Product Description:

B & R Automation manufactures the 5PP520.1043 operator terminal as part of the 5PP Power Panels series. This unit combines visualization, control, and field networking in a single panel, allowing machine builders to mount a compact PLC-HMI directly on the door of a cabinet. The front face carries a TFT color display lit by an LED backlight, and user input is captured through analog resistive touch. One Ethernet port and three USB ports handle programming, data logging, and peripheral attachment, while a nominal current draw of 1.2 A keeps the DC power budget predictable.

The panel’s response characteristics start with a buffer time of 10 ms, meaning the internal capacitors hold system logic long enough to ride through short supply interruptions. Serial communication on COM1 is configured for 115 kbit/s, and the physical layer is RS232, a pairing often used for maintenance terminals and legacy sensors. Visual data is presented on a 10.4 in (264 mm) screen that renders at 640 × 480 px; this VGA native resolution ensures symbols remain crisp without scaling artifacts. A contrast ratio of 700:1 enables operators to read alarms and trends under ambient plant light, and the buffer safeguards volatile memory to prevent unintended controller resets.

During sustained operation the unit draws 25.5 W, a figure that aligns with its low-heat, Fanless architecture and permits installation in sealed panels. Visualization fidelity rises to 16 million addressable colors, giving gradients needed for modern SCADA objects. Application code and runtime variables reside in DDR2 SDRAM, which delivers faster refresh than earlier SDRAM generations and supports the high-update touch interface. Together, the power budget, memory bandwidth, and color depth allow the panel to animate trending graphs while the analog resistive layer forwards commands even when operators wear gloves.
