Product Description:

The 4MPBRA.0000-00 is a mechanical accessory produced by B & R Automation for the 4MP Mobile Panels series. Within an automation cell, the part functions as a fixed storage and charging location for a handheld operator panel, allowing the panel to be docked when hands-free operation is preferred and safeguarding it against accidental impacts. By matching the mechanical interface used on every 4MP Mobile Panel, the bracket keeps device handling consistent across multiple stations and simplifies ergonomic placement on machine frames or control cabinets.

The mounting plate has a depth of 109 mm, so it projects only a short distance from the surface and avoids interfering with walkways or guarding. A height of 305 mm and a width of 140 mm set the contact area that supports the HMI housing and distributes load over the panel’s back cover. Its mass is limited to 680 g, which simplifies installation on light sheet-metal doors without requiring reinforcement. Fabrication from St37 carbon steel provides adequate tensile strength for repeated docking cycles and resists deformation when operators press the panel into place. Each dimension stays inside the panel’s outline so cable glands and emergency-stop actuators mounted on the HMI rim remain accessible after docking.

A powder-coated finish shields the steel from corrosion while adding a semi-gloss appearance that visually matches the molded housing of the portable panel. The designated wall mount orientation positions the connector recess upward, which helps prevent debris from settling in the contacts when the station is not active. Because the accessory is supplied directly by B & R Automation, sourcing and documentation align with the mobile panel itself. All fastener patterns are pre-aligned to the envelope used by the series so the panel can move between fixed and mobile use without additional adapters.
