Description
The Siemens 6AV2124-1QC02-0AX0 is a SIMATIC HMI KTP1200 Basic Color PN (2nd Generation Basic Panel) — a 12-inch TFT color display with both function keys (F-keys) and resistive touch screen, designed for cost-effective machine-level operation and monitoring in PROFINET (Ethernet) environments.
- KTP1200 Basic Color PN → 12″ widescreen TFT (1280 × 800 WXGA), 16 million colors, Keypad (22 membrane F-keys + cursor/num pad) + Touch, PROFINET RJ45 interface (no MPI/DP — Basic Panels are PN-only), configured with TIA Portal (WinCC Basic/Comfort/Engineering — “Basic Panels” license included in TIA Portal starter/engineering sw).
- Part of the SIMATIC HMI Basic Panel 2nd Gen family (replaces older TP170B/TP177B micro panels in new designs — not direct pin/software compatible but function-wise a modern replacement).
- Not a Comfort Panel — Basic Panels have limited script support, no recipes/archiving onboard (can use PLC-side archiving), but cover 90% of standard machine HMI needs at lower cost.
The KTP1200 Basic is typically used on packaging machines, filling lines, test stands, and OEM equipment where a larger 12″ screen with both keys and touch is preferred for operator familiarity and quick pushbutton access plus screen navigation.
Key Features
- Display: 12″ TFT Color — 1280 × 800 (WXGA — 16:10), 16M colors

- Interface: 1 × RJ45 10/100 Mbps PROFINET (RT — real-time class 1)
- Configuration Software: TIA Portal V13 SP1 Upd8 or later (V14/V15/V16/V17 recommended) — requires “WinCC (Basic/Comfort/Advanced)” with Basic Panels enabled — older WinCC Flexible CANNOT configure Basic/Comfort 2nd Gen panels!
- Supply Voltage: 24 V DC (18–30 V DC)
- Front Protection: IP65 (front); IP20 (rear)
- Country of Origin: Germany / Hungary / China (Siemens Digital Factory)

⚠️ Critical Notes:
TIA Portal Required — No WinCC Flexible!: 6AV2124-1QC02-0AX0 (KTP1200 Basic 2nd Gen) CANNOT be configured with WinCC Flexible 2008. You mustuse TIA Portal V13 SP1 Upd8+ (V14/V15/V16/V17 recommended) + WinCC Basic (or Comfort/Advanced) license. If you only have WinCC Flexible — this panel is NOT compatible. PN-only (No MPI/DP): Basic Panels (2nd Gen) have only PROFINET (Ethernet RJ45) — no MPI/DP interface. Your S7-300/400/1200/1500 must communicate via Ethernet (PROFINET IO / S7 communication over TCP/IP). If you need MPI/DP HMI connection — you need a Comfort Panel (e.g., TP1200 Comfort 6AV2124-1DC01-0AX0 with “-2???” having MPI/DP+PN) or legacy TP177B/TP170B (discontinued). Project Transfer: Use Ethernet crossover/straight (auto-MDIX) cable PC ↔ panel RJ45 → assign temp IP in Boot Menu (or via PRONETA/USB if supported) → download from TIA Portal. No MPI cable needed/onboard. Power Supply: 24 V DC (typical panel-mount PSU 24V 2–4 A shared with other low-power devices). Ensure stable 24V DC filtered supply — voltage dip during startup can cause reboot. Legacy Replacement: If you are replacing an old TP170B / TP177B (6AV6545-… / 6AV6640-…)— note: screen size/resolution differs (TP170B=7″ 320×240; KTP1200=12″ 1280×800), wiring changes (PN vs MPI), and project must be rebuilt in TIA Portal (no direct upward conversion from WinCC Flexible — migration wizard partial help at best). Often treated as new HMI build.
