Quick Take
If you're selecting an operator interface panel for a PLC or HMI setup, the biggest split is between a panel that matches your controller ecosystem and a panel that matches your installation environment. The four panels here span a listed price range from $685.35 to $900.00, and each brings a different starting point: a Siemens CNC control panel, a Siemens Simatic touch panel, a Danfoss DM1000 display, and a 19-inch stainless-steel touchscreen from Hope Industrial Systems.

The price spread between the lowest and highest listed panels is $214.65. The Siemens 6AV6641 touch panel is the most affordable, while the Hope Industrial 19-inch unit sits at the top of the range.
Decision Matrix
- Stick with Siemens CNC: Choose the Siemens 6FC5303-1AF10-8AA0 Operator Panel if your controller platform is Siemens and your machine uses CNC-style operator control.
- Stay with Siemens Simatic: Choose the Siemens 6AV6641-0CA01-0AX1 Touch Panel if you want a new Simatic touch panel and you already work in the Simatic environment.
- Match a Danfoss DM1000: Choose the Danfoss DM1000 Display if your automation system is built around the DM1000 controller platform.
- Need a large touchscreen: Choose the Hope Industrial HIS-UM19-STAH if you need a 19-inch touchscreen and a stainless-steel operator interface.
Product Notes
SIEMENS 6FC5303-1AF10-8AA0 Operator Panel
This Siemens operator panel is aimed at CNC industrial control, and it is listed as New - Open box. It comes from a facility that never went into operation, and Maxor Industrial has inspected the unit. The original factory box is not included, so if that matters for your spare-part storage, plan accordingly. The panel's controller platform is Siemens, and the model number is 6FC5303-1AF10-8AA0. It is a solid pick if you need a Siemens CNC operator interface and can accept open-box condition to stay near the $699.00 listed price.
6AV6641-0CA01-0AX1 1PCS Siemens HMI Touch Panel
This is the least expensive panel in this comparison, listed at $685.35. It is a new Siemens HMI touch panel from Germany, with the Simatic controller platform and the manufacturer part number 6AV6641-0CA01-0AX1. If you are already using Siemens Simatic components, this touch panel is a direct fit. The model field shows 'Simatic,' while the manufacturer part number is 6AV6641-0CA01-0AX1, so use that part number for precise tracking. As a new unit, it avoids the open-box caveats of some other options here.
Danfoss DM1000 Display DM1000T-0-1-0-0
If your control system is built on the Danfoss DM1000 controller platform, this display is a natural companion. It is listed at $700.00 and comes as New - Open box, fully functional but without accessories. The model number is DM1000T-0-1-0-0, with manufacturer part number 11223957. For a Danfoss-based project, this gives you the platform-matched display without stepping up to the higher price of the 19-inch option. Because it is open-box and without accessories, factor in the cost of any mounting hardware or cables you may need.
HOPE INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS HIS-UM19-STAH Operator Interface Panel
The Hope Industrial Systems HIS-UM19-STAH is the most expensive panel here at $900.00, but it is also the only one with a 19-inch touchscreen in this group. The title specifies 100-240 VAC input, and it is built with Nema 4 IP65/66 stainless steel construction, which makes it a stronger candidate for industrial environments that need a sealed, stainless interface. It is listed as brand new in box. The main trade-off is the higher listed price, so this panel makes sense when you need the larger touchscreen and stainless-steel build rather than a bare-bones HMI.
Final Recommendation
If you are building or replacing a Siemens Simatic touch panel on a budget, the Siemens 6AV6641-0CA01-0AX1 is the straightforward pick at $685.35. If you need to match a Danfoss DM1000 controller, the Danfoss DM1000 Display at $700.00 is the ecosystem-specific choice. For a CNC-oriented Siemens controller, the 6FC5303 Operator Panel at $699.00 gives you the Siemens CNC interface. And when your priority is a large, stainless-steel touchscreen for a demanding environment, the Hope Industrial HIS-UM19-STAH at $900.00 is the one to choose.
