Thanks to their practical functions and large user memory, TP 177B Touch Panels can be used wherever operator control and monitoring of machines and plants is necessary on site – whether in production automation, process automation or building-services automation. The TP 177B is available in two display sizes: 4.3" TFT widescreen display with 256 colors or 5.7" STN display with 256 colors or 4 blue levels. The 4" version features four additional function keys for optimized operator control efficiency. The color versions with integrated PROFINET I/O interface can be implemented with even greater flexibility. A USB interface is standard on all model types. A further highlight is the non-volatile message buffer included as standard that stores messages permanently without battery backup.
The TP 177B PN/DP with stainless steel front has been designed for all industries requiring such. The front can be disinfected, and does not affect the quality e.g. of foods (assuming regular cleaning). Cleaning can be carried out using pressurized water with a jet of 100 l/min at 1 bar from a distance of 2.5 to 3 m. Liquids flow off automatically from the front panels.
