Product discontinuation from 1 February 2026 - Siemens Comfort Panels 6AV2124

• Siemens has announced the end-of-life for  SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels in the 6AV2124 series. The models affected include the KP400 Comfort, KTP400 Comfort, TP700 Comfort, KP700 Comfort, TP900 Comfort, KP900 Comfort, TP1200 Comfort, KP1200 Comfort, TP1500 Comfort, KP1500 Comfort, TP1900 Comfort and TP2200 Comfort. 

   

• For the 4"- bis 12" models, P.M 400 will apply from 1 February 2026. The 15"- bis 22" models have already reached this status since 1 October 2024.

   

• P.M 400 stands for ‘Product Discontinuation Notice’. The panels are no longer actively marketed, but will initially remain available as new parts until the product is discontinued. At the same time, the ten-year spare parts commitment comes into effect.

   

• Product discontinuation (P.M 410) is provisionally scheduled for December 2027. The spare parts phase will commence thereafter; new parts will then generally no longer be available as standard.

   

• Operators should now check the part numbers currently in use, their criticality and the migration effort involved. A coordinated approach combining repairs, replacement units, stockpiling and planned modernisation is advisable.

The Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels serve as operator and monitoring devices. They display machine statuses, process data and operating sequences directly at the system. Maintenance engineers use the Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels for diagnostics, operation and fault analysis.

This affects Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels in sizes ranging from 4" bis 22". For the 4" bis 12" Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels, the product end-of-life announcement applies from 31 January 2026. Milestone P.M 400 will take effect on 1 February 2026. The Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels in sizes 15" bis 22" will have reached P.M 400 as early as 1 October 2024. Siemens has designated the Siemens SIMATIC Unified Comfort Panels as the successor products.

Legend:

• P.M 300 indicates that the product is available for delivery. The product can be ordered as normal.
• P.M 400 indicates that the product is being phased out. The spare parts supply commitment begins.
• P.M 410 indicates that the product has been discontinued. New parts are then usually no longer available.
• P.M 490 marks the end of the manufacturer's spare parts supply.
• P.M 500 brings the product life cycle to a complete end.

The phase-out of Siemens Comfort Panels does not necessitate immediate migration. Operators initially gain planning time thanks to P.M 400. This time should be put to good use. Critical Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels require clear prioritisation.

EICHLER can repair faulty Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels. In addition, tested replacement units help to mitigate the impact of unplanned breakdowns. This reduces the pressure to undertake modernisation projects at short notice. Purchasing managers avoid unnecessary immediate investments. Maintenance staff ensures the continued operability of existing systems.

Changes to the status of Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels require transparency. System operators should record the Siemens part numbers of the panels installed. This is followed by an assessment based on criticality, availability and the effort involved in migration.

A coordinated approach combines repairs, stock management and planned modernisation. EICHLER bridges the gap between the manufacturer's lifecycle and the reality of the system. This ensures that Siemens SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels remain manageable right up until their planned decommissioning.
