Siemens 6AV3688-3ED13-0AX0 Push Button Panel

This push button panel provides operator control for Siemens HMI systems. It features programmable buttons for machine functions and process commands. Therefore, this component suits industrial environments requiring robust, tactile user input.

Physical Dimensions and Weight Specifications

The Siemens 6AV3688-3ED13-0AX0 features a rugged panel-mount housing for industrial use. Its width measures 220 mm for standard cutout dimensions. The total depth reaches 65 mm including the rear electronics. Consequently, technicians can install this unit on cabinet doors.

Interface Types and Connection Layout

The Siemens 6AV3688-3ED13-0AX0 provides one PROFIBUS DP port for network communication. A second 24V DC terminal block supplies power to the panel. The front panel carries 16 programmable push buttons with integrated LEDs. Hence, operators can control machines with visual feedback for each action.

Component Count and User Interface Elements

This push button panel contains one main board with a 16-bit microcontroller. The board holds 128 KB of memory for button configuration data. You will also find 16 tactile switches rated for 1 million operations. An onboard LED driver illuminates each button independently.

Energy Storage and Power Consumption

The Siemens 6AV3688-3ED13-0AX0 draws 120 mA from the 24V DC supply. A small capacitor filters noise on the power input line. This storage prevents false button detection from voltage dips. The panel requires no battery for normal operation.

Operating Conditions and Durability

The panel operates in temperatures from 0°C to 50°C. Its front face resists water and dust for harsh factory conditions. Users can label each button using standard foil inserts. This flexibility supports quick machine retooling without hardware changes.
