Product Description:

The 5D5500.19 interface panel is produced by B&R Automation and belongs to the 5D5 Provit Interface Panels series. The unit serves as a dedicated operator terminal that presents process data and accepts touch or key commands wherever a programmable logic controller needs local visualization. By combining display and control in one housing, the panel reduces the need for separate interface hardware at the machine. It is suited for assembly lines, packaging stations, and other automated equipment that rely on responsive visual feedback during routine operation.

The panel draws 0.9 A from a regulated +12 V rail, while the logic section requires 0.5 A at +5 V. These current values help size the supporting power supply and internal conductors so screen activity does not disturb control voltage. Visual output is handled by a TFT module that supports VGA format for compatibility with standard RGB timing sources. The active matrix display spans 10.4 in diagonally, giving a compact but readable area for trend plots, alarm messages, and parameter entry. That screen size is large enough for menu navigation and diagnostics without taking up excessive door space in compact cabinets.

The screen provides Color rendering, allowing status changes to be recognized quickly without relying on text alone. A front seal rated IP65 helps keep dust and low-pressure water away from the electronics, which supports installation on machine faces that are cleaned with sprayed liquids. Classified as a Display Unit, the device can be mounted without an added enclosure where a protected panel opening is available. Its front-panel installation keeps the viewing surface accessible while the rear connections remain inside the cabinet. Its role as an HMI keeps routine interaction close to the controlled equipment, which supports faster response to changing process conditions.
