April 29, 2019 – B&R’s Power Panel C50 provides a controller and a projected capacitive touch screen in an HMI device. The Power Panel is equipped with a dedicated processor for the HMI application, and is therefore a solution for mapp View HMI applications. It can be used at temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C and does not require a fan.
The modern multi-touch HMI is available with clear or anti-reflective glass. The touch screen reacts reliably when operated with thick leather gloves. The Power Panel C50 is available in widescreen format in four different sizes from 7.0" to 15.6".
This Power Panel has no hard disks, fans or batteries. The front of the panel provides IP65 protection, making it suited for industrial environments.
The Power Panel C50 has a range of integrated interfaces, including POWERLINK, Ethernet and USB. I/O modules, axes and safety components can also be connected directly to the panel. The Power Panel C50 is designed for running mapp View HMI applications. With the mapp View software package, B&R offers direct access to the wide world of web technology right from the engineering environment. Automation engineers have all the tools they need to create HMI solutions.
There is no need to deal directly with HTML5, CSS and JavaScript technology. mapp View is based entirely on web standards, ensuring optimal viewing on any device. Content of multiple screens can be customized for specific users or user groups.
