Product Description:

The 5PC720.1505-K02 is a panel-mounted industrial PC produced by B&R Automation within the 5PC Industrial Automation Units series. The design combines an industrial computer, data interfaces, and a touchscreen in one housing, which helps reduce cabinet depth and field wiring. By running B&R Automation's real-time environment, the device can execute motion control tasks, log production data, and display alarm dialogs without relying on an external server. Its aluminum front frame tolerates vibration commonly found on presses and conveyors, and the unit serves as the primary operator station on packaging lines, bottling equipment, and assembly cells.

The front panel carries a 15 in TFT color screen that displays images at 1024 × 768 pixels in XGA resolution. A resistive analog touch layer, driven by an Elo serial 12-bit controller, permits finger or stylus input without recalibration after mechanical stress. Visibility in factory lighting is supported by 350 cd/m² luminance and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, while an LED backlight provides uniform color across the panel. The front bezel has an IP65 rating, so dust and washdown spray do not interfere with the operator interface. The screen hardware is also supported by one internal PCI slot for expansion cards that can add specialized fieldbus channels.

Internal electronics operate from a 24 VDC ±25% supply that is common in machine control cabinets. Network integration is handled through 2 Ethernet interfaces, while 3 USB receptacles support storage media or service connections; two RS232 ports maintain connectivity with serial devices. One PCI slot allows optional motion or vision cards. The LED engine provides 70,000 h of rated backlight life, which reduces replacement frequency during continuous three-shift operation. Touch input remains precise when gloves are used because the analog resistive layer responds to pressure rather than capacitive coupling.
