Product Description:

The 6PPT30.101G-20F is an operator terminal produced by B & R Automation within the 6PPT Power Touch Panels series. As a panel-mount HMI, it integrates a touchscreen, processor, and field wiring interfaces so that machine builders can present status data and accept commands directly on the equipment enclosure. When installed, the unit bridges the plant control network and the machine interior, reducing cabinet space and simplifying operator access in industrial automation cells. This arrangement allows process screens, alarm pages, and operating prompts to remain available at the machine rather than on a separate external display.

Its visualization section is driven by a thin-film transistor screen whose active area spans 10.1". Graphics are rendered at a native resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, allowing clear depiction of process trends and alarm lists. Outdoor glare is countered by a luminance rating of 500 cd/m², while a contrast ratio of 500:1 maintains legibility in dimly lit control rooms. The panel surface senses input through analog resistive technology, enabling reliable actuation with gloved hands and supporting straightforward interaction with on-screen buttons and menus. Physical dimensions of 276 mm in width, 172 mm in height, and 47.8 mm in depth permit shallow mounting into standard operator stations. Rear protection meets the IP20 rating against incidental contact with live parts.

Computational tasks are handled by an ARM Cortex-A8 processor that works with 256 MB of DRAM for runtime variables and a 512 MB flash area for the operating system, user application, and recipe data. The electronics are designed for a nominal supply of 24 VDC; at full backlight intensity and processor load the unit draws up to 429 mA, corresponding to a maximum dissipation of 10.3 W. These values support installation in low-voltage machine control systems where the display, touch interface, and application runtime share one compact platform. Its aluminum front bezel carries a sealing gasket that attains a protection level of IP65 once fixed to a flat panel, guarding the display against dust and low-pressure water jets encountered on factory floors.
