Product Description:

The VDP16.2DBN-G4-NN-NN is a human-machine interface manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the VDP IndraControl Panels series. Intended for cabinet or arm mounting, the unit presents process graphics, alarm lists, and parameter menus in real time. A resistive touch surface replaces mechanical keys, reducing panel depth and wear points. Communication with the automation controller moves through the GIGASTAR (G4) channel, giving the panel a dedicated high-speed path for screen updates and input events in assembly, packaging, and process lines. This arrangement helps the display respond quickly when operators navigate pages or acknowledge alarms.

The panel uses a 24 VDC supply. At this voltage, current draw can reach 2 A, and the maximum power demand is listed as 24 W. Graphics are rendered at 800 x 600 pixels across a 12 in diagonal, and the display can show 256,000 colors for object fills, gradients, and alarm coding. The available screen area supports detailed process views, while the touch sensor allows direct interaction with buttons, trends, and menu windows. Icons, trend fields, and status banners can be arranged without crowding the main operating screen.

A front sealing system provides IP65 protection, so the screen resists dust deposits and water jets found near conveyors or coolant nozzles. The display stack uses a TFT panel with a 50,000-hour backlight life, supporting long operating periods before brightness loss becomes noticeable. Despite the aluminum housing and reinforced glass, overall mass stays at 4.0 kg, which helps keep swing-arm loads low during installation and routine machine movement. Resistance to 15 g shocks and 1 g vibration supports continuous operation on stamping presses and mobile production skids. The sealed front and durable display stack suit machine locations that are exposed to repeated motion and occasional impact.
