Product Description:

The VDP16.2BKN-G5-PS-NN operator panel is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat and belongs to the VDP IndraControl Panels series. As a TFT human-machine interface with integrated machine keys, the panel provides direct control and visualization for programmable logic controllers on the factory floor. Its purpose is to place display, navigation, and acknowledgment functions at the machine front so that operators can start, monitor, and stop processes without opening the electrical cabinet. Key operation reduces accidental touches and offers tactile feedback suited to gloved hands and high-vibration stations.

The panel is powered from a 24 VDC supply, allowing it to share the low-voltage fieldbus power already present in most control enclosures. Its active display area measures 304.8 mm (12 in) diagonally and renders graphics at 800 × 600 px; this resolution matches standard SCADA layouts while keeping icon edges sharp for quick recognition. A sealed aluminum bezel with IP65 front protection blocks dust and washdown spray, permitting installation on food-processing or coolant-rich equipment. The 350 mm width and 290 mm height leave a uniform margin around the screen for sixteen dedicated machine keys grouped by function, reinforcing the panel’s emphasis on key operation rather than touch input.

Visual clarity is boosted by a palette of 256,000 colors, which enables gradient backgrounds and distinct alarm hues without banding. Despite the wide gamut, the electronics are housed in a chassis that weighs only 4.0 kg, so the unit can be mounted on articulated arms or door panels without extra reinforcement. During mobile or high-impact tasks, it withstands shocks up to 15 g and continuous vibration to 1 g, preventing flicker or connector loosening in stamping cells. Reliable startup is supported within an ambient range of +5 to +45 °C, and the panel can be stored at temperatures as low as -20 °C.
