power consumption of 5.5 W on a 24 V DC supply, easing control-panel power budgeting.
• Native WinCC Basic / TIA Portal engineering shared with S7-1200 CPU programming for a single-vendor toolchain.

Industrial Applications

The Siemens 6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0 KTP700 Basic panel is widely specified across Oman and the GCC for OEM machine control panels where a straightforward, cost-effective HMI is preferred over a full-featured Comfort Panel, including packaging and labeling equipment, small pump-station and utility control panels, and material-handling conveyor lines. Its combination of physical function keys and touchscreen makes it a popular retrofit choice for facilities in Muscat and across the wider Sultanate upgrading legacy text-display operator stations to a modern graphical interface without redesigning the entire control philosophy of the machine.

With fast quotation turnaround and technical support, Seven Star LLC supplies the KTP700 Basic panel to OEM machine builders and panel fabricators supplying the Sohar and Salalah free zones, where cost-sensitive skid and utility-panel builds for logistics, metals, and light-industrial facilities frequently specify Basic Panel HMIs paired with S7-1200 CPUs. The Siemens 6AV2123-2GB03-0AX0 is a recurring line item on cost-sensitive Sohar and Salalah panel tenders, and because these tenders require genuine Siemens hardware with valid warranty for commissioning sign-off, sourcing through a trusted regional supplier in Muscat rather than unverified import removes both compliance risk and customs clearance delay.
