Product Description:

The 5AP982.1043-01 belongs to the 5AP Single Touch Automation Panels series from B & R Automation. It is a human-machine interface panel intended for integrating operator commands and process feedback in automated equipment. The unit merges a resistive touchscreen with discrete function keys so that both gloved and bare-finger operation are possible in industrial environments.

The panel is powered from a nominal supply of 24 VDC, and its electronics draw up to 3.2 A during peak operation. Visual output is delivered at 450 cd/m²; this brightness level supports usability under strong ambient lighting. Graphics are rendered at 640 × 480 pixels on a 10.4 in TFT color display, giving a pixel density suited for clear status icons and small text. Forty-four dedicated keys, noted as 44 function keys, allow rapid access to machine routines without relying solely on the analog resistive touch layer. Two USB 2.0 Type A receptacles are provided; each can source up to 500 mA for peripherals such as barcode readers or flash drives while maintaining full panel responsiveness.

Image quality is aided by a contrast ratio of 700:1, ensuring distinct differentiation between foreground data and background graphics. Illumination is furnished by an LED backlight rated for 50,000 h, minimizing downtime linked to lamp replacement. The aluminum front is sealed to IP65, enabling wipe-down cleaning without fluid ingress. Touch inputs use analog resistive technology to register pressure rather than capacitance, allowing interaction through protective films or gloves. The panel’s LED source, TFT color matrix, and 264 mm diagonal maintain uniform chromaticity over the stated service life. Two USB ports, compliant with the USB 2.0 Type A standard, extend connectivity for configuration backups or service tooling while the 500 mA port current protects onboard regulators from overload.
