01 Product Overview
Siemens 6AV6545-0BC15-2AX0 is the SIMATIC HMI TP 170B color Touch Panel. Siemens conformity documentation maps the complete order number to TP 170B, while the official operating instructions provide the hardware, display and interface data used here.
The panel combines a 320 × 240 resistive touch display, Windows CE operating environment, configuration memory and serial/MPI/PROFIBUS communication for local machine operation and visualization.
