Product Description:

The 5AP5120.1505-000 panel is manufactured by B&R Automation and belongs to the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. Designed as an integrated operator station, the unit combines a color display and a resistive touch layer so machine operators can issue commands and monitor status directly at the equipment. Within an automation topology, it serves as the human-machine interface, relaying visualization screens, setpoint entries, and alarm confirmations to the control system over standardized communication channels.

Visual performance is driven by a 15.0-inch diagonal screen that outputs at 1024 x 768 pixels. The native 4:3 aspect ratio fits legacy SCADA layouts without scaling, while a palette of 16.7 million colors enables detailed process graphics. A static contrast ratio of 700:1 keeps text legible in plant lighting, and the LED backlight reduces power draw and supports long operating life compared with cold-cathode lamps. The TFT panel technology supports fast refresh for dynamic trending and smooth animation, which is useful when viewing rapidly changing values such as drive status or servo position. Behind the glass, the polyester overlay helps shield the liquid crystal stack from oil and detergent exposure common on factory floors.

User input is captured through an analog resistive touch layer that registers single-point commands even when the operator wears thin gloves. The mechanical package measures 389 mm in width and 299 mm in height, and the frontal width of 389 mm helps allocate panel cutout space while the aluminum chassis keeps the structure relatively light. Total unit mass is 5200 g, which supports mounting on swing arms or pendant assemblies. A white aluminum coating on the housing improves corrosion resistance, and the polyester overlay resists scratches from routine cleaning.
