Product Description

The 4E0050.01-590 is a PANELWARE module developed by B&R Industrial Automation. It is very similar to its counterpart keypad module, the 4E0050.01-090. Like the 4E0050.01-090, the 4E0050.01-590 is a dummy or blank module that functions as a placeholder or a protector of unused connector slots. This special keypad module belongs to the 4E0 series and does not support integration with other keypads, controllers, and displays. As a dummy keypad module, the 4E0050.01-590 contains no keys or LEDs but exhibits the same construction, material, and dimensions common to all other standard keypads by B&R Automation.

The 4E0050.01-590 is a black special keypad module by B&R that features no keypads and LED backlight capability. The idea behind a blank or dummy keypad module is that it provides a casing for unutilized keypad or module connections. Instead of exposing unused connection ports for keypad modules, blank keypad modules such as the 4E0050.01-590 or 4E0050.01-090 preserve the integrity of the unused connection port from external dust or water jets. Specifically, the 4E0050.01-590's front panel casing has a protection category of IP 65. Since this keypad model is blank, it is not possible to connect the 4E0050.01-590 with other modules or facilitate communication via any interface.

Although the 4E0050.01-590 features no keys, LEDs, or fields for labels, this keypad model has the same dimensions and construction type as other standard keypad models by B&R. Standard keypad modules by B&R measure 96 mm (about 3.77 inches) wide, 96 mm high, and 35 mm (about 1.38 inches) deep. Aside from its dimensions and construction, the 4E0050.01-590 also follows the same standards for shock and vibration resistance as B&R Automation's keypad modules.
