Product Description:

The 4PP220.1043-K03 is a human-machine interface panel manufactured by B & R Automation within the 4PP Power Panels series. Installed on control cabinets or machine frames, this unit provides local visualization and input so operators can adjust setpoints, acknowledge alarms, and monitor process variables without accessing the main controller. By combining a display, touchscreen, and communication interfaces in one compact housing, the panel streamlines control architecture and reduces wiring inside industrial automation cells. It is intended for mid-size equipment where centralized PLC logic already exists but a distributed operator station is required for intuitive interaction.

It presents information on a 10.4 in active area that uses color TFT technology to deliver stable brightness and wide viewing angles. Graphics are rendered at 640 x 480 px, a resolution suitable for vector-based mimic diagrams and alarm lists while minimizing cycle time on the controller’s fieldbus. The panel is designed for vertical mounting, so status bars appear at the top and touch targets remain within ergonomic reach of a standing operator. Internal electronics are supplied from 24 VDC, allowing the unit to share the low-voltage power rail common to sensors, relays, and PLC modules.

For data exchange with upstream control hardware, a dedicated RS232 serial channel supports point-to-point messaging such as recipe downloads or diagnostic access. The panel’s input surface uses a resistive construction that accepts gloved operation and avoids false triggers from oil or moisture films common on production floors. During transport or storage, the unit can tolerate temperatures from -20 to 70 °C. The responsive touchscreen supports direct navigation through process screens and alarm pages.
