Product Description:

The 5AP1120.1043-00 human-machine interface is produced by B&R Automation as part of the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. It functions as a single-station control panel in industrial automation, combining a graphic display and a touch surface so operators can issue commands, acknowledge alarms, and monitor process variables without separate keyboards or switches. By mounting the unit in the machine door, the installation exposes only a sealed front surface to the production area while keeping the wiring inside the enclosure. This layout also keeps routine operation centered on one interface instead of distributing controls across multiple external devices.

The visualization section uses a 10.4" active matrix display that presents graphics at 640 x 480 pixels. A contrast ratio of 900:1 preserves legibility under varying ambient light, while the color depth reaches 16.7 million shades for detailed status indication and clearer alarm separation. Illumination comes from an LED backlight rated for 70,000 h of service, which supports long operating periods in machines that remain powered for extended shifts. The screen format is suitable for control pages that combine text, symbols, trend views, and status fields without requiring a larger cutout in the cabinet door.

The touch layer uses an analog, resistive sensor that reacts to pressure, permitting use with styluses or gloves when capacitive technology would be less practical. The aluminum front is sealed to IP65, resisting dust and water jets, while the rear remains IP20 for installation inside a protected enclosure. A single USB 2.0 host port supports data exchange at 480 Mbit/s and can power small external devices such as scanners or memory sticks during service tasks. Mechanical dimensions are 323 mm in width and 260 mm in height, and the assembly weighs 2800 g, which helps it fit common panel openings without adding excessive load to the mounting surface.
