KEBA IP706 Industrial HMI
1. Product Description
The KEBA IP706 is a user-friendly industrial human-machine interface (HMI) designed for monitoring and controlling industrial equipment and processes. It’s mainly used in automation scenarios like manufacturing lines, machine tools, packaging systems, and material handling equipment—common in industries such as automotive, food & beverage, and electronics production.
With a compact design and clear touchscreen display, it lets operators easily view real-time equipment status (e.g., motor speed, temperature, or production counts) and send control commands (e.g., starting/stopping a machine or adjusting parameters). It’s built to resist industrial wear and tear, including mild vibration and dust, and fits seamlessly into standard control cabinets or machine panels, making it a practical choice for daily factory operations.
2. Technical Specifications
- Display: 7-inch color touchscreen (800×480 resolution) – clear visibility for status data and easy touch operation
- Processor: 32-bit ARM Cortex-A9 (handles smooth interface navigation and real-time data processing)
- Memory: 512 MB RAM + 4 GB flash storage (enough for storing interface projects and basic operation logs)
- Communication Interfaces: 2 x Ethernet ports, 1 x RS485 port (connects to PLCs, controllers, or other industrial devices)
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to +50°C (works in standard indoor factory environments)
- Dimensions: Compact size (approx. 210 mm × 150 mm × 50 mm) – saves space on machine panels or cabinets
- Protection Features: IP65 front protection (resists dust and water splashes, suitable for factory floor use)
- Operating System: KEBA’s proprietary HMI OS (simple to configure via KEBA’s HMI software)
3. System Introduction
The IP706 is a key component of KEBA’s “Industrial Control & HMI System”—a modular lineup that combines HMIs, controllers, and software to enable seamless human-machine interaction in automation. This system works by linking the IP706 HMI to industrial controllers (like PLCs or motion controllers): the HMI collects real-time data from the controller to display equipment status, and transmits operator commands back to the controller to adjust processes.
In the system, the IP706 acts as a “communication bridge” between operators and machines: it turns complex technical data into easy-to-understand visuals (e.g., graphs, icons, or text) and lets operators control processes without direct contact with mechanical parts. This system is widely used in small to medium-sized automation setups, where intuitive operation and reliable data monitoring are essential for efficient production.
