Product Description:

B & R Automation’s 5AP920.1505-K60 belongs to the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series and is intended for use as a human-machine interface in industrial control stations, machine fronts, and process cells. The panel combines a color TFT display with a resistive touch layer so operators can supervise motion, acknowledge alarms, and enter setpoints from one sealed unit instead of separate screens and keypads. This integrated layout keeps routine machine interaction on a single front-mounted interface and supports direct input where fast status checks and command entry are required during normal operation.

Visual performance relies on a luminance of 350 cd/m², giving legible graphics under bright shop lighting, while a contrast ratio of 1000:1 keeps status icons distinct against dark backgrounds. The display has a 15 in diagonal active area and renders process synoptics at a native resolution of 1024 × 768 px, matching common SCADA layouts without scaling artifacts. The TFT color panel is fed by an LED backlight designed for 70,000 h of service before brightness falls to half, which helps maintain readable screens over long operating periods. Under the glass, an analog resistive sheet supports single-finger actuation with gloves, and the Elo serial 12-bit controller converts pressure points into coordinates for the PLC.

The housing’s front face carries a rating of IP65, so airborne dust and low-pressure water jets do not reach internal circuits. Power is taken from a regulated 24 VDC supply, and the logic drawers draw up to 3.2 A max during cold start. The unit has 3 USB 2.0 connectors for service sticks, barcode readers, or maintenance keyboards without extra hubs. Overall dimensions are 435 × 330 × 54 mm, allowing flush mounting in standard control enclosures. The touch surface uses AMT construction, and its analog resistive technology accepts repeated actuations without recalibration, giving predictable cursor response over the unit’s life.
