Product Description

The 4PP015.E420-36 is a power panel model from the Power Panel 15 range of devices made by the B & R Automation firm. It is a 24 VDC unit with a maximum power consumption rating of 6 W. It has a black and white screen with a display resolution of 4 by 20 characters and LED background lighting. There are 1024 kilobytes of FlashPROM memory on the unit as well as 300 kilobytes of SRAM user RAM. The real-time clock on the unit has a 1 second resolution and uses non-volatile memory. The operating system for the unit is the PP01x (version V 2.36 and higher). The average instruction cycle time of the processor on the device is 0.8 microseconds.

The 4PP015.E420-36 supports the RS232 interface with a 9-pin DSUB port as well as the CAN bus interface. The CAN bus interface is electrically isolated and has a maximum bus length distance of 1000 meters. It has a maximum transfer rate of 50 kilobits per second at the maximum bus length. The product has 26 keys in total, with 10 of them having LEDs. There are controls keys as well as a number block. The unit also has LEDs for the status display, input and output functions, and the available interfaces.

The 4PP015.E420-36 power panel has 8 channels for digital outputs and 4 channels for analog inputs. The maximum switching voltage for the outputs is 30 VDC while the maximum switching frequency is 100 hertz. The switching delay for the outputs is 500 microseconds. The outputs feature overload protection and short-circuit protection. They have a nominal output current rating of 0.5 A and a total current of 4 A.
