Product Description:
The 5AP980.1043-01 operator panel is produced by B&R Automation within the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. This unit is a flat-mounted human-machine interface that lets operators issue commands and view process data directly at the equipment. By integrating a display, membrane keys, and a resistive touch surface into one enclosure, it streamlines local control tasks for PLC-based production lines, packaging stations, and similar automated cells. Its design supports single-touch input rather than multi-touch input, which suits menu-driven control schemes typical of legacy systems. The interface format is well suited to machines that rely on direct local control instead of a separate workstation.
Visual performance comes from a TFT Color panel that spans 10.4 in (264 mm) diagonally and renders at a 640 x 480 px native resolution. The screen delivers 450 cd/m² of luminance and a 700:1 contrast ratio, providing legible graphics under factory lighting. An LED backlight supplies uniform illumination while keeping power draw low. Twelve tactile function keys and ten soft keys border the bezel, so fixed actions and context-sensitive prompts can be accessed without navigating the touch layer. The keypad arrangement helps users reach common commands quickly during routine machine interaction. The display timing and input sampling are managed by an Elo serial 12-bit controller, supporting cursor accuracy on the analog resistive surface.
Electrically, the panel operates on a 24 VDC ±25% supply and draws up to 3.2 A max. at full brightness. The LED backlight is rated for 50,000 h, reducing replacement intervals in continuous-run applications. A front bezel sealed to IP65 blocks dust and low-pressure water jets when the device is panel mounted. The sealed front is useful where the panel face is exposed during normal machine operation. Two USB 2.0 Type A ports provide removable media access or peripheral hookup, and the onboard analog resistive touch layer accepts stylus or gloved input through the same controller referenced earlier.
