Overview 1
1.1 Product overview
The SIMATIC HMI device "MP 377 15" Touch daylight readable" offers a special display and
touch technology. This technology offers a brighter display that lets operators monitor and
operate even under very bright light conditions. Good readability is ensured even in direct
sunlight due to the transflective properties of the display. You can dim the backlighting of the
display on the display itself as well as externally and centrally via process value (tag), for
example by means of a potentiometer via the PLC. This means you can use the panel in
control cabins for drilling rigs and in control stations onboard ships.
You can operate the HMI device outdoors if it is installed in a suitable control cabinet. The
necessary, extended ambient temperature range during operation can be created with the
help of active heating and cooling in the control cabinet. We recommend that you consult an
experienced control cabinet designer for appropriate sizing. Intelligent control of heating and
cooling is available with the retrofit panel option "TEK - Temperature Extension Kit".
Certifications are in preparation for operation in the Oil&Gas industry as well as applications
in shipbuilding. These include ATEX Zone 2/22, Class I, Div. 2 as well as country-specific
shipbuilding certificates.
The display offers a large viewing angle that makes for fatigue-free operating and
monitoring. Mounted fans make it possible that you can install the HMI device vertically as
well as inclined in a control cabinet.

Operation in potentially explosive atmosphere, zone 2 and 22
DANGER
Degree of hazard
There is an explosion hazard when operating an HMI device that does not have explosion
protection.
Operate the HMI device in potentially explosive zones 2 and 22 only if it has been approved
and certified for such environments.
If an HMI device is operated in potentially explosive atmospheres of zone 22, pay attention
to the product information "Use in potentially explosive atmospheres of zones 2 and 22." The
product information is available at the following Internet address:

WARNING
Personal injury and damage to property
Personal injury and property damage can occur in potentially explosive atmospheres if an
electric plug is disconnected from the HMI device while the system is in operation.
In potentially explosive atmospheres, always turn off power to the HMI device before
disconnecting any connectors.
Potentially explosive atmosphere zones 2 and 22
Areas subject to explosion hazard are divided into zones. The zones are differentiated
according to the probability of the existence of an explosive atmosphere.
Zone Degree of hazard Example
2 Explosive gaseous atmosphere occurs only
seldom and for a short period
Areas around flanged pipe joints
with flat gaskets in closed rooms
22 Area in which a potentially explosive
atmosphere in the form of a cloud in the air
containing flammable dust does not usually
occur or occurs only briefly during normal
operation .
