Product Description:

The 5AP92D.1505-00 operator interface is produced by B & R Automation within the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. It is a touch-enabled HMI intended for mounting on machinery doors or control cabinets so that operators can issue commands, view process data, and acknowledge alarms from one front surface. By combining a graphic display with an integrated touch sensor, the panel removes external keyboards and supports compact installation in assembly cells and packaging machines.

Its visual subsystem centers on a 15.0" TFT color screen that delivers workspace big enough for multi-page control layouts. Image clarity is defined by the 1024 x 768 pixels resolution, giving control icons and trend plots adequate pixel density for precise operator feedback. A 700:1 contrast ratio supports legible text under varied ambient lighting, while the LED backlight supplies stable illumination with reduced power draw compared with fluorescent sources. Command entry relies on the analog, resistive touch layer, so the surface responds to finger pressure, stylus points, or gloved contact without recalibration drift; a serial 12-bit controller converts that pressure map into coordinates for the PLC or PC.

Mechanical and service attributes align with the optical features described above. The front is sealed to IP65, preventing dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, which lets the panel sit in wash-down zones of food or pharmaceutical equipment. A half-brightness lifetime of 50,000 h limits preventive maintenance because the display maintains usable luminance through multi-year shifts. The coated Aluminum housing measures 398 mm wide by 316 mm high and resists chemical splashes while also acting as a heat spreader for internal electronics. Even with the protective enclosure, shipping mass stays below 7450 g, so a single technician can mount the unit on standard VESA or panel cut-outs without additional lifting fixtures.
