Product Description:

B & R Automation manufactures the 5AP1125.1505-I00 operator terminal in the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. The unit functions as a fixed-mount human-machine interface, allowing operators to monitor processes and issue commands directly from the production floor. Its construction integrates a 15-inch touch screen, display electronics, and a stainless-steel front plate into a single enclosure suitable for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical automation lines.

The panel presents graphics on a TFT color display with a diagonal of 15.0 in, so standard SCADA layouts are shown at full size without scaling. A native resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels yields moderate pixel density that keeps text legible while limiting GPU load on the controller. Color depth reaches 16.2 Million shades, enabling status lights and trend charts to be distinguished easily. Visual contrast is specified at 700:1, which helps maintain readability under bright plant lighting. The backlight uses an LED source that reaches its median lifetime after 50,000 h of operation, reducing the need for frequent replacement in continuously running equipment. Touch input is captured by an analog resistive layer and processed through a serial 12-bit controller, allowing accurate point selection even when operators wear gloves.

For sanitary installations, the front bezel is milled from stainless steel 1.4301 and sealed to IP69K, so the screen tolerates high-pressure washdowns with cleaning agents. An integrated RFID reader tuned to 13.56 MHz lets personnel log in with contactless cards instead of passwords, supporting traceable recipe changes. Overall dimensions measure 433 mm in width and 331 mm in height, providing a rectangular outline that fits standard control cabinet doors. The housing and display assembly weigh 6,900 g, which helps keep the load on swing arms or panel hinges within common limits.
