B&R 4PP065.0571-X74F Power Panel PP65 5.7″ HMI Controller

B&R 4PP065.0571-X74F is a small Power Panel PP65 operator interface that has a 5.7″ color TFT touch screen, an integrated controller, Ethernet and POWERLINK communication, a USB port, and a CompactFlash slot. The “X74F” version usually comes with an application memory card already installed, which is why the listings say it comes with a memory card. ​

Product Overview:

• Type 4PP065.0571-X74F of the B&R Power Panel 65
• Function: This is an integrated HMI and PLC-class controller for automating machines and processes. It has a 5.7″ touch screen, function keys, fieldbus interfaces, and removable CompactFlash application memory.
• Common use: as a front-end operator console and controller in industrial control panels, providing visualization, data processing, and communication with I/O and other controllers by Ethernet/POWERLINK or other interface modules. ​

Display and user interface

• The display is a 5.7″ TFT color LCD with a QVGA resolution of 320 × 240 pixels and about 262,000 colors. The contrast ratio is about 350:1. ​
• roughly 60° to the left and right for horizontal viewing angles, and roughly 65° up and 50° down for vertical viewing angles. ​
• Backlight: The brightness is about 500 cd/m², and the average half-brightness life is 50,000 hours. ​
• Touchscreen: 12-bit controller with analog resistive touch and about 70% ±10% transmittance. ​
• Keys: The front has 10 customizable function keys and a touch screen. ​
• IP65 / NEMA 4X (dust and sprayed water) protection on the front when mounted correctly; IP20 protection on the back with a CompactFlash card inserted. ​

Central processing unit (CPU), RAM, and operating system

• The processor is an AMD Geode LX800 with a 32-bit x86 CPU that runs at 500 MHz. It has a 128 kB L1 cache (split I/D) and a 128 kB L2 cache. It supports MMX and 3DNow instruction extensions and has an inbuilt FPU. ​
• System software: B&R Automation Runtime (AR) and PP65 are only supported from version A3.01. The bootloader and firmware are contained in 4 MB of internal flash. ​
• Main system memory is 128 MB DDR SDRAM. ​
• Remanent memory: 232 kB of SRAM for user data and 32 kB set aside for remanent variables. ​
• Application memory: The CompactFlash slot (Type I) is the main IDE device for user program/application memory. The X74F model usually comes with a CompactFlash card already attached and set up. ​

Connections and interfaces

• The unit has one CF Type I slot for CompactFlash, which is used to store firmware and user applications. An orange “CF” LED shows that the CF is accessible. ​
• USB: 2 USB 2.0 host ports (Type A) that can handle low, full, and high speeds (1.5, 12, and 480 Mbit/s) with a maximum current of 500 mA per port and built-in current limiting. ​

Ethernet:

1. 1 x 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface (Intel 82551ER controller) through a shielded RJ45
2. Works with CAT5 S/STP cabling and 10/100 Mbit/s speeds. It also has link/activity LED lights

POWERLINK:

• 1 x POWERLINK (V1/V2) real-time Ethernet fieldbus interface through RJ45, 100 Mbit/s, and 100Base-T operation
• A diagnostic dual LED (green/red) shows the status and errors of POWERLINK, and there are defined blink codes for system failures

Expansion interface modules:

• 4PP065.IF10-1: 1 x RS232
• 4PP065.IF23–1: 1 × CAN (isolated) + RS232 + RS485/RS422 (isolated, network-capable)
• 4PP065.IF24–1: PROFIBUS DP slave (not connected) + RS232 + RS422/RS485 (not connected)
• 4PP065.IF33‑1: Two isolated CAN interfaces

Data about the environment and electricity

• Nominal supply voltage: 24 VDC, with a tolerance of ±25%
• Current and power: The normal current is roughly 0.45 A at 24 VDC, the inrush current can be as high as 2.8 A, and the normal power use is about 10 W. For overload protection, you need a 5 A fuse that works quickly from the outside
• Isolation: The supply does not have galvanic isolation, thus it needs to be properly grounded by a functional earth connection with the shortest conductor available
• Operating temperature: 0 to 50 °C; storage and transport: −20 to +70 °C
• Humidity: 10–90% non-condensing while in use; the same restrictions apply to storage, however the requirement is stricter when the temperature is over 40 °C
• For continuous operation, vibration (operation) should be between 2 and 9 Hz at 1.75 mm amplitude and between 9 and 200 Hz at 0.5 g
• Shock: 15 g for 11 ms of use; 30 g for 15 ms of storage or travel
• Installation altitude: Up to 2000 m with no derating; above 2000 m, the maximum ambient temperature drops by 0.5 °C for every 100 m

Characteristics of mechanics

• Housing: The housing is made of polyester and has a multi-layered front foil/overlay that is meant to be mounted to a panel.
• Dimensions (size of the outside panel):

1. 203 mm wide
2. 145 mm high
3. 56.5 mm deep​

• Cut-out for the panel: About 188 ±0.5 mm × 130 ±0.5 mm in the mounting panel.
• Weight: The PP65 5.7″ versions (without an interface module) weigh about 0.75 kg, and some listings for the X74/X74F show that they weigh about 0.85 kg with the battery and mounting.
