Product Description:

The 5AP920.1043-01 panel is produced by B&R Automation and belongs to the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. It is a human-machine interface intended for fixed mounting on control enclosures where it serves as the local point for machine supervision and command input. The panel’s purpose in industrial automation is to translate operator gestures into fieldbus instructions while presenting live process data on a color screen.

Its visual subsystem centers on a 10.4 in (264 mm) active area implemented with a TFT color module that renders images at 640 x 480 px. Readability under factory lighting is supported by a 450 cd/m² luminance rating and a 700:1 contrast ratio, so graphics and alarm text remain distinct against background elements. The panel can reproduce up to 16 million colors, allowing detailed status graphics without dithering. An LED backlight is used, and the diodes are rated for 50,000 hours before luminance falls to half of the initial value, which helps extend operating life. Input is captured through an analog resistive touch layer that accepts finger or stylus pressure even when operators wear gloves.

Electrical integration is simple because the unit operates from a single 24 VDC ±25% supply and draws up to 3.2 A max. during peak brightness and touch activity. The aluminum front bezel carries an IP65 rating, sealing the display against dust and high-pressure water jets once the gasket is compressed against the cabinet door. External dimensions measure 323 × 260 × 55 mm, enabling retrofit into standardized 19-inch rack doors. Two USB host connectors provide user expansion, and the interface supports 2 USB 2.0 ports with 500 mA available from each port for scanners, memory keys, or maintenance keyboards. Rear cooling and a fanless design further simplify installation.
