Product Description:

The VDP16.3DBN-D1-NN-NN human-machine interface is produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the VDP IndraControl Panels series. It functions as an operator station in automated cells, allowing direct process visualization and parameter entry from a single front surface. Because the unit relies on touch-based interaction, it removes the need for external keypads and enables streamlined cabinet layouts. Designed for use on packaging lines, filling systems, and assembly stations, the panel forwards user commands to connected PLCs and drives through the plant network while occupying minimal space on the machine frame. Its integrated layout gives operators one access point for viewing machine status and entering routine commands during production.

The operator surface centers on a 12 in diagonal screen built with TFT technology, delivering a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. A palette of 256000 colors helps differentiate process states and alarm messages without external signal lights. The panel face carries an IP65 rating, so washdown spray or airborne dust cannot enter. One dedicated front USB port simplifies data logging with a removable storage device, while four standard rear USB interfaces connect barcode scanners, service keyboards, or recovery media. Installation clearance is set by a width of 350 mm, a height of 290 mm, and a depth of 46 mm, letting the housing fit shallow mounting arms. A regulated input of 24 VDC allows power to be shared with common control-cabinet supplies.

Energy consumption remains modest at 20 W, minimizing heat generation inside sealed enclosures. The aluminum body weighs only 4 kg, so swing arms or panel doors experience little additional load during manual repositioning. For dynamic environments, the display endures shocks up to 15 g and continuous vibration of 1 g without loss of image integrity or touch accuracy. The compact enclosure also suits equipment that is moved or adjusted regularly during normal machine operation.
