Product Description:

The 5PC720.1214-K01 is an industrial panel PC manufactured by B & R Automation and listed in the 5PC Industrial Automation Units series. The unit merges an embedded controller with a touchscreen display, allowing direct machine operation and real-time monitoring without a separate workstation. Inside automated production cells, it executes control logic, presents process data, and logs operator input, reducing panel footprint while maintaining deterministic performance.

The visualization side centers on a 12.1 in TFT screen that is backlit by LED technology for consistent luminance throughout its life. Graphics are rendered at 800 × 600 pixels, giving adequate detail for structured process diagrams. Brightness reaches 450 cd/m² so information remains readable under factory lighting, and a 800:1 contrast ratio separates dark and light elements. An analog, resistive touch layer with AMT sensors supports gloved operation and recognizes single-finger commands even when the surface is humid. The aluminum front bezel carries an IP65 rating, blocking dust and water jets, while the rear chassis is intended for installation inside a protected cabinet.

Electrical and communication resources support controller duties. The panel operates from a 24 VDC supply and draws up to 3.8 A, values that help determine power input requirements. Two RJ-45 sockets offer network redundancy, and they handle traffic at 10/100 Mbit/s for standard Ethernet protocols. Three USB host ports permit service keyboards, barcode scanners, or memory sticks, and there are 2 PCI slots for fieldbus or specialized I/O cards when additional interfaces are required. The connector layout stays within the chassis depth so enclosure doors can close without interference. This setup allows visualization and controller functions to be handled from the same panel opening.
