Product Description:

B&R Automation's 5AP1120.0702-C01 belongs to the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series and is used as a human-machine interface in machine cells, lines, and standalone equipment. The panel combines a compact front frame with an embedded controller connection. This allows operators to issue commands and monitor production data directly at the point of use, which helps reduce wiring runs to the higher-level PLC.

The screen is a TFT color display that measures 7.0" diagonally, and its native resolution is 800 x 480 px, providing a 15:9 aspect ratio for clear status graphics. A palette of 16.7 Million colors minimizes dithering in high-detail process images, while the contrast ratio of 550:1 helps maintain legibility under changing ambient light. The panel has a front IP65 and back IP20 protection rating, so it can be surface-mounted in enclosures exposed to washdown or dust while relying on cabinet airflow behind the panel. Touch input is analog and resistive, allowing gloved operation, and the substrate passes 81% ±3% of incident light to the backlight. Optical performance is also supported by horizontal viewing limits of 70° right and 70° left, along with vertical limits of 50° up and 60° down, so data remains visible when the operator moves away from the centerline.

An LED backlight is used, and its output falls to half after approximately 50,000 h, giving long operating life in 24/7 installations. Communication with the control system occurs over a 12-bit serial interface that supports the panel's single-touch event stream and display refresh commands. The housing spans 212 mm in width and 156 mm in height, so it fits standard 7-inch cutouts without adapter plates. Resistive sensor layers permit reliable actuation with a stylus or finger, and the glass stack still meets the stated transmittance while balancing durability with optical clarity.
