Product Description:
The 5PC720.1706-00 is an operator interface panel produced by B&R Automation within the 5PC Industrial Automation Units series. Designed for machine-level control stations, the unit combines a 17-inch graphical display with integrated touch input so operators can issue commands and view status data directly at the equipment. In an automation line, it provides localized visualization, accepts user selections, and forwards the resulting instructions through its onboard industrial communication ports to controllers and field devices. This arrangement supports direct interaction at the machine without requiring a separate external display station.
The display subsystem uses a CCFL backlight that yields a luminance of 250 cd/m², enabling images to remain readable under typical factory lighting. A contrast ratio of 400:1 supports adequate distinction between active elements and background graphics. The panel surface spans 17 in (431.8 mm) diagonally and presents process graphics at SXGA (1280 × 1024 pixels) resolution, allowing standard SCADA objects to appear at native detail. Touch input relies on analog resistive sensing, so commands are registered with finger pressure, gloved contact, or a stylus. The sensor implementation follows the Elo AccuTouch profile, which is widely supported by industrial operating systems and suits HMI use in routine production tasks.
The aluminum front bezel carries an IP65 rating, blocking dust ingress and low-pressure water jets when the panel is mounted from the front. Internal electronics operate from a regulated 24 VDC supply and dissipate heat through natural convection, which avoids the need for fan-based cooling inside the unit. Two Ethernet ports permit separation of automation and enterprise networks, while three USB ports accommodate service sticks or external input devices. An additional pair of serial ports supports legacy equipment that still depends on serial communication. The housing measures 477 mm in width and 390 mm in height, giving installers a rectangular cutout reference that matches standard cabinet doors.
