Product Description:

The VDP40.3ALN-D2-NN-NN operator panel is a human-machine interface manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the VDP IndraControl Panels series. The unit combines a 15-inch touch screen with integrated electronics to provide visualization and command entry for drives, PLCs, and motion controllers on automated lines. By mounting the panel close to machinery, operators can issue commands, view process variables, and respond to alarms without accessing the main control cabinet, reducing downtime and supporting decentralized control architectures.

Its graphics subsystem uses a 381 mm TFT (15 in) display that renders at 1024 x 768 pixels, giving clear detail for diagnostic windows and machine graphics. Color depth reaches 16 million colors, so status icons and trend charts remain distinct under varied lighting. The panel accepts a regulated input of 24 V DC, letting it share the same low-voltage supply bus as sensors and I/O modules. Communication with the higher-level controller is established over the CDI+ interface, which streams both process data and screen updates without additional protocol converters. Because interaction relies on touch control, no mechanical keys are needed, which reduces wear and sealing issues.

The housing is finished in Graphite Gray and measures 380 mm tall by 417 mm wide, allowing direct installation on pendant arms or machine frames. Transport limits are 15 g for shock and 1 g for vibration, so the panel withstands typical handling and in-service oscillations. At 5.8 kg, the panel remains manageable during installation or replacement. The design includes no optional interface and no USB port, which simplifies cable management and limits external media access. The flush front glass supports clean-in-place procedures in food or pharmaceutical settings while the capacitive touch surface maintains repeatable input accuracy over the panel’s service life.
