The 4PP420.0571-K47 is a specific model within the B&R Power Panel 400 series. B&R (Bernecker + Rainer) is a well-known manufacturer of industrial automation solutions, including HMI (Human Machine Interface) devices, industrial PCs, and control systems.

Product Description

The B&R Power Panel 400 series are integrated HMI/Controller devices, meaning they combine the functionality of an operator interface (display and input) with a programmable logic controller (PLC) or industrial PC (IPC) in a single unit. This integration reduces wiring complexity, saves space, and offers a cohesive automation solution.

The 4PP420.0571-K47 specifically designates a configuration of the Power Panel 400. It typically features a 5.7-inch display with a touch screen for operator interaction. The "K47" in the part number often indicates a particular variant or configuration, possibly related to the display type (e.g., monochrome, color TFT), input method (resistive touch), or specific integrated features like a certain number of function keys or memory configuration. These panels are robustly built for industrial environments, offering reliable performance and durability.

Product Application Cases

The B&R 4PP420.0571-K47 is widely used across various industrial sectors where machine control and operator interaction are crucial.

• Machine Control Panels: Serving as the primary human-machine interface for a wide range of industrial machinery, from packaging machines, textile machines, and printing presses to assembly lines and specialized processing equipment. Operators can monitor machine status, enter parameters, and troubleshoot issues directly on the panel.
• Process Control: In smaller-scale process control applications, such as water treatment plants, food processing lines, or chemical batching systems, the integrated controller and HMI allow for localized control and visualization of process parameters.
• Building Automation: Used for controlling and monitoring systems in intelligent buildings, such as HVAC systems, lighting controls, and access management.
• Material Handling and Logistics: Integrated into conveyor systems, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), and robotic work cells to manage product flow, track inventory, and guide automated movements.
• Test and Measurement Equipment: Providing a user interface and control capabilities for industrial test benches, quality control stations, and laboratory automation equipment.
