Product Description:

The 4D2024.00.590 is a text display panel produced by B & R Automation for the 4D PanelWare Panels series. Mounted on machine doors or operator stations, it presents simple status messages to plant personnel so that process conditions are visible without opening the enclosure. Within distributed automation architectures it serves strictly as a visual endpoint, handing all logic and data preparation to the upstream controller.

The vacuum-fluorescent display presents alphanumeric data with a 5.0 mm character height that remains legible at typical cabinet distances. Each of its two rows can hold 40 characters, giving a fixed field for alarms and parameter values. The unit draws 130 mA at 24 VDC, and demand rises by a full-load increment of 25 mA when every segment is energized, a detail that affects the sizing of the low-voltage supply. Luminous text appears Green because the phosphor peaks near the 505 nm emission wavelength; this band sits near the eye’s highest daytime sensitivity and reduces fatigue during long shifts. With only two lines available, message organization stays concise, yet the controller can page through longer strings when needed.

The enclosure reaches a depth of 35 mm, while the bezel spans 288 mm in width and 96 mm in height, so the panel fits shallow cut-outs without obstructing internal wiring. Its housing is black to blend with other PanelWare hardware, and the face employs a VFD element that resists ambient light wash-out. Mechanical resilience is verified to 15 g, 11 ms, 3 axes shock pulses under IEC 60068-2-27, and continuous vibration compliance follows IEC 60068-2-6, enabling operation on presses, conveyors, or mobile equipment without extra damping. Together, these dimensional and environmental qualities ensure the display remains readable and electrically stable throughout daily factory service.
