Product Description:

The VDP15.3GAN-D2-NN-CH is a flat-panel operator terminal developed by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the VDP IndraControl Panels series. In an automation cell, it acts as the local human-machine interface, allowing operators to issue commands and view process data through a capacitive touchscreen while the controller executes motion or logic tasks. The panel integrates the display, input surface, and protective elements so that it can be mounted on machines or enclosures without separate switches or indicator devices.

The screen measures 39.6 cm (15.6") diagonally and renders graphics at 1366 × 768 pixels, providing adequate space for drive diagnostics, production statistics, and alarm windows. Its interface supports multi-touch gestures, enabling zoom or scroll operations with two fingers instead of fixed keys. A front rating of IP65 keeps dust and low-pressure water jets away from the TFT, which is important when the unit is installed on a machining center or packaging line. Internally, the electronics run from a regulated 24 V DC supply that can be taken directly from a control cabinet auxiliary power bus, and a single CDI serial port carries image and input data back to the host IPC while reducing cable count.

The housing is aluminum and sealed on the rear to IP20, so the panel itself sits inside clean cabinets while the glass surface faces the production area. During transport or accidental impact, the assembly withstands shocks up to 15 g and endures continuous plant vibration levels of 1 g. Normal operation draws just 24 W, which helps in fanless cabinets with limited heat capacity. The design also accounts for contamination level 2 and overvoltage category 2, matching it to typical low-energy industrial circuits. Two USB ports on the front permit service keyboards or memory sticks, and the thermally tempered glass resists scratches that could obscure the TFT over time.
