Product Overview

The Siemens 6AV8100-0BB00-0AA1​ is a SIMATIC SCD 1297-ET, the 12-inch (31 cm) color TFT LCD monitor with resistive touch in Siemens’ 6AV8100 “SCD” flat-panel monitor family, engineered for flush-mount installation into cabinet doors, machine fascias, cleanroom walls, and SIMATIC rack-PC enclosures. While the 6AV2 / 6AV6 645 / 6AV6 545 / 6AV6 645 HMI families (OP/TP/MP/KTP) embed the runtime and talk fieldbus to a PLC, the Siemens 6AV8100-0BB00-0AA1​ is a pure display peripheral: it receives VGA or DVI video from a host — most commonly a SIMATIC Rack PC (547B, 647, 847) or any industrial PC with standard graphics out — and, on the -ET touch variant, returns touch coordinates over USB or RS232 to the host’s touch driver. The “-0BB00″ segment places this unit in the 12″ + touch tier of the SCD ladder: 6AV8100-0BA00-0AA1 = SCD 1297-E (12”, no touch, IP65 front), while Siemens 6AV8100-0BB00-0AA1​ = SCD 1297-ET (12″, resistive touch, IP54 front — the touch overlay drops the ingress rating from 65 to 54). The “-0AA1” suffix denotes the variant without a power supply brick; the parallel 6AV8101-0BB00-0BA1 ships with a 230 V AC PSU, while the -0AA1 expects the user to feed 12 V DC, 24 V DC, or an external AC/DC brick — a deliberate SKU split so OEMs and cabinet builders can standardize the monitor BOM across 24 V DC rack-PC cabinets and 230 V AC standalone desks without carrying two different panel types.The Siemens 6AV8100-0BB00-0AA1​ runs an 800 × 600 native panel with a scaling DSP that accepts 30–97 kHz horizontal scan, meaning it auto-scales VGA inputs from 640 × 480 up through 1024 × 768 down to the 800 × 600 native — useful when the host IPC’s graphics card is swapped during a rack-PC refresh and temporarily outputs a non-native resolution. On-screen controls (OSD) live on the rear panel alongside the video and touch connectors; a first-power auto-adjust aligns to the attached graphics card. The unit is listed End Product Lifecycle on Siemens Industry Mall with successor 6AV8100-0BB00-1AA1​ available, which makes the -0AA1 a strategic spare for plants that standardized SCD 1297-ET on SIMATIC rack-PC cabinets and cannot justify re-cutting the door for a newer panel or migrating to a panel-PC. Weight is 6.0 kg, country of origin Japan, certified UL1950 / CE, and the flush-mount form factor uses an O-ring seal in the bezel groove to maintain the IP54 front rating when correctly installed.
