Description The "E-Stand" (product release) identifies products with the same order number but with changes compared with the version as delivered. These can be upwardly compatible enhancement of functions or the use of new components. The "E-Stand" of an operator panel is given on the rating plate (on the back of the operator panel). There are two different types of rating plate depending on the operator panel:
Fig. 01: Operator panel with "E-Stand" 1
Fig. 02: Operator panel with "E-Stand" 3
Note
The X stands for the first figure in a series and at the same time identifies the "E-Stand". In the figure X, 4, 5, 6, the X stands for the number 3 and thus means "E-Stand" 3.
Before installing the panel, note whether the panel is listed in the certificate and whether type-specific changes have to be made. Without such changes the panel does not have a shipbuilding certificate.
1. Information about the shipbuilding certificate The classification societies are responsible for classifying ships. A ship must be classified before it can sail for the merchant navy and before it can be insured along with its cargo. SIMATIC HMI Panels are certified by the following classification societies.

2.Current HMI panels with shipbuilding certificate The following panels have been certified by various shipbuilding classification societies.
Note
Note that in some panels, for example, an additional EMC filter or even lightning protection is required for the power supply for these panels to be certified. Details about shipbuilding certification are available in the relevant certificates.
The panels in the table below are currently sold by Siemens.
3. Discontinued HMI panels with shipbuilding certificate
The following panels have been certified by various shipbuilding classification societies.
Note
Note that in some panels, for example, an additional EMC filter or even lightning protection is required for the power supply for these panels to be certified. Details about shipbuilding certification are available in the relevant certificates.
The panels in the following table are discontinued and to a certain extent can no longer be procured as new parts.
Product information This entry contains all the SIMATIC HMI panels that have an FM certificate for the explosion protection standard. The FM certification is valid exclusively for North America.
Note
In Europe, the explosion protection guidelines in compliance withATEX are valid. More information on the panels that Siemens currently provides with ATEX certification is available in Entry ID: 291285.
Pay attention to the explosion protection ID on the back of the device before installing the panels. Panels mentioned in the certificate should not be used automatically in the hazardous areas with potentially explosive atmosphere. What counts here is the ID on the back of the device.
1. Information on FM certification
The classification of the explosion protection in the NEC (National Electric Code) is standard in the United States of America and that in the CEC (Canadian Electric Code) in Canada.
The hazardous areas/divisions with potentially explosive atmosphere are defined in the NEC 500. In addition, in the NEC 505, the hazardous areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are divided into zones in the same way as in ATEX and have practically identical types of protection. The specifications in the NEC 500 regulate conventional Ex classification (Class Division Model) and include the classification of the new zone model that is based on regulations in Europe and the IEC. Based on this, testing organizations like FM (and FMRC - Factory Mutual Research Corporation) create their own sets of standards.
2. Current HMI panels with FM certificate The following panels have been tested in compliance with the FM certification NI Class I, Division 2, Group ABCD and Class I, Zone 2, Group IIC.
Note
Details about FM certification are available in the relevant certificates.
The panels in the following table are sold by Siemens (as at 05/2009).
3. Discontinued HMI panels with FM certificate The following panels have been tested in compliance with the FM certification NI Class I, Division 2, Group ABCD and Class I, Zone 2, Group IIC.
Note
Details about FM certification are available in the relevant certificates.
The panels in the following table are discontinued and cannot be ordered any more.
4. Explanation of terms In the following, we briefly explain only the relevant designations.
Nonincendive (NI) This type of protection is provided specially for Division 2 and specifies that during normal operation no sparks and no hot surface temperatures are generated. The type of protection is comparable with the type of protection "n" in compliance with EN 50021.
Class I, Division 2 (NEC 500) Areas where dangerous concentrations of flammable gases or vapors do not exist under normal operating conditions.
Class I, Zone 2 (NEC 505)
Areas where dangerous concentrations of flammable gases or vapors do not exist under normal operating conditions.
Group A, B, C, D (NEC 500) The division into "Groups" refers to the hazardous materials:
A = Air/gas mixture with acetylene
B = Air/gas mixture with hydrogen
C = Air/gas mixture with ethylene
D = Air/gas mixture with propane
Group IIC (NEC 505) The division of the "Group" (NEC 505) is equivalent to the explosion group in the ATEX guidelines. Hydrogen is defined as a typical gas in explosion group IIC.
Temperature classes T*
There are six different temperature classes that are specified in detail in compliance with NEC 500-3. The temperature class includes the highest permitted surface temperature of the apparatus and provides information on the ignition temperatures of the inflammable materials.

1. Backup batteries The battery ensures that the internal hardware clock of the operator panel continues to run if the power supply is disrupted. With older operator panels, operating data is also saved in the SRAM. Refer to the individual manual for further information.
Note:
Please use only those batteries listed in this entry because other batteries usually have a different polarity assignment.
1.1 Backup battery 6AV3972-1XB00-0AA0
In each case, make sure you have the correct polarity - see Fig. 01 and Fig. 02.
Note:
The backup battery 6AV3972-1XB00-0AA0 is totally discontinued and no longer aviable as accessorie. Further information about the total discontinuation can be found in Entry ID: 40466415.
1.2 Backup battery W79084-E1001-B2 The backup battery is simply fastened to the operator panel with cable ties. Refer to the appropriate manual of the operator panel for mounting the backup battery.

QUESTION: I would like to transfer a new configuration
onto my line OP. Will my data records be maintained?
ANSWER:
No. When you transfer a new configuration to the line OP, you
delete the configuration memory and all the data records created
on the OP are lost.
Which Siemens department holds the EC conformity declarations for SIMATIC HMI?
Configuration Notes: The EU conformity declarations
are intended solely for the relevant authorities (in Germany it is
the "Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications and Post - Reg
TP"). By affixing the CE mark, we confirm that the product
properties conform to the relevant EU guidelines (e.g. the EMC
directive).
The EC conformity declarations for SIMATIC HMI products are filed
in the following department:
