Product Description:

The VDP40.2ALN-G4-NN-NN operator interface is a human-machine interface panel produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the VDP IndraControl Panels series. Designed for cabinet-front installation, the unit provides on-machine visualization and command entry for PLC-based motion or process lines. As an industrial automation component, it displays process states and sends touch commands back to the controller, reducing wiring complexity compared with discrete switches. It integrates a high-contrast display and a sealed front bezel so that status data and alarms remain visible in demanding production areas.

The panel presents information on a 381 mm (15") diagonal screen that uses a TFT active-matrix design. Images are rendered at 1024 × 768 pixels with a palette of 256,000 colors, enabling detailed mimic diagrams and trend graphs. An analog-resistive touch sensor serves as the primary input method, letting operators select setpoints without external keyboards. The protective front carries an IP65 rating, so jets of water and airborne dust do not interfere with the interface. At 68.4 mm of mounting depth, the unit fits shallow enclosures while maintaining full backlight uniformity. Overall display stability is supported by a rigid aluminum frame and a viewing geometry tuned to typical standing work positions.

The controller section runs on 24 V DC and draws up to 2 A. Internal dissipation is rated at 36 W, which helps with power-supply sizing inside the cabinet. Operation is specified up to 2000 m elevation without derating, and mechanical resilience reaches 15 g to survive incidental shock as well as 1 g of continuous vibration on moving machinery. The housing spans 417 mm in width and 380 mm in height, and the unit weighs 5.8 kg. The sealed bezel and shallow chassis support mounting on swing arms or cabinet doors.
