Product Description:

The 4XP0000.00-K42 keypad module is produced by B&R Automation for the 4XP Keypad Modules series. It serves as a sealed operator station that converts push-button actions into fieldbus telegrams for machine control. That role makes it useful for start, stop, and acknowledgment commands on automated equipment where a durable front interface is required.

This model operates from 24 VDC ±25% and draws only 240 mA, so it can share a low-current control supply without extra conditioning hardware. At startup, the electronics briefly require an inrush of 20 A (<1 ms), which should be considered when protective devices are selected. Communication passes through the galvanically isolated X2X interface, helping the panel exchange data while limiting ground-loop problems.

The aluminum front bezel and polyester overlay provide a front protection rating of IP65, which helps the unit withstand washdown exposure at the operating face. The rear portion is rated IP20 after cabinet installation, so it needs enclosure protection on that side. Operators use 6 tactile keys, and reliable performance is specified up to 3000 m elevation for facilities located well above sea level.
