Product Description:

The 5AP980.1906-K01 automation panel is produced by B & R Automation within the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series. It serves as a combined display and control station that brings HMI functionality directly to industrial equipment, allowing operators to issue commands, observe process data, and acknowledge alarms without leaving the work cell. The panel’s mechanical housing is engineered for cabinet or arm mounting so the screen can be positioned at eye level in assembly lines, packaging machines, or process skids.

Visual performance is anchored by a 19 in diagonal screen that renders graphics at 1280 × 1024 pixels (SXGA). Image depth is enhanced through support for 16.7 million colors, giving SCADA objects, trend charts, and diagnostic icons clear contrast even under ambient light. The display uses a TFT LCD construction for fast pixel response, limiting ghosting on motion-intensive mimics. Illumination is provided by a LED backlight, which maintains uniform brightness while keeping power draw low. A bezel width of 540 mm permits installation beside push-buttons and stack lights on multi-function operator stations, and the 80 mm overall profile keeps the unit from protruding excessively into the control cabinet.

User input arrives through a responsive touchscreen that accepts input from gloved or bare fingers, complemented by an integrated keypad for dedicated start, stop, and numeric entry keys. Internal electronics operate from a regulated 24 V DC supply so the panel can be powered directly from standard control-circuit busbars. The enclosure weighs 10 kg, which is light enough for swing-arm mounts yet substantial enough to resist vibration. A length of 630 mm enables side mounting within shallow consoles, and the housing leaves practical clearance around nearby drive stacks or I/O racks.
