Product Description

The 5AP920.1505-KB1 continues B&R's Automation Panel AP900 series legacy of delivering industrial-grade HMI hardware for intuitive operator control in harsh settings. It combines a generous 15-inch single-touch display module with LED backlights behind optically-bonded XGA graphics to clearly visualize processes. The panel body and interface feature hardened protection for responsiveness in dusty, humid environments.

This operator panel utilizes quality display attributes maximized within its compact footprint. TFT LCD technology contributes enhanced vibrancy and accuracy in rendering the 16.7 million colors this screen supports. Compared to consumer panels, the 5AP920.1505-KB1 accepts more extreme ambient conditions thanks to LED backlights lasting 50K hours alongside ruggedized electronics. Crisp dynamic images mean little for operator control without intuitive inputs. This model features projected capacitive touch sensing across the XGA 1024 x 768 pixel landscape screen. Single-point touch gestures maintain accuracy for gloved fingers without clumsy mechanical buttons and overlays susceptible to debris infiltration or fouling. The 15-inch screen allows ample real estate for HMI visualization software to create animated system mimic diagrams, data tables, and controller interfaces.

Wide 160-degree horizontal/vertical viewing ensures legibility for operators positioned at odd side angles. An optically bonded overlay combats washout under direct sunlight or enclosure glare. This capable panel hardware carries an IP65 rating plus NEMA 4X certification, readying it for washdown environments where water ingress threats abound. Compression-fit seals prevent moisture and dust from impairing the internal circuit boards and LED electronics from stray spray exposure. The operating temperature range spanning -20 degrees C to +60 degrees C suits non-conditioned enclosures.
