Product Description:

The 5AP1120.1505.C04 is a single-touch operator panel manufactured by B&R Automation for the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. It serves as a human-machine interface that delivers on-machine visualization and command entry to PLC-controlled equipment. The device integrates the display, touch sensor, and housing into a form that fits cabinet doors or arm mounts. Combined graphical feedback and resistive touch let operators run setup, clear faults, or adjust parameters without a keyboard or mouse while still isolating the control network from the plant floor.

Its screen follows a 4:3 aspect ratio on a 15.0" TFT color display, giving operators a familiar rectangular workspace. A native resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels supplies sharp detail for trend curves and alarm lists, while a ratio of 700:1 provides sufficient contrast for high ambient-light areas. The panel surface is sealed to IP65, stopping dust and low-pressure water jets, while the rear section remains rated IP20 for inside-cabinet ventilation. An LED backlight generates uniform luminance across the active area, and the analog resistive touch layer registers single-finger input even when gloved. Horizontal viewing can reach 80°, with 70° available vertically, so side observers can still read status icons without repositioning the device.

Long-term service life is supported by a half-brightness figure of 50,000 h, delaying preventive maintenance in continuous-duty lines. Interface needs are minimal; one USB host port using the USB 2.0 standard is presented on a Type A connector, allowing program uploads, data logging, or barcode scanner attachment without additional hubs. The onboard controller supports a single USB host connection, so wiring remains organized and front-access accessory use stays straightforward. Mechanical load during installation is moderate because the housing weighs only 5000 g, permitting VESA mounting without extra reinforcement.
