4.3 Technical information
4.3.1 Dependencies to hardware upgrades and Automation Runtime
Replaceability of Power Panels:
Power Panel C80 variants can be replaced without changing the Automation Studio project if the following features
are identical:
•
Quantity and type of interfaces
•
Display size and resolution
•
Display orientation
This means: Power Panel C80 variants can be replaced by each other if they differ only by the device color (coating)
or glass variant (anti-glare / not anti-glare, glass print, front panel overlays).
This way, a Power Panel C80 can be replaced with another panel overlay variant (including customized panel
overlay variant) without having to change the Automation Studio project.
4.3.2 Practical example of writing load in an application
200 kB of data (e.g. position data) can be written to internal memory every minute over a period of more than 20
years without reaching its end of life. It must be taken into account in this example that there are no other cyclic
write operations by the system and/or the application to the mass storage device.
In Automation Studio version 4.9 and later, the new "Disk health data" function is also available. This makes it
possible to monitor the service life of the mass storage device and to optimally adjust the write load from the
application to the Power Panel C80.

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!
