Older Siemens operator panels such as the OP, TP and MP families are still common on production lines, and the right replacement depends on a few details.
Identify the panel
- Full order number from the rating plate
- Screen size and whether it has keys or touch
- Communication interface: MPI/PROFIBUS or PROFINET
Check the project
A like-for-like panel usually accepts the same project. If you move to another family, expect to convert the project and test it.
