Product Description

The 4MP281.0843-Kf mobile panel from B&R Automation enables flexible control through a portable yet rugged design. At its core is an 8.4-inch TFT color LCD that displays clear visuals with a resolution of 800 by 600 pixels. This screen integrates effortlessly into any industrial workflow through a resistive touch interface and gray housing fitted for handheld use. Powered by an energy-efficient 32-bit ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the panel runs multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. Applications develop rapidly using familiar programming platforms, allowing operators to conveniently interact with systems through the simple touchscreen, function keys, and CAN bus connection. Wireless devices attach via integrated USB and Ethernet ports to transfer data or configurations.

Reliability persists throughout demanding industrial environments due to an operating temperature range from 0 to 50 degrees Celsius. Protection against dust and liquid hazards arises from the IP65-rated front panel. Up to ten minutes of backup operation occurs if the main power disconnects, using an internal lithium-ion battery and supercapacitor. Minimal downtime results from the automatic switch to these backup power sources, ensuring continuous operation. Portability is maximized at a weight under one kilogram, including the battery. Control moves directly to machines with the mobile interface rather than relying on a stationary panel, allowing for more flexible direction of complex production flows through roaming supervision. Technicians can swiftly access diagnostics from any location on the plant floor.

Energy usage remains low through efficient system components, with a typical power draw holding at eight watts even during continuous operation. Automation progresses without tethering to fixed workstations or consuming excessive energy, and streamlined interaction transfers between operators as tasks change hands. Altogether, the 4MP281.0843-Kf balances mobility with the ruggedness demanded by industrial use cases. Its versatile and energy-saving design empowers flexible human-machine interaction models for evolving factory automation needs.
