Product Description:

The 6PPT30.101G-20C003 operator interface is a human-machine interface produced by B&R Automation and supplied within the 6PPT Power Touch Panels series. It combines an integrated processor, display, and touch sensor so machine operators can issue commands, visualize process data, and acknowledge alarms directly at the cabinet door or on the production line. As part of an industrial automation cell, the panel replaces separate pushbuttons with a configurable graphical surface, reducing wiring and allowing software-based adaptation when the controlled process changes.

Its computational core is an ARM Cortex-A8 that drives the 10.1-inch TFT display. The panel is fixed in landscape orientation and renders graphics at 1024 x 600 pixels, a resolution that balances legibility with modest data demand. A luminance of 500 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 500:1 keep on-screen objects recognizable under typical factory lighting, while the analog resistive touch layer registers inputs through gloves or styluses by detecting pressure on its grid. This approach removes the need for external keyboards and supports precise point selection even when airborne contaminants would interfere with capacitive glass. Two independent Ethernet ports provide separation between plant networks and service laptops during setup.

The panel is supplied from a 24 VDC control circuit and draws up to 429 mA, producing a worst-case thermal load of 10.3 W that can be dissipated passively inside a shallow cabinet. Application code and graphics are stored in 512 MB of flash, while run-time variables execute in 256 MB of DRAM, giving adequate space for the embedded operating system and automation runtime without external storage. Two USB 2.0 ports permit recipe import or service dongles. A molded bezel seals the front to IP65 so washdown spray cannot reach the electronics, while the rear remains IP20 for cabinet mounting where no water exposure occurs.
