Product Description:

The 4PP120.1043-K6 is a human-machine interface panel from B&R Automation within the 4PP Power Panels series. It combines an integrated color display, touch sensor, and embedded controller to deliver operator input and visualization for production machinery sequences in industrial automation lines. It serves as the front-end for B&R PLCs, allowing status monitoring, recipe selection, and parameter adjustment through its resistive touch surface. It is suited for stations where operators need direct access to alarms, setpoints, and process screens.

Its display subsystem features a 10.4 in diagonal active matrix constructed on a Color TFT platform. The native resolution of 640 x 480 pixels pairs with a brightness of 350 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 600:1, maintaining legible graphics under normal shop-floor lighting. A CCFL backlight delivers uniform illumination across the 256-color palette, while the analog resistive touchscreen accepts gloved input and transmits 78% of incident light to the panel. External storage is available through a Type I CompactFlash slot, and two USB ports plus a dedicated RS232 interface support removable media and legacy devices.

Control logic is handled by a Geode SC2200 processor operating at 266 MHz. The CPU provides computing capacity for local visualization tasks while maintaining communication with attached control equipment, so a separate local computer is not required for routine interface processing. Network connectivity is provided by an Ethernet controller that supports transfer rates of 10/100 Mbit/s, allowing the panel to appear on standard switched networks for SCADA access or PLC programming. The entire assembly is powered from a single 24 VDC source, so it can share the same supply rail as sensors and safety relays within a control cabinet.
