Product Description:

The 5PP520.1043-00 is an operator interface panel produced by B&R Automation as part of the 5PP Power Panels series. It integrates a 10.4-inch color display, a resistive touchscreen, and onboard communication ports, allowing machine builders to combine visualization and control functions in a single enclosure. In an automation cell, the unit supplies real-time process graphics, alarm handling, and manual input without routing every signal back to a remote cabinet.

Its 10.4 in (264 mm) TFT color display presents graphics at 640 x 480 px, so legacy VGA content can be shown without scaling artifacts. Image clarity is supported by a 700:1 contrast ratio and a palette of 16 million colors, which helps distinguish states and alarm levels on crowded screens. The panel’s Ethernet interface, specified as 1 x 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, permits high-speed transfer of recipes and system data over standard networks. Additional connections include an RS232 Com1 port for point-to-point links, three USB 2.0 host ports for service storage or data logging drives, and an analog resistive touchscreen that can be operated while wearing thin industrial gloves. The LED backlight helps minimize heat and maintain uniform brightness across the viewing area.

For installation near washdown zones, the aluminum front is rated IP65, sealing the display against dust and low-pressure water jets. The electronics run from a 24 VDC ±25% supply and draw 1.2 A under typical load, resulting in a maximum 25.5 W power demand. Long-term service intervals are supported by an LED backlight life of 50,000 h, reducing downtime associated with lamp replacement. The backlight turns off automatically when the screen is idle to help extend operating life. With a mass of 2750 g, the panel can be mounted on swing arms or door surfaces without extensive reinforcement, and the integrated TFT controller continues to refresh graphics when ambient vibration is present.
