Product Description:

B & R Automation produces the 4D1165.00-K06 operator interface unit within the 4D PanelWare Panels series. The panel combines a monochrome graphic display with onboard processing and fieldbus links so machine operators can view status data, enter commands, and adjust settings directly at the installation site. In an automation cell, the device functions as the primary human-machine access point, translating keypad or touch inputs into control messages and returning visual feedback during normal operation.

The display renders graphics at a resolution of 128 x 240 pixels, giving enough detail for alarms, bar graphs, and soft keys. A CFL backlight illuminates the screen so it remains legible in dim enclosures. Volatile storage consists of 1 MB of SRAM, and this area holds variables and trend data that must be accessed with minimal latency. Nonvolatile program space is supplied by 512 KB of flash memory, allowing the application to survive power cycles without external media. The panel operates from a nominal input of 24 VDC, making it compatible with the standard control-cabinet power rail. When text-only presentation is adequate, the controller can switch to a 16-line by 40-character mode, which conserves graphic processing bandwidth and improves screen update times.

Data exchange with higher-level controllers is handled by 1 isolated CAN interface for deterministic bus traffic. Point-to-point service access is available through 2 RS232 ports, while multi-drop field wiring can be connected to an isolated RS485/RS422 port. There is an integrated real-time clock so time stamps in event logs remain accurate after power loss. These interfaces allow the panel to log events locally, exchange data with supervisory controls, and support synchronized machine operation without separate timing hardware.
