Product Description:

The 4PP480.1505-75 power panel is an operator terminal with integrated control manufactured by B & R Automation for the 4PP Power Panels series. This device combines a display, processor, and touch interface to execute control logic and present machine data directly on the equipment it commands. Within an automation cell, the panel removes the need for a separate PC or controller, allowing compact mounting on the front of an electrical cabinet while maintaining field connectivity through industrial networks. That integrated arrangement keeps the operator interface and control functions in one enclosure, which helps simplify panel layouts on compact machines.

Processing tasks are handled by a Geode LX800 CPU that runs at 500 MHz, a speed adequate for local logic execution and visualization without lag. The image is presented on a 15 in (381 mm) TFT with a native resolution of 1024 × 768, giving clear graphics and alarm texts. Dynamic content is buffered by 8 MB of graphics memory, and the operating system uses 128 MB SDRAM for trend storage and recipe handling. Non-volatile code resides in 2 MB of flash, while 512 kB of SRAM supports retentive variables when power is removed. A contrast ratio of 1000:1 improves readability, and the analog-resistive touch layer permits gloved interaction. One APCI slot allows expansion with I/O or fieldbus cards, and the typical power draw remains at 20 W, minimizing heat.

The aluminum bezel carries a front rating of IP65, so ingress by dust or water jets does not threaten the electronics. Screen visibility in brightly lit work areas is aided by 350 cd/m² of luminance, and an Intel 82551ER controller supplies 10/100 Mbit Ethernet for deterministic data exchange. Current taken from the 24 V DC supply reaches 0.84 A during normal operation, leaving headroom for auxiliary devices powered through the internal bus. The combination of front protection, network connectivity, and readable display output supports use on machines where operators must view status information and enter commands at the point of operation.
