4PP420.1043-K60
The 4PP420.1043-K60 from B & R Automation is a member of the 4PP Power Panels series, offering a bright 10.4 inch TFT color touch screen with an 800 x 600 pixel resolution. Powered by an Intel Atom processor, this panel delivers reliable performance in industrial automation settings. The unit comes equipped with 512 MB RAM and 1 GB Flash storage, ensuring sufficient memory for complex operator interfaces. Its front bears an IP65 protection rating, while the rear meets IP20 standards, making it suitable for harsh operating environments. With a compact footprint defined by Dimensions: 301 x 228 x 59 mm and a weight of approximately 2.5 kg, it integrates easily into existing control cabinets.
This power panel’s connectivity options are comprehensive, including 2 x Ethernet ports for high-speed network communication and 2 x USB 2.0 sockets for peripheral attachment. It also features a RS232 interface, an RS422/485 channel, and a CAN bus port to support diverse fieldbus topologies. The panel operates on a 24 V DC supply and draws a maximum power of 23 W, optimizing energy efficiency. The display employs an analog resistive touch screen for precise input, even when using gloved hands or stylus devices. With operating capabilities from 0 °C to +55 °C, it maintains stable performance across a broad temperature range.
Designed for uninterrupted industrial use, the panel’s passive cooling design ensures silent operation and minimizes maintenance needs. An integrated watchdog controller and power-failure logic safeguard critical HMI tasks and prevent data loss during unexpected outages. The touch screen’s half-brightness backlight lifetime exceeds 55,000 hours at 350 cd/m² brightness, guaranteeing consistent visibility under factory lighting. Dual mode/node switches allow flexible operator control with up to 16-digit input capability per switch. Rugged construction and a robust front seal protect internal electronics from dust and spray, enhancing reliability in automated production lines.
Integration of the 4PP420.1043-K60 is straightforward due to its versatile interface set and industry-standard mounting dimensions. It seamlessly connects to PLCs, motion controllers, and SCADA systems via Ethernet and CAN networks, enabling synchronized automation architectures. The panel’s compact size and front-panel sealing make it ideal for machine tool control, packaging systems, and process automation modules. Engineers will appreciate its straightforward configuration and compatibility with B & R’s software suite for rapid deployment in complex industrial applications.
