Product Description:

The 5AP923.1505-00 operator interface is manufactured by B&R Automation and belongs to the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. It serves as a compact human-machine interface that bridges programmable controllers with machine operators through a single resistive touch layer and a color display. By integrating the display, touch controller, and protective front panel in one unit, it streamlines command entry, status visualization, and alarm acknowledgment in packaging, material-handling, and general machine automation environments.

Its visualization hardware centers on a TFT color screen with a 15.0" diagonal arranged in a 4:3 aspect ratio, providing familiar proportions for legacy graphics while leaving room for process dashboards. The native resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels supports detailed schematics and data tables without requiring constant scrolling. Contrast is rated at 700:1, which helps maintain legibility when ambient light changes. An LED backlight supplies uniform illumination, improves energy efficiency, and avoids the mercury used in older CCFL lamps. The analog resistive overlay is decoded by a serial 12-bit controller for single-point input that remains suitable for gloved operation, and the 80° horizontal and 70° vertical viewing angles help reduce visible color shift when the panel is viewed off-axis.

The front bezel carries a IP65 ingress rating once the unit is seated in a cabinet cutout, helping protect the internal electronics from dust and low-pressure washdowns. Backlight life is maintained for up to 50,000 h, which supports long operating periods in continuous-duty equipment. The housing is 288 mm high, 370 mm wide, and weighs 3700 g, so it can be mounted on standard VESA arms or cabinet doors without unusual support hardware. The analog resistive touch surface also works well in oily or damp settings, and the compact wiring harness leaves room for other field cables inside the enclosure.
