Product Description:

The 5AP920.1505-K43 is a human-machine interface panel produced by B&R Automation within the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. As an operator terminal, it provides graphical feedback and touch input so machinery, drives, and PLCs can be supervised directly on the plant floor. The interface lets operators view process states, acknowledge alarms, and enter commands at the machine instead of relying on separate control hardware. Its integration capability allows the panel to replace external PCs or push-button stations, simplifying cabinet layouts and reducing wiring in industrial automation cells.

This model relies on fan-free convection to dissipate heat, eliminating moving parts that could attract dust or require periodic replacement. A diagonal of 15 in provides ample screen area for multi-window diagnostics while maintaining a compact footprint for swing-arm or cabinet-door mounting. The native resolution follows the XGA format, so 1024 × 768 pixels are available for detailed process mimics, trend plots, and alarm summaries. Images are rendered on a TFT color display, ensuring consistent brightness and wide viewing angles even under overhead lighting. The aluminum front complies with the IP65 rating, protecting internal electronics from airborne particles and low-pressure water jets encountered during washdown or maintenance procedures.

Power is supplied at 24 VDC, allowing direct connection to common control-cabinet power buses without additional converters. User interaction occurs through an analog resistive touch layer, which registers single-finger commands even when gloves are worn, a frequent requirement on production floors. This touch technology is suitable for menu navigation, setpoint entry, and routine machine interaction in industrial environments. Each USB host channel can source up to 500 mA per connection, supporting thumb drives, barcode scanners, or low-power peripherals, and data transfer follows the USB 2.0 standard for compatibility with existing devices.
