Product Description:

The VDP40.3DFN-D1-NN-MX operator panel is manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the VDP IndraControl Panels series. The unit serves as a combined display and input station for PLC-based automation, allowing machine operators to issue commands and view process data from a single front plate. Integrated touch sensing and dedicated machine keys let the panel interface directly with drive and control hardware, making it a compact visualization component for CNC machines, packaging lines, and assembly cells. This layout keeps local control and process visibility together at the machine.

The front face carries a 15-inch TFT display capable of rendering 256,000 colors, so detailed status graphics and alarm icons remain discernible under factory lighting. The active image area measures 15 in diagonally and is driven through the Control Display Interface bus to the controller. A sealed aluminum bezel rated at IP65 helps prevent dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, permitting flush-mount installation on electrical cabinets. Operators can use either the resistive touch surface or any of the 16 membrane machine keys for data entry, while the panel depth of 46 mm keeps protrusion inside the cabinet minimal. The housing is 407 mm wide and 370 mm high, and continuous operation requires only 35 W of input power, which helps limit heat load inside the enclosure.

Internal electronics run from a regulated 24 VDC supply and draw a peak of 2 A, allowing the screen, backlight, and controller electronics to start simultaneously without overloading standard control-cabinet power buses. Image clarity is enhanced by its XGA resolution of 1024 x 768, giving enough pixels for SCADA mimic diagrams and fine trend lines. For peripheral communication, the panel offers 5 USB ports on the rear edge, and the complete assembly weighs only 5.8 kg, which supports swing-arm or panel-arm mounting. The compact weight also reduces load on the supporting structure.
