Description

Technical Specifications

Main Features and Advantages

The Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0​ delivers exceptional value to machine builders and plant operators by packing enterprise-grade HMI capabilities into a cost-optimized, industrially hardened 9-inch panel. Its defining characteristic is the hybrid input architecture—combining a high-resolution resistive touchscreen with 8 programmable function keys with multi-color LED backlighting. This dual-modality approach gives operators the flexibility to interact directly with graphical elements on-screen while retaining the tactile certainty and muscle-memory benefits of physical buttons for critical commands such as Start, Stop, Reset, and Emergency functions. In real-world factory conditions where gloves, moisture, or vibration might compromise pure touch operation, the Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0​ ensures that operators can always command the machine efficiently.Brilliant Visual Presentation: The Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0​ features a 9-inch TFT widescreen display rendering 65,536 colors at 800×480 resolution, delivering crisp, vibrant process graphics that make complex data instantly comprehensible. The LED backlight offers 20,000 hours of mean time between failures and supports adjustable brightness to adapt to varying ambient light conditions—from dimly lit machine enclosures to brightly illuminated shop floors. This visual clarity significantly reduces operator error rates and accelerates decision-making, directly contributing to improved production efficiency.Seamless Siemens Ecosystem Integration: The Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0​ is natively engineered to communicate via PROFINET with Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 and S7-1500 PLCs, creating a perfectly harmonized controller-HMI pair that is configured within the unified TIA Portal engineering environment. This co-engineered synergy eliminates protocol translation layers, reduces commissioning time, and ensures rock-solid data integrity between the control logic and the operator interface. For OEMs standardizing on Siemens automation platforms, the Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0​ represents the most streamlined visualization solution available.Industrial-Grade Durability: With an IP65-rated front bezel, the Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0​ resists dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for deployment in wash-down areas, outdoor kiosks, and harsh manufacturing environments. The 1.13 kg lightweight yet robust plastic housing withstands the mechanical stresses of industrial installations, while the 0°C to +50°C operating temperature range (with vertical mounting) accommodates most factory-floor conditions. Certifications spanning CE (Europe), cULus (North America), RCM (Australia/New Zealand), and KC (Korea) ensure global market acceptance for the Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0.Efficient ARM Processing & Low Power Consumption: Powered by an ARM processor and drawing a mere 5.5 W typical power from a 24 V DC supply, the Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0​ operates coolly and reliably without internal fans, eliminating a primary wear component and extending the product’s service life. The 10 MB user memory and 256 KB recipe memory provide ample space for screens, alarms, recipes, and data logs in typical mid-size machine applications, while the USB 2.0 port (supporting up to 16 GB devices) enables portable data archiving, project backup, and easy firmware updates.Comprehensive HMI Functionality: The Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0​ supports 100 screens, 800 variables, 1000 alarms across 32 categories, vector graphics, bar graphs, curve charts, screen templates, and recipe management—delivering SCADA-class functionality in a compact Basic Panel. Configurable via WinCC Basic V13 SP1 or higher within the TIA Portal, engineers can leverage a rich library of pre-built faceplates, graphical objects, and communication drivers to accelerate project development. The hardware real-time clock with 6-week buffer backup ensures accurate time-stamping of alarms and data logs even during power interruptions.Flexible Mounting & Ergonomic Design: The Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0​ supports both vertical and horizontal mounting orientations with a maximum allowable tilt angle of 35° without external ventilation, adapting to diverse cabinet and machine designs. The 251×166 mm cutout dimensions and 267×182 mm front panel footprint make it a direct fit for standard 9-inch HMI cutouts, simplifying retrofits and new installations alike. The Siemens 6AV2123-2JB03-0AX0​ truly represents the intersection of flexibility, performance, and economy in the industrial HMI landscape.
