Product Description Applications of Operator Panels OP7 and OP17 allow operating states, current process values OP7 and OP17 and malfunctions of a connected PLC to be visualized. In addition, inputs can be made on the OP which can be written directly to the PLC. Some functions relating to machine diagnostics can also be executed on the Operator Panel.
