Product Description:

The 4D1166.00-590 is a human-machine interface panel produced by B & R Automation and belongs to the 4D PanelWare Panels series. Acting as the front-end control point in an automation cell, the unit lets an operator send commands, view process information, and acknowledge alarms from a protected enclosure. Its keypad and graphic display make it suitable for machine tools, packaging lines, and other equipment that require direct on-machine interaction.

The panel draws 150 mA at 24 VDC, so low-power supply lines inside a control cabinet are sufficient for operation. A CFL backlight is used, providing even illumination across the LCD. The display is LCD, graphics capable, and renders at 128 × 240 pixels, which supports both bitmap pictograms and text characters. Front protection is rated IP65, meaning the aluminum bezel resists dust ingress and high-pressure water jets when mounted correctly. The keypad area includes 16 keys with LEDs that can be mapped to programmable machine functions and illuminated for status feedback. With a mounting depth of only 38.6 mm, the device can be fitted into shallow door panels without interfering with internal wiring.

The screen can switch to 16 lines × 40 chars text mode when detailed messages are required. Navigation is handled by 5 keys arranged as a cursor cluster, while a 12-key block provides direct numeric entry for setpoints or recipe codes. An additional 14 user-defined keys, each with integrated LEDs, allow context-sensitive control. The panel is intended for vertical orientation, so legends remain upright on cabinet doors. Overall dimensions measure 326 mm in height and 214 mm in width, giving a tall, narrow footprint that fits standardized operator stations. This layout leaves adequate space behind the enclosure for wiring troughs.
