Operation with gloves
Projected capacitive touch screens (PCT) are suitable for operation with
or without gloves.
A large number of gloves (rubber gloves, light/heavy leather gloves,
disposable latex gloves, etc.) are supported.
Due to the variety of commercially available gloves, however, B&R can-
not guarantee all types.
Support for stylus pens
Passive stylus pens:
In principle, the Power Panel supports passive stylus pens. Due to the large number of passive stylus pens available
on the market, there may be functional differences. For this reason, B&R cannot comprehensively guarantee their
functionality.
Active stylus pens
are not supported!
Touch actions during cleaning
Touch actions can be triggered while cleaning the PCT touch screen. Cleaning is therefore only permitted to take
place when the power is switched off, see
