Wake Industrial LLC is not an authorized distributor of this product.
The B & R Automation 4PP065.IF24-1 is part of the 4PP Power Panels series and weighs 65 grams. This panel features three interfaces including an RS232 port with a 9-pin DSUB connector and handshake lines, and an RS485/RS422 port for distances up to 500 meters. It also has a PROFIBUS DP slave interface with a maximum transfer rate of 12 Mbit/s and an IP20 degree of protection.
Internal Product Review
The 4PP065.IF24-1 is a communication interface module for 4PP Power Panels, combining an RS232 channel with an RS485/RS422 channel for flexible serial integration. The PROFIBUS DP slave interface supports up to 12 Mbit/s, providing fast and dependable fieldbus exchange in automation networks. IP20 protection and a switchable integrated terminating resistor make the design especially practical for controlled cabinet installations.

Product Description:
The 4PP065.IF24-1 belongs to the 4PP Power Panels series manufactured by B & R Automation. Within a machine control cabinet, this panel module supplies the physical communication links that tie a controller to downstream drives, sensors, and higher-level networks. By combining multiple serial and fieldbus lines in a single housing, it supports coordinated data exchange that is essential for visualization, diagnostics, and deterministic motion tasks in industrial automation cells. Concentrating these connections in one module also helps keep panel wiring organized when several device classes must exchange data at the same time.
An enclosure rating of IP20 limits installation to protected locations but permits direct backplane mounting without additional sealing hardware. Interface 1 is an asynchronous channel that terminates on a 9-pin DSUB connector; it implements hardware flow control with RTS and CTS handshake lines, uses the RS232 signaling standard, and moves data at rates up to 115.2 kbit/s. This port handles local service equipment or point-to-point device links, and it suits short serial runs where simple device-to-device communication is needed. Interface 2 is intended for longer multi-drop wiring; it operates with the differential RS485/RS422 standard, and node spacing can reach 500 m on twisted-pair cable. A switchable integrated terminating resistor eliminates the need for external end-of-line components, and LED status indicators on the front edge show data transfer activity for every interface so faults can be identified quickly.
Interface 3 addresses controller-level traffic by acting as a PROFIBUS DP slave managed by an ASIC SPC3 controller. Signals exit through a 9-pin female DSUB and may span 1000 m on properly rated cabling. Transfer speeds scale up to 12 Mbit/s, while an internal 1.5 kB RAM buffer stores cyclic process data between bus scans and helps maintain steady communication during repeated network updates. The compact assembly weighs only 65 g, so it adds little mass to a hinged panel door or DIN rail and remains easy to place in space-limited cabinets.
