Product Description:

The 5AP920.1505-K69 is an operator interface panel manufactured by B & R Automation and belongs to the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. In an automated cell, it functions as the central point for command entry and process feedback, linking machine control logic with plant personnel through a single-touch surface and a color graphic screen. Operators can use the front panel to view status information, acknowledge alarms, and enter commands without relying on a separate workstation. The sealed front design lets the panel be fastened directly on equipment cabinets that experience spray, dust, and vibration without additional protective enclosures.

A 15.0 in (381 mm) TFT color module renders graphics at 1024 × 768 px, giving adequate pixel density for detailed mimics and trend curves. Up to 16.7 Million hues are available for alarm coding, and the surface brightness reaches 350 cd/m² so values remain readable under overhead lighting. A 1000:1 static contrast ratio separates foreground numerics from backdrop shading. Illumination is provided by an LED backlight, and touch input is accepted through an analog resistive overlay supervised by an Elo Serial 12-bit controller. This arrangement supports operation with gloves or styluses in harsh industrial areas and keeps navigation responsive when screen layouts use small buttons or dense status fields.

The panel operates from a 24 VDC control supply and can draw up to 3.2 A when the display starts cold. A cast front frame with IP65 ingress protection blocks dust and low-pressure water jets, while the overall housing measures 435 × 330 × 54 mm to fit compactly into door cutouts. Three rear USB ports follow the USB 2.0 standard for service keys or data logging devices. With a backlight life of 70,000 h, the screen can remain energized through multiple shift cycles before replacement becomes necessary. Rear connections also let cables stay behind the panel, which helps keep the machine front clear during normal use.
