4PP420.1043-K37
The 4PP420.1043-K37 from B & R Automation is a member of the 4PP Power Panels series, featuring a robust industrial design tailored for demanding automation environments. This 10.4-inch TFT LCD panel delivers an 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) resolution to render crisp graphics and detailed operator interfaces. Equipped with 512 MB of RAM and 2 GB Flash Memory, it balances memory capacity with speed to handle complex HMI applications. The panel’s integrated Intel Atom Processor running at 500 MHz and a Geode LX800 processor core provide dependable performance with low power draw. User interaction is optimized via analog resistive touch technology, while the SD card slot allows for convenient project updates and data logging.
With dual 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet ports, the 4PP420.1043-K37 supports high-throughput network connectivity and deterministic data exchange in factory networks. Communication options extend to a RS232 and a combined RS485/RS422 serial interface, plus 2 x USB 2.0 (Type A) and 1 x USB Mini B for peripheral integration and programming. The panel’s 24 VDC power supply input and max. 34 W power consumption specification ensure compatibility with standard industrial power architectures. An onboard MTCX Watchdog mechanism continuously monitors system health to prevent unplanned downtime. Passive thermal management via an integrated heat sink eliminates moving parts, enhancing operational silence and reducing maintenance requirements.
Built to withstand harsh operating conditions, the front faceplate of the panel carries an IP65 rating for protection against dust ingress and water jets. It operates reliably across an operating temperature of 0 to +55°C, ensuring stable performance in both hot and cold environments. The module’s robust mechanical design includes power and status LEDs for immediate visual feedback on Power/User and CF card activity. A dedicated reset button and dual mode/node switches with 16 positions each enable rapid reconfiguration and safe recovery during maintenance. Its compact profile, flexible I/O options, and seamless integration with B&R Automation’s Automation Runtime make the 4PP420.1043-K37 ideally suited for machine control, process monitoring, and supervisory HMI tasks in automotive, packaging, and material handling applications.
