5PC720.1214-K02
The B & R Automation 5PC720.1214-K02 is a compact industrial panel PC in the 5PC Industrial Automation Units series, designed to deliver reliable human–machine interface functionality in harsh environments. This unit integrates a 12.1 inch resistive touchscreen with 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) resolution, providing clear visualization of process data and control menus. Powered by an Intel Celeron, 2 cores, 1.6 GHz CPU and equipped with 4 GB DDR4 RAM, the 5PC720.1214-K02 meets the processing demands of modern SCADA and PLC applications. The front bezel carries an IP65 (front) protection class rating, ensuring dust and splash resistance, while the rear of the enclosure maintains an IP20 (rear) rating. Weighing just 3.5 kg, this unit balances performance with a form factor suitable for panel mounting.
Detailed specifications of the 5PC720.1214-K02 reveal a rugged design tailored for factory-floor deployment. The chassis measures 332 mm x 258 mm x 59 mm (w x h x d), making it compatible with standard panel cutouts. The unit supports an Operating Voltage of 24 VDC (18–30 VDC) and functions reliably within an Operating Temperature range of 0°C to +50°C. Storage is provided by a 128 GB SSD, offering fast boot times and data logging capability. Independent certification is demonstrated by cUR Approved and Ucl Approved marks, confirming compliance with North American and European safety standards.
Operational features of the 5PC720.1214-K02 facilitate versatile connectivity and integration. Two 2x Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps) enable network communication and redundant link setups. Peripheral expansion is supported through 2x USB 3.0 Type-A sockets offering up to 5 Gbit/s throughput, and two 2x RS232 COM ports (16550-compatible UART logic) permitting legacy serial device integration. A single 1x DisplayPort output allows connection of external monitors for diagnostics or mirrored operator displays. The resistive touch interface remains responsive under gloves or in damp conditions, while panel mounting hardware ensures stable installation on control cabinets.
System integration is streamlined for industrial automation environments. Native support for PLC communication protocols and direct coupling to B & R controllers reduce system complexity. The compact panel form factor, combined with Mounting Options: Panel mounting, allows straightforward retrofit into existing switchgear or machine control stations. The durability and performance of the 5PC720.1214-K02 make it ideal for applications in manufacturing execution systems, process monitoring, and real-time control tasks where reliable operator interaction is critical.
