Product Description

The 5AP980.1505-K15 from B&R is a robust 15-inch color TFT display panel featuring high image quality for user interaction. Its native resolution of 1024 by 768 pixels provides detailed visuals across the screen through 16.7 million supported colors. Designed for reliable performance in industrial environments, this display excels with a contrast ratio of 700:1 for vivid, easy-to-read content. Viewing angles of 80 degrees horizontally and 70 degrees vertically allow for clear visibility from multiple positions. The dimmable LED backlight ranges from 20 to 400 candelas per square meter, ensuring optimum brightness irrespective of ambient lighting conditions. An analog resistive touchscreen with 81% transmittance facilitates intuitive control, and a durable design incorporates IP65 protection on the front for resistance to dust and liquids.

Functionality is maximized through 20 capacitive function keys located along the bottom, each equipped with long-life yellow LED indicators. Above sit 12 yellow-lit soft keys to extend interfacing options. The ergonomic placement of all keys streamlines common tasks, allowing convenient navigation and adjustment of automation processes through the combination of touch input and distinct buttons. Operation remains simple through a dedicated B&R serial touch controller and 12-bit multi-touch recognition. The keys are rated for over one million activations to withstand constant industrial usage, with actuation force ranging from one to three Newtons, enabling button presses with light tactile feedback. These design aspects allow for reliable function even with dirt or oils present.

Protection against environmental factors extends to an IP20 rating on the back. High transmission through the touchscreen, along with LED dimming, preserves visibility regardless of lighting. Vibration resistance and a compact footprint of less than three kilograms facilitate varied integration scenarios. Minimal customization is required due to widespread compatibility with B&R automation devices and software.
