Siemens 6AV3515-1EK30-1AA0 Operator Panel

The Siemens 6AV3515-1EK30-1AA0 provides graphical operator control for industrial processes. This panel measures 310 mm in width and 240 mm in height. It has a depth of 65 mm, so it fits standard panel cutouts easily. The unit weighs 2.3 kg, making mounting secure and stable.

Display Specifications and Touch Technology

This operator panel features a 10.4-inch TFT color display with 640 by 480 pixel resolution. The Siemens 6AV3515-1EK30-1AA0 uses resistive touch technology for reliable gloved-hand operation. The display achieves a brightness of 350 cd/m² for good outdoor visibility. A viewing angle of 70 degrees in all directions ensures clear readability. LED backlighting provides consistent illumination without inverter noise.

Internal Architecture and Memory Configuration

The panel contains three separate circuit boards inside its metal housing. One board handles display driving, while another manages touch processing. The third board runs the application software and communication stacks. The Siemens 6AV3515-1EK30-1AA0 includes 16 MB of SDRAM for program execution. It also provides 8 MB of flash memory for persistent screen and tag data.

Communication Interfaces and Power Requirements

You will find one PROFIBUS DP port on the rear panel of this operator panel. This port supports 12 Mbit/s for fast cyclic data exchange. The Siemens 6AV3515-1EK30-1AA0 also includes one RS-232 serial port for printer connection. A USB 1.1 port allows program uploads and data logging to memory sticks. The panel stores 150 µF of capacitance for power supply filtering. It draws 700 mA at 24V DC during normal operation.

Environmental Tolerance and Mounting Details

You can mount this operator panel flush into a control panel door easily. The device operates reliably from 0°C to 45°C ambient temperature. It tolerates humidity levels up to 90 percent without any condensation issues. The Siemens 6AV3515-1EK30-1AA0 has an IP65 rating on the front panel for washdown resistance. The rear body carries an IP20 rating for internal cabinet protection.
