Product Description:

The 4PP220-1043-K02 is a combined operator panel and PLC manufactured by B&R Automation for the 4PP Power Panels series. Mounted on the front door of a control cabinet, it supplies a single platform for machine visualization, program execution, and manual data entry. By integrating display, touch input, and controller logic, it reduces panel wiring and simplifies installation in packaging, assembly, and process lines. This arrangement also keeps operator interaction and machine control in one place, so status changes and input commands can be handled from the same front-panel device.

Operators view process status on its 10.4 in screen, sized to present multiple graphical objects without crowding. The panel renders images at VGA resolution so each widget retains clear edges and readable text. A color TFT backlight delivers full-color differentiation for alarms and trends. Control electronics receive power from a single 24 VDC supply, allowing the unit to share the same low-voltage rail as sensors and I/O modules. Application code executes in 64 MB of SDRAM, providing headroom for motion libraries and recipe archives, while trend data can be transferred through the RS232 service port. The front bezel is sealed to IP65, so splashed liquids and dust cannot reach the touch surface during washdown sequences. This screen and memory combination supports local visualization tasks without requiring a separate display terminal beside the controller.

System expansion is handled through a 1 aPCI slot, which accepts communication or motion cards when extra fieldbus channels are required. There are 2 USB ports on the rear panel for program download, data logging, or peripheral attachment without opening the cabinet. Non-volatile tasks such as retaining counters or calibration offsets are served by 256 kB of SRAM, so values survive a controlled shutdown. The rear housing carries an IP20 rating, permitting cabinet airflow for heat dissipation while blocking direct finger contact. User input is captured through a resistive touch layer, allowing gloved operation and eliminating the need for external keypads. These rear-side connections and internal resources support routine operation while keeping the operator-facing layout clear and compact.
