What is 6AV2124-0MC01-0AX0 (TP1200 Comfort)?
The 6AV2124-0MC01-0AX0 is a Siemens SIMATIC HMI TP1200 Comfort, a 12-inch touch panel for machine and plant visualisation. It combines a large widescreen display with robust industrial interfaces (PROFINET + PROFIBUS/MPI) and is widely used for both new machines and as a replacement in existing systems, especially when downtime needs to be resolved quickly.
Technical key data at a glance
The panel features a 12.1" TFT widescreen display with 1280 × 800 resolution and 16 million colours. It is powered by 24 V DC (19.2–28.8 V range) with a typical power consumption of around 20 W.
For engineering, Siemens specifies WinCC Comfort V11 as the configuration environment, based on a Windows CE 6.0 platform.
Display & touch: 12.1" widescreen (1280 × 800)
The panel uses an analog resistive touchscreen, which typically allows operation with gloves or a stylus depending on the application environment. The backlight is rated at approximately 80,000 hours MTBF (at 25 °C), and brightness is dimmable from 0–100%, which is important for long-term industrial use in continuous operation.
Communication: PROFINET (2-port) and PROFIBUS/MPI
For system integration, the device offers Industrial Ethernet / PROFINET with a 2-port switch and a combined RS485/RS422 interface for PROFIBUS and MPI. This allows integration into both modern Ethernet-based architectures and legacy Siemens S7 environments.
Memory, interfaces & media: 12 MB, USB, SD slots
Siemens specifies 12 MB user memory, plus 2 × USB 2.0 ports and 2 × SD card slots. These features support firmware updates, backup/restore procedures, and service-related data handling.
Protection rating & installation: IP65 front, mounting cut-out
The front panel is rated IP65, while the rear is IP20. Typical installation dimensions include a front cut-out of 310 × 221 mm and an installation depth of around 64 mm, which supports straightforward replacement in existing control cabinets without major mechanical changes.
Lifecycle status: phase-out strategy for installed base
Siemens classifies this device in a “Phase Out Announce” lifecycle status, meaning it is transitioning towards end-of-life but is still relevant for installed base support. For operators, this increases the importance of repair strategies, tested replacement units, and spare part planning to maintain system availability.
Repair vs. replacement: reducing downtime
In case of failure, the key factor is minimizing downtime and restoring operability quickly. In practice, tested exchange units or repair services are often more efficient than long troubleshooting cycles. Providers such as EICHLER offer functional testing and warranties of up to 36 months, which can make replacement decisions more predictable from a risk and cost perspective.

For clear identification, the relevant references include MPN 6AV2124-0MC01-0AX0, EICHLER article number K0251526, and EAN 4025515079002.

| Fault description | Possible solution |
|---|---|
| Touch does not respond or only partially responds – what are the first checks? | Typical causes are contamination or moisture on the front panel or an incorrect touch calibration / HMI runtime issue. First steps: clean the panel surface (front is IP65 rated), restart the device, and check the project/runtime status. If a hardware issue is still suspected, use a replacement unit for comparison testing. |
| Display is dark or only faintly visible – what is the common cause? | In many cases the backlight or its control circuit is affected. Siemens specifies a backlight MTBF of 80,000 hours, so ageing effects can occur after long operating times. |
| PROFINET connection not working (no communication with PLC) – what should be checked? | The panel uses Industrial Ethernet with a 2-port switch. Check the correct port, IP configuration, PROFINET device name, switch/link status, and project assignment. |
| PROFIBUS/MPI communication disturbed – what are typical causes? | For RS485-based communication, common issues include missing termination, faulty connectors, incorrect baud rate or station address, and wiring problems. Always verify both physical bus wiring and project parameters. |
| Backup/restore or project transfer fails – what helps fastest? | The panel supports USB and SD storage (2 slots). In practice, try a different storage medium, check file system compatibility, or use another USB stick, then repeat the backup/restore process. |
| When is repair or replacement better than continued troubleshooting? | If visualisation is production-critical or failures occur repeatedly, a tested replacement unit is often the fastest way to restore system availability. This can significantly reduce downtime risk and is typically supported with up to 36 months warranty depending on service offering, making it a more predictable option than prolonged fault analysis. |
What is the 6AV2124-0MC01-0AX0 used for?
It is used for machine and plant visualisation as a TP1200 Comfort with 12" touch display and industrial interfaces—especially as a 1:1 replacement in SIMATIC S7 environments.
Which interfaces are integrated?
It includes PROFINET (2-port switch) and RS485/RS422 for PROFIBUS/MPI, as well as 2× USB 2.0 ports and 2× SD card slots.
Which display specifications are important for replacement?
The panel features a 12.1" display with 1280 × 800 resolution and 16 million colours, an analog resistive touchscreen, and a backlight MTBF of 80,000 hours.
What power supply does the panel require?
It is powered by 24 V DC (19.2–28.8 V range) with a typical power consumption of around 20 W (0.85 A).
Why is the “phase-out” status important for purchasing decisions?
With a Phase Out Announce status, procurement becomes more time-critical. In practice, tested replacement units and repair services help maintain system availability and avoid downtime without immediately requiring a full retrofit.
