Product Description:

The 5AP1182.1043-000 is a human-machine interface panel manufactured by B & R Automation for the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. It combines an industrial TFT display, a resistive touch layer, and dedicated membrane keys that let operators monitor system status and issue commands directly on the production floor. The panel can be mounted on a cabinet door or swing arm to provide real-time visualization, recipe entry, and alarm acknowledgment. Its integrated controls allow users to interact with machinery without adding a separate computer at the operator station.

The screen measures 10.4 in diagonally and renders graphics at 640 × 480 pixels, allowing standard VGA layouts to appear at their native resolution. Image legibility is supported by a 900:1 contrast ratio and a palette of 16.7 million colors, providing clear distinctions between process states and alarm indicators. The analog resistive touch layer responds to pressure, allowing input through gloves or with a stylus and supporting operation when oil or dust is present on the cover glass. A sealed stainless-steel bezel gives the front face an IP65 rating, protecting it against water jets and airborne particles encountered during washdown or sanding operations.

The housing has a width of 423 mm, a height of 288 mm, and a mass of 3500 g, allowing VESA or panel-cutout mounting without heavy support frames. Forty-four membrane function keys provide tactile feedback for frequently used commands, while the rear side meets IP20 requirements and permits convection cooling inside a closed enclosure. One USB 2.0 Type A port supplies 5 V at 500 mA for connecting a keyboard, barcode reader, or memory stick, supporting software updates, data transfer, and event logging. The single USB connection keeps wiring simple and maintains access when the panel is installed on a hinged cabinet door or swing arm.
