Product Description:

The 6PPT30.0573-20C001 operator terminal is produced by B&R Automation and belongs to the 6PPT Power Touch Panels series. This unit consolidates display, touch input, and controller connectivity to act as the front-end human-machine interface on automated lines, packaging machines, and compact cells. By integrating the screen and resistive sensor in a sealed housing, it replaces separate push-buttons and indicator lamps, allowing parameter adjustment, alarm acknowledgment, and real-time visualization of process variables through a single panel.

The display section measures 5.7 in diagonally and renders graphics at 640 x 480 px, so small icons and data tables remain legible from typical viewing distances. A luminance of 400 cd/m² supports clear viewing under factory lighting, while the 850:1 contrast ratio separates foreground objects from dark backgrounds to speed recognition of status colors. Color depth reaches 262,144 shades, enough to reproduce gradients and alarm hues used in standard HMI libraries. An analog resistive touch layer is laminated over the LCD, enabling finger or gloved hand input without needing capacitive stylus accessories and tolerating contamination that may appear in food, textile, or metalworking areas.

The panel runs on an ARM Cortex-A8 CPU clocked at 600 MHz, providing enough processing capacity for vector graphics and protocol conversion tasks. Runtime variables and screen objects are buffered in 256 MB of DRAM, while project files and event logs are retained in 512 MB of onboard flash, eliminating the need for rotating media. Two Ethernet ports operating at 10/100 Mbit/s allow simultaneous connection to an automation network and a second device for data exchange. The electronics are supplied from a 24 VDC control bus, and during full-brightness operation the unit draws 319 mA, translating to a maximum power demand of 7.66 W.
