Product Description:

The VEP40.5EIN-2G02E-A3D-NNN-NN-FW is an embedded operator interface from Bosch Rexroth Indramat, supplied within the VEP Embedded Terminals series. It combines a capacitive touch screen with discrete operator keys to support both gloved and keyed input on the factory floor. The 30.7 cm (12.1 in) display renders up to 256,000 colors, giving adequate visual detail for process graphics and diagnostics. As a human-machine interface, the unit links controllers and field devices, allowing direct command entry, status review, and alarm acknowledgment in industrial automation cells and skid-mounted equipment. The mixed input layout also helps when a touch-only interface is less practical because frequently used functions can remain available on dedicated keys.

Processing is handled by an Atom 1.66 GHz CPU that works with 2 GB of installed memory to run visualization software and data logging at the same time. Screen content is shown at 800 × 600 pixels, a resolution that matches the panel size without scaling artifacts. The terminal draws only 36 W from its control-cabinet power bus rated at 24 V DC. Two RJ-45 Ethernet ports enable segmented networking, while three USB ports support external storage or barcode readers. Field wiring also includes two dedicated CF card sockets for removable media and a pair of serial channels for device integration. This group of interfaces allows the panel to communicate with control hardware, exchange archived files, and connect with peripheral devices from the same enclosure.

With a mounting depth of 51 mm, the unit fits shallow enclosures and swing arms. The aluminum front carries IP65 protection, sealing the touch surface against dust and low-pressure water jets, while the overall rear housing remains at IP20 for cabinet interiors. A built-in RS232 port permits direct parameter access on serial instruments that lack Ethernet capability. Despite the metal bezel and internal backlight, the device weighs only 3.9 kg, which reduces load on articulated support arms. The front-facing sealing and compact profile also make the terminal suitable for installation points where space is limited and the display surface is exposed to routine washdown or airborne debris.
