Product Description
The 5A9000.20 is a gasket replacement for the 5AP99D.156B-B62 cHMI unit (control Human-Machine Interface). It is made of strong silicone rubber, providing robustness and reliability in industrial touch screen interfaces. Its primary function is to seal the touch screen, protecting it against dust, moisture, and other foreign materials that could affect its operation. Additionally, this gasket is CE certified, ensuring it meets all necessary safety requirements for use in industrial environments.
Installation practices are crucial in protecting these devices from dust or moisture-laden surroundings. Although Automation Panels and Power Panels are designed to protect against dirt particles and liquids when mounted correctly, proper shielding should also be implemented at the back, where exposure to these conditions may occur, such as during wiring works. Regular servicing, including cleaning off visible dust, is essential, as neglecting this can lead to operational failures.
Network interfaces connecting B&R products must meet advanced security levels, especially given the importance of cyber security in industrial environments. Mitigation measures should be implemented during the deployment stage. Establishing secure connections between products and networks remains the customer's responsibility, requiring risk reduction techniques like segmenting networks with firewalls, authenticating users, and encrypting data via anti-virus applications. These steps help prevent unauthorized access, interference, or data leakage.
Functional tests carried out by B&R Industrial Automation GmbH are very strict, but it's still vital for customers to develop their own testing procedures, particularly after updating products, making significant system changes, patching third-party software, or replacing hardware. This ensures that the security measures implemented remain valid within the customer's environment while maintaining system functionality at the expected level.
