Product Description:

The 5MP050.0653-04 is a handheld operator interface manufactured by B & R Automation as part of the 5MP Mobile Panels series. Designed for industrial automation, the panel combines hardwired control keys, an emergency-stop button, and a resistive touchscreen so operators can supervise, jog, or program machinery while standing next to the process. Its tethered architecture keeps all safety circuits within the cable set, making the unit suitable for setup, troubleshooting, and teach-in operations on robotic, packaging, or CNC lines.

The panel’s display measures 6.5 in across the diagonal, providing a compact but readable workspace. A native resolution of 640 × 480 pixels matches VGA graphics, letting existing HMI pages appear without scaling artifacts. The LED backlight delivers 500 cd/m², keeping process values legible under factory lighting, and its half-brightness life is 100,000 hours to reduce downtime. Graphics are rendered by an Intel PXA 270 CPU running at 416 MHz, which drives control logic and communications while keeping heat output low. The CPU works with 256 MB of DRAM, allowing complex visualization objects and alarm histories to remain in memory without paging delays.

The nonvolatile program area offers 128 MB of flash for the operating system, recipes, and logs. Electrical integration calls for a 24 VDC nominal supply, and startup transients are limited by a 5.6 A inrush current. Once running, the panel draws only 9.6 W, enabling passive cooling inside sealed enclosures that meet IP65; this enclosure rating helps resist dust ingress and water jets common during washdown or machining spray. A resistive analog touchscreen supports gloved operation, and the front USB 1.1 service port can source up to 500 mA for barcode readers or memory sticks used during file transfer.
