Making the mounting cutout
Note
Stability of the mounting cutout
The material in the area of the mounting cutout must provide sufficient strength to guarantee
the lasting and safe mounting of the HMI device.
The force of the mounting clips or operation of the device may not lead to deformation of the
material in order to achieve the degrees of protection described below.
Degrees of protection
The degrees of protection of the HMI device can only be guaranteed if the following
requirements are met:
● Material thickness at the mounting cutout for a protection rating of IP65 or Front face only
Type 4X/Type 12 (indoor use only): 2 mm to 6 mm.
● Permitted deviation from plane at the mounting cutout: ≤ 0.5 mm
This condition must be met for the mounted HMI device.
● Permitted surface roughness in the area of the seal: ≤ 120 µm (R
z
120)
Mounting compatibility
The mounting cutouts of the Basic panels are compatible with the mounting cutouts of the
following SIMATIC HMI devices:
