Product Description:

The 5AP920.1505-K44 is a human-machine interface panel manufactured by B&R Automation within the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. Designed for mounting on control cabinets and machines, the unit combines a graphical display with a pressure-sensitive front surface so operators can issue commands, inspect alarms, and adjust parameters directly at the production line. In automated cells, it acts as the visual and tactile endpoint of the control system, translating PLC data into real-time status screens while forwarding user selections back to the controller. This arrangement allows routine interaction to take place at the machine instead of from a separate workstation.

The panel’s active area measures 15 in diagonally, providing adequate space for multi-window process views. Its native resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels maps fine-grained graphics without scaling artifacts, which helps small visual elements remain clear on screen. A resistive touch interface supports finger or gloved operation by responding to pressure rather than skin capacitance, which is useful on shop floors where protective equipment is common. Color depth reaches 16.7 M shades, allowing status elements to be coded by hue with minimal banding. All electronics are supplied from 24 VDC, matching the common control-cabinet power rail and avoiding the need for additional converters. The display can therefore show process pages, alarm lists, and operating menus in a format that remains easy to interpret during normal use.

The front bezel carries a IP65 / NEMA 4X rating, so jets of water and airborne dust cannot penetrate when the panel is correctly installed. Three downstream USB receptacles are provided: the primary connector follows the USB 2.0 Type A format and the internal hub exposes a total of 3 ports for service keyboards, storage media, or barcode scanners. High-speed graphics data is moved from the CPU module through a dedicated Panel Link slot, which combines video and control signals on a single link and helps reduce cable count inside the enclosure. That connection method also keeps the panel closely integrated with the host control hardware during operation.
