Product Description:

The 5AP93D.185B-B60 is a single-touch human-machine interface panel manufactured by B & R Automation as part of the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. The unit functions as a front-end display for PLC-controlled machinery, allowing operators to issue commands and view process data through a projected-capacitive glass surface. Because it is designed purely as an interface device, it contains no integrated controller hardware and instead relies on a remote automation computer for application execution. This arrangement separates visualization from control logic, which lets the display sit at the operator station while the computing hardware remains elsewhere in the machine.

The display measures 18.5 in diagonally, giving the panel a broad viewing area without increasing enclosure depth. Its native resolution of 1366 x 768 px matches standard 16:9 content, so graphics can appear without scaling artifacts. Video and touch data are transferred over SDL / SDL3 links, which carry power, DVI-level video, USB channels, and panel status on a single hybrid cable. Touch sensing uses PCT technology, enabling multi-finger gestures through a laminated front glass while resisting oil and cleaning fluids. The panel uses a landscape orientation, which suits the screen format commonly used on machine dashboards.

Integration with a Panel PC is supported by model 2100, and the host computer handles runtime tasks while the panel serves only as an input and visualization terminal. Because processing is handled externally, the panel focuses on touch input, screen output, and status exchange with the connected host. The operator-feature designation is None, so the unit has no dedicated hard keys, switches, or LEDs on the front. The panel is built for the B & R Automation platform and belongs to the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels family. That family uses common mechanical dimensions and gasket profiles across related panels.
