Product Description

The 5AP920.1505-K80 from B&R Automation's AP900 series lineup of industrial operator interfaces brings versatile 15-inch touch screen capabilities in a panel-mounted package purpose-built to thrive in punishing environments. The robust TFT LCD display and intuitive single-touch interface empower intuitive HMI control for diverse automated equipment.

This automation panel centers around the generous 15-inch color screen, rendered using proven TFT LCD technology to deliver vibrant 1024 x 768 XGA graphics. Compared to consumer-grade panels, the industrial-hardened construction better withstands prolonged operation in tough ambient settings rife with vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures. Vibrant images with accurate color reproduction are critical for HMI visualization. The 5AP920.1505-K80 renders 16.7 million colors on its optically bonded touch screen, enabling crisp, realistic visualization of machine states. Combined with wide viewing angles up to 85-degrees and LED backlighting rated for 50,000 hours, the operational display remains clearly visible even under stray glare or enclosures.

Responsive interaction with on-screen process data and machine controls comes courtesy of projected capacitive touch technology built into the front panel. By detecting finger contact capacitively, the touch overlay brings precise gestures without susceptibility to surface debris or fluids, which impair resistive touch screens. Single-point touch gestures maintain responsiveness even for operators wearing protective gloves. This capable HMI hardware carries an IP65 protection rating, qualifying it for washdown duty and preventing errant low-pressure water jets from infiltrating its electronic interior. Reliable performance endures across a -20 to +60 degrees C operational range.
