Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the right HMI panel for your application:
| Requirement | Recommended Model | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Direct replacement, same specs | 6AV7872-1CE54-0AF0 | Original model – best choice |
| Budget-conscious, basic visualization | 6AV2124-0GC01-0AX0 (KTP700) | Smaller display, fewer features |
| Larger display needed | 6AV2124-0JC01-0AX0 (KTP900) | 9″ display, PROFINET native |
| Third-party / cost reduction | Weintek MT8071iE | Requires Siemens Ethernet driver |
| Legacy panel retrofit | 6AV7872-1BD54-0AF0 | Same series, verify cutout dimensions |

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is the 6AV7872-1CE54-0AF0 still in production?
A: Please contact us to confirm current production status and lead times. We maintain stock of both new and refurbished units.
Q: Can I use a KTP700 as a direct replacement?
A: The KTP700 (6AV2124-0GC01-0AX0) is functionally compatible for basic applications but has a smaller display and fewer I/O options. Engineering rework in TIA Portal is required.
Q: What is the difference between SMART IE V2 and V3?
A: V3 offers improved processing speed, updated communication stack, and broader TIA Portal version support compared to V2.
Q: Do you supply refurbished units?
A: Yes. Refurbished units are available with full inspection reports. Please specify your preference when inquiring.
Q: Can this panel connect to non-Siemens PLCs?
A: Yes, via third-party Ethernet communication drivers. Contact us for driver compatibility details.
