Product Description:

B & R Automation manufactures the 5AP920.1505-01 as part of its 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. This panel is a 15-inch operator interface that brings machine status, parameter entry, and diagnostics together on a single front plate, allowing PLCs and motion controllers to be supervised directly from the cabinet door or swing arm. By combining a graphic display with an analog-resistive touch sensor, the unit eliminates external keypads and supports finger or stylus input even when operators wear gloves.

The visualization layer is delivered on a 15 in TFT color screen driven at 1024 x 768 pixels, so vector graphics and trending screens remain legible at standard viewing distances. A brightness of 350 cd/m² maintains clarity under factory lighting, while a contrast ratio of 1000:1 helps separate foreground objects from dark backgrounds. An LED backlight reduces heat inside sealed panels and simplifies backlight life estimates. The surface responds through an analog-resistive sensor that is read by an Elo Serial, 12-bit controller for 4096-level position resolution. Input power is supplied at a nominal 24 VDC, matching the auxiliary supplies already present in most control enclosures.

Electrical loading peaks at 3.2 A during full graphics refresh and backlight ignition, and steady operation typically draws 24 W, a figure confirmed by the 24 W power rating. For operator peripherals, the panel offers three USB type-A receptacles that follow the USB 2.0 standard and source up to 500 mA per port for scanners or memory sticks. The assembly’s aluminum front complies with IP65 / NEMA 4X Indoor, blocking dust and directed water spray so it can be mounted flush in food, packaging, or metal-working machinery. By combining protected construction with isolated 24 V supply rails, the panel maintains display integrity while sharing cabinet space with drives, relays, and network switches.
