The provided document is the "Automation Panel 5000 User's manual V2.11" from B&R Industrial Automation GmbH, dated July 2020. It details the modular Automation Panel 5000 product generation, which can function as a remote panel or part of a Panel PC.

Function Description

The Automation Panel 5000 series serves as the foundation for both the Automation Panel 5000 and two Panel PC variants: Panel PC 2100 or Panel PC 2200 swing arm devices. These panels integrate a display and a touch screen, offering various display sizes, touch screen technologies, and mounting systems. They can also be equipped with operating elements.

To operate as a complete system, the panels must be combined with a link module (for Automation Panel 5000) or a system unit (PPC2100 or PPC2200 with Automation Panel 5000). Single-touch panels are identified by model numbers starting with 5AP5120.xxxx-xxx, while multi-touch panels begin with 5AP5130.xxxx-xxx. Multi-touch panels with an expansion option use model numbers starting with 5AP5230.xxxx-xxx.

Link modules are crucial components that provide various graphics interfaces and connections. An Automation Panel is assembled by installing a link module onto a panel. These modules cannot be operated independently.

Mounting units are installed on the back of the panel to protect the installed link module or system unit. They offer varying degrees of protection: IP65, IP54, IP20, or IP10, depending on the variant. Flanges, such as 5ACCFL00.0000-000, are installed on swing arm mounting units to connect the Automation Panel or Panel PC to a swing arm system. VESA brackets, used with VESA mounting units like 5ACCMA01.0100-000, allow for VESA 100 or VESA 75 installation.

Expansion units can be added to AP5230 panels with an expansion option. These units can be expansion covers, which have cutouts for user-installed operating elements, or expansion units with pre-integrated operating elements. Handles can also be installed on the sides of the panel for ergonomic operation.

The Automation Panel 5000 supports various connection options to a B&R industrial PC, including SDL, DVI, SDL3, or SDL4 operations.

Usage Features

Easy Customization: The modular design allows the Automation Panel 5000 to be easily customized. It can be configured with different panels, link modules, mounting units, flanges, and expansion units to meet specific application needs.

Connection Options:

SDL Operation: All communication (display data, touch screen, matrix keys, LEDs, service/diagnostic data, USB 1.1) occurs via a single SDL cable up to 30 m. Brightness is set via B&R Control Center.
SDL Operation with USB Cable: Communication via SDL cable and a separate USB type A/B cable. USB 2.0 transfer is possible up to 5 m.
DVI Operation: Display data via DVI cable, touch screen data via USB type A/B cable (multi-touch) or RS232 cable (single-touch). Brightness is controlled by dedicated buttons on the SDL/DVI receiver. Max cable length 5 m due to USB specification.
SDL3 Operation: All communication (display data, touch screen, matrix keys, LEDs, service/diagnostic data, USB 2.0) via a single SDL3 cable (min. Cat 6a Ethernet) up to 100 m. USB 2.0 transfer limited to 30 Mbit/s. Brightness set via ADI Control Center.
SDL4 Operation: Similar to SDL3, but USB 2.0 transfer limited to 150 Mbit/s.

Touch Screen Calibration: B&R touch screen devices are pre-calibrated at the factory. Recalibration is generally not required for replacement parts of the same model/type but is recommended for best results and user adaptation. Drivers are available for various Windows IoT Enterprise, Windows Embedded, Windows XP Professional, and B&R Linux operating systems.

Display Brightness Control: Brightness can be adjusted via the B&R Control Center in SDL, SDL3, or SDL4 modes, or using dedicated brightness buttons on the SDL/DVI receiver in DVI mode.

Button/Switch and LED Configuration: Each button and LED can be individually configured using B&R tools like Key Editor, KCF Editor, or Control Center for Windows, or Visual Components for Automation Runtime. They are processed by a matrix controller in a 128-bit string.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: The device should only be cleaned when switched off. A cloth moistened with dishwashing detergent, screen cleaner, or alcohol (ethanol) can be used. Abrasive cleaners, aggressive solvents, chemicals, compressed air, or steam cleaners are not permitted. Touch screens should be cleaned regularly.

Increasing Display Service Life:

Backlight: Reduce display brightness to the lowest comfortable level and avoid bright images to extend the "half-brightness time" (time until brightness is reduced by 50%).
Image Persistence: To prevent "burning in" of static images, continuously switch between static and dynamic images, avoid excessive brightness differences, use similar or complementary colors, and use screensavers.

Pixel Errors: Faulty pixels are considered a manufacturing process characteristic and are not grounds for complaint or warranty claim.

Repairs/Complaints and Replacement Parts: Unauthorized opening or repair is not permitted and can result in injury or damage. Repairs must be carried out by authorized qualified personnel at the manufacturer's premises. Repair orders or complaints are processed via the B&R Material Return Portal. Only B&R-approved components are allowed for maintenance.

Firmware Upgrade: BIOS and firmware on B&R devices should be kept up to date. Firmware upgrades for Automation Panels, SDL3 Converters, and SDL4 Converters are available from the B&R website. The device must not be switched off or reset during an upgrade.

Temperature Monitoring: A sensor in the display monitors the panel temperature. Maximum specified temperatures are provided, and if exceeded, no alarm is triggered. Temperatures can be read out via BIOS, B&R Control Center, B&R ADI Development Kit, B&R ADI .NET SDK, B&R HMI Service Center, B&R HMI Diagnose, B&R PVI ADI line, B&R ADI SNMP Agent, or Automation Runtime library.
