6PFT50.101E-10B
The 6PFT50.101E-10B from B & R Automation is a robust addition to the 6PFT PLC Modules series, delivering industrial-grade performance in a compact form factor. This high-performance module features a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU and 512 MB of controller processor flash, enabling rapid execution of complex control algorithms. A vibrant 10.1 inch TFT color touchscreen with 16 million display colors and a glass touch surface ensures clear visualization and intuitive input. Power over Ethernet support via IEEE 802.3af (PoE) simplifies installation by combining data and power over a single cable, while the integrated USB 2.0 interface provides additional connectivity options.
Featuring an array of technical capabilities, this PLC module offers a display backlight brightness dimmable feature with a half-brightness time of 40,000 h, ensuring long-term readability under varying lighting conditions. The TFT color display leverages advanced thin-film transistor technology for sharp graphics, and the glass touchscreen provides both durability and precision. The Interfaces IF3 Type: USB 2.0 port supports programming and peripheral expansion with a current-carrying capacity of 0.5 A, while the IEEE 802.3af (PoE) variant reduces cabling complexity. Under the hood, the ARM Cortex-A9, dual core architecture maximizes parallel processing, and 512 MB of flash memory allows extensive data logging and firmware storage without the need for external media.
Designed for the toughest industrial environments, the module operates reliably across an ambient temperature range of –20 to 55 °C and can be stored safely from –30 to 80 °C. When fitted with appropriate accessories, it achieves an IP67 degree of protection, safeguarding against dust ingress and immersion, while meeting UL 50 Type 1, 4X indoor and Type 12 standards for additional environmental resilience. The rugged housing and robust component selection ensure resistance to shock and vibration, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. With glass-surface touchscreen construction and advanced backlight technology, this PLC maintains consistent performance and user accessibility over extended service life.
Integration into existing automation networks is streamlined through standard Ethernet and USB interfaces, enabling seamless communication with controllers, HMIs, and SCADA systems. The PoE capability allows placement in locations without local power outlets, enhancing installation flexibility in machine tools, conveyor systems, and remote monitoring stations. Its compact 10.1 inch profile and versatile mounting options facilitate retrofit projects and new installations alike. Engineers can leverage the module’s extensive connectivity and rugged design to deploy solutions in manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and process automation applications with confidence.
