Product Description:

The 5AP920.1505-K59 is an operator interface panel produced by B&R Automation within the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. Intended for machine-level visualization and control, the unit combines a 15-inch resistive touch screen with onboard electronics so a PLC or industrial PC can present commands and status through a single surface. In automated lines, the panel serves as the human-machine interface, allowing operators to monitor process variables and start sequences without separate keyboards or pointing devices. This integrated layout keeps machine interaction centralized at the panel.

Visual performance is supported by an LED-backlit TFT color display that measures 15 in (381 mm) on the diagonal. Native output is XGA, 1024 x 768 pixels, providing sufficient pixel density for detailed status graphics and readable process screens. Illumination reaches 350 cd/m², so text remains legible under bright factory lighting, while a 1000:1 contrast ratio helps preserve separation between interface elements and alarm icons. The front surface carries IP65 / NEMA 250 Type 4X Indoor protection, which helps block dust and high-pressure spray in enclosed industrial areas. Touch input is processed through an Elo serial 12-bit controller that uses analog resistive technology, enabling reliable selection when gloves or styluses are used.

From an installation perspective, the panel draws 3.2 A at 24 VDC ±25% SELV, allowing it to share the same low-voltage rail as sensors and I/O modules. Three rear-mounted 3 x USB 2.0 ports accommodate barcode scanners or memory sticks used for file transfer and peripheral connection. Cabinet depth is limited to 54 mm, while the bezel spans 435 mm in width and 330 mm in height, so the cutout can fit standard 19-inch rack doors. Total mass is not stated, but the slim profile supports space-conscious mounting layouts. The analog resistive touch layer withstands millions of actuations without recalibration, and the stainless-steel front frame supports the sealed front construction used in washdown areas.
