2 Power Panel 65
2.1 System features
The PP65 is an especially compact addition to the proven Power Panel product family. Modular fieldbus interfaces
ensure flexible integration in all configurations.
Ethernet, POWERLINK and X2X Link are used for the communication system. Additionally, these devices have
been equipped with a slot for interface modules. Depending on requirements, the Power Panel 65 can be expanded
with CAN bus, a PROFIBUS DP slave or an RS485/RS232 interface, making it perfectly suited for demanding
tasks. Customized panel overlay designs are also available.

Integrates controller, visualization and I/O interface
2.1.1 Compact solution
The PP65 is both a controller and an operator panel. Any necessary peripherals can be connected using the
integrated X2X interface. Using the optional interface modules, it is also possible to connect other B&R products
or even to integrate the PP65 into control systems from other manufacturers. All components are situated in a
compact housing with a 3.5" or 5.7" QVGA TFT display.
2.1.2 Simple programming
Full integration of the HMI application into B&R's Automation Studio programming and diagnostic tool goes without
saying. The same is true for programming in all of the IEC languages offered by B&R as well as Automation Basic
and ANSI C.
2.1.3 Perfect for multi-axis applications
The PP65 is equipped with a powerful Geode LX800 processor with 500 MHz clock frequency. With this computing
power, the PP65 provides performance that was previously only achieved by the PP400. The PP65 is therefore
especially suitable for multi-axis applications that require lots of computing power but only have limited space in
the control cabinet. The compact dimensions of the PP45 have been taken over in this case.
2.1.4 Display and interfaces provide maximum flexibility
The PP65 provides maximum flexibility with two different display types with identical installation dimensions: a 5.7"
model with touch screen (and no function keys) and a 3.5" model with touch screen and 30 function keys.
Equipped with 2 USB interfaces and a Fast Ethernet port for exchanging data with higher level systems, the PP65
is also available with integrated X2X or POWERLINK interface options for connecting remote I/O modules and
drives. These systems can be further extended with RS232/RS485, CAN and PROFIBUS DP slave interfaces to
meet any requirement.
