Product Description:

The 5PP320.1043-39 belongs to the 5PP Power Panels series from B&R Automation. This unit is an integrated human-machine interface and embedded controller that mounts on the machine front to run visualization, basic PLC tasks, and local diagnostics without an external PC. It gives machine operators real-time process feedback, setpoint entry, touchscreen navigation, and direct access to local status information at the point of use, so routine interaction can take place on the panel itself. Because the control and display functions are combined in one housing, the panel can be installed directly where operators need immediate access to machine status and commands.

At its core, a Geode LX800 processor runs at 500 MHz, supported by 256 MB SDRAM to execute control logic and graphical runtime at the same time. The graphics subsystem uses a shared 8 MB frame buffer, and the application is stored in 2 MB of flash memory. A 10.4 in TFT display with a 264 mm diagonal presents 262,144 colors at a native resolution of 640 × 480 pixels, giving clear status screens for medium-sized machines. Screen readability under factory lighting is supported by a luminance of 450 cd/m², while an analog resistive touch layer allows single-finger or gloved operation without requiring a capacitive stylus.

The display also has a contrast ratio of 900:1, so process graphics remain distinct against dark backgrounds. Front sealing achieves an IP65 rating, permitting washdown of the bezel without water ingress. Networking to higher-level controllers or SCADA hosts is handled through an Ethernet port that auto-negotiates 10/100 Mbit/s links, while legacy equipment can be connected through the built-in RS232 interface. Two USB ports accept memory sticks for recipe transfer and local application files, which supports standalone use on machines that need direct operator access.
