Product Overview

The B&R 5PP320.1043-39​ is a fanless 10.4-inch Power Panel from B&R's PP320 series, combining a high-resolution VGA color TFT touch display with an integrated BIOS-based industrial controller to deliver a compact, all-in-one human-machine interface (HMI) and programmable computer (PCC) solution. At the heart of the B&R 5PP320.1043-39​ lies an AMD Geode LX800 processor running at 500 MHz with 128 kB L1 and 128 kB L2 cache, 256 MB SDRAM, and 2 MB onboard firmware flash, providing sufficient deterministic computing power for machine-level automation, process visualization, and operator interaction tasks. The "-39" suffix designates the BIOS bootloader variant (B&R ID code 0x23D0), distinguishing the B&R 5PP320.1043-39​ from the Automation Runtime-only 4PP320 models and giving machine builders the flexibility to deploy Windows CE, Windows XP Embedded, or B&R Automation Runtime on the same hardware platform. The B&R 5PP320.1043-39​ features a 10.4-inch analog resistive touch screen with a 640 × 480 VGA resolution, 262,144 colors, 900:1 contrast ratio, and a long-life LED backlight rated at 450 cd/m² with a half-brightness lifespan of 70,000 hours. The front panel adopts a naturally anodized aluminum frame with a polyester overlay and achieves IP65 / NEMA 250 Type 4X protection against dust and hose-directed water, while the rear housing is IP20 and must be installed inside a control cabinet. Measuring 323 × 260 × 65.5 mm and weighing approximately 3.7 kg, the B&R 5PP320.1043-39​ is designed for flush panel mounting on machine cabinet doors, with a standardized cutout that is interchangeable with other 10.4-inch PP320 family members for seamless retrofits without modifying the enclosure opening. Powered by a galvanically isolated 18–30 V DC supply (nominal 24 V DC, 0.63 A, 15 W typical), the B&R 5PP320.1043-39​ operates completely fanless via a passive heatsink—eliminating bearing wear and filter maintenance in dusty industrial environments. Connectivity includes one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port (Intel 82551ER), one RS232 serial port with modem support, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and a Type I CompactFlash slot. An MTCX watchdog circuit, power-failure buffering capacitor (≈10 minute RTC backup), externally accessible RTC battery (Renata 950 mAh, 4-year service life), power/reset buttons, and two 16-position mode/node DIP switches make the B&R 5PP320.1043-39​ exceptionally serviceable. With CE, UKCA, and UL/cULus (E115267) certifications and an operating temperature range of 0 to +50 °C, the module is purpose-built for continuous-duty machine-level and process automation applications.
