Product Description:

The VDP16.3BKN-D1-NN-MX is an operator interface panel produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat as part of the VDP IndraControl Panels series. Designed for direct machine mounting, the unit combines a graphic display with a full membrane keyboard so operators can issue commands and monitor status without an external PC. It connects over a dedicated CDI link to IndraControl drives and PLCs, supplying visualization, alarm acknowledgment, and numeric entry tasks required in packaging, assembly, and material-handling lines. With a 4 kg housing, it can be placed on swing arms or enclosures without exceeding typical handling limits.

The panel presents data on a TFT screen measuring 30.5 cm (12"), delivering 800 × 600 pixels across 256,000 colors so trend curves and diagnostics remain legible. The electronics operate from a 24 V DC control supply and draw only 20 W, allowing the unit to share the same low-voltage rail as sensors and actuators. Sixteen programmable function keys, sixteen dedicated machine keys, and fourteen additional keys are arranged as a foil keyboard, matching the declared keyboard operation type. A single CDI serial interface transports screen data and key events to the controller without requiring Ethernet. Overall rear protection of IP20 permits convection cooling when the panel is installed in a cabinet door.

The exposed face is sealed to IP65 so cleaning sprays or incidental coolant do not reach the circuitry. Five integrated USB ports accommodate backup drives, barcode scanners, or external keyboards while keeping the CDI channel free for real-time traffic. The display carrier endures shocks up to 15 g during accidental impacts and tolerates continuous vibration of 1 g, enabling use on stamping presses or mobile platforms without additional damping hardware. This sealing and vibration tolerance support operation in food, woodworking, or metal-cutting environments where the panel may be exposed to frequent movement or washdown conditions.
