Product Description:

The 5PC720.1505-K30 is a panel-mount human-machine interface in the 5PC Industrial Automation Units series produced by B&R Automation. It occupies the operator station on packaging lines, assembly cells, and material-handling systems where personnel need to view process data and issue commands directly at the machine. By integrating display, touch sensing, and communication into one sealed front plate, the unit reduces cabinet wiring, simplifies setup, and installs from the front of an enclosure with minimal panel depth and straightforward panel access.

The unit carries a 15 in TFT display that renders graphics at 1024 × 768 pixels for clear machine pages and status screens. Operators can work under varied lighting because luminance reaches 350 cd/m² and the native contrast ratio is 1000:1. An analog resistive touchscreen accepts input through gloves or styluses, which suits wash-down or dusty areas. The aluminum bezel meets IP65 / NEMA 250 Type 4X, so the front panel tolerates high-pressure cleaning. Internally, the electronics are supplied with 24 VDC ±25%. Physical dimensions are 435 mm wide by 330 mm high, an LED backlight is fitted to conserve power, and the unit also has two serial ports that operate at 115 kbit/s for legacy device links.

Networking and service connectivity are handled by two Ethernet sockets that auto-negotiate at 10/100 Mbit/s, allowing control and diagnostic traffic to be separated without an external switch. Three front-accessible USB type-A receptacles provide 3 USB ports for data logging, file transfer, or scanner attachment, while the LED backlight is rated for 70000 h. The long-life light source helps keep brightness consistent over years of shift operation, and the pressure-based touch layer continues to register commands even when the polycarbonate overlay is scratched by abrasive powders.
