Product Description:

The 5DLSDL.1000-00 is an AP link module produced by B&R Automation for the 5DL AP Link Modules series. It functions as an interface between a remote operator panel and a central controller, conveying display content, touch signals, and matrix key inputs over a single hybrid cable. By performing this routing task, the unit simplifies panel wiring and extends permissible mounting distance while keeping low-voltage electronics inside the control cabinet.

The module is energized from a field supply of 24 VDC ±25% that meets SELV requirements, and it draws a nominal line current of 4.2 A when fully loaded. Internal DC/DC conversion limits typical power dissipation to 3 W, minimizing cabinet heat buildup. Installation is rated for Overvoltage Category II, indicating it may be connected only to circuits with controlled transient levels such as secondary distribution networks. Panel communication enters through an SDL port that carries video, USB, and auxiliary signals in one connector; no downstream panel output is provided, so the link terminates at this point. The module relays display data, capacitive touch coordinates, matrix key states, LED commands, and service diagnostics in the transferred data stream, allowing full HMI functionality without local processing electronics.

Cable length between the module and the panel can reach 40 m without repeaters, supporting distributed cabinet layouts on large machines. Two mounting flanges accept 2 locating screws, and each screw must be secured with a tightening torque of 0.5 Nm to maintain the specified vibration resistance. A front USB service socket complies with the USB 1.1 standard, providing service access for data transfer while respecting the low-speed bandwidth of the SDL channel. All remaining connections are pluggable spring-clamp terminals, and the absence of a panel output path prevents unintended daisy-chaining that could degrade signal integrity.
