🧠 What are Siemens Advanced HMIs

Advanced HMIs are high-performance operator panels used for:

🖥️ advanced supervision of industrial processes

⚙️ full machine control

🔧 parameter management and diagnostics

🚨 complex alarm handling

👉 They are designed for systems requiring higher operational capabilities than basic HMIs.

⚙️ Main technical features – 6AV6 series

Devices belonging to the 6AV6 family are characterized by:

• advanced graphical interfaces
• color displays with higher resolution
• integration with SIMATIC S7 PLCs
• PROFIBUS and Industrial Ethernet communication
• compatibility with SCADA systems (WinCC)

👉 For many years, they have been the standard for advanced industrial applications.

⚠️ Production continuity: the role of Advanced HMIs

Advanced HMIs are often still installed in operating plants.

A failure may cause:

❌ loss of advanced machine control

❌ diagnostic difficulties

❌ downtime in complex systems

❌ loss of operational data

👉 These are critical devices for production continuity.
