Description
Product Overview
The B&R 5PC720-1505.01 is a Panel PC 720 industrial computer with a 15-inch XGA color TFT touchscreen, intended for machine visualization, operator control, industrial data processing, and HMI applications. B&R specifies a 1024 × 768 XGA display with analog resistive touch technology, two PCI half-size expansion slots, one drive slot, two RS-232 ports, three USB 2.0 ports, dual 10/100 Ethernet, DVI-I monitor output, and AC97 audio. The unit operates from 24 VDC and provides IP65/NEMA Type 4X protection on the front when correctly installed. Its modular PC architecture makes it particularly useful in legacy automation systems where proprietary HMI hardware may need to be maintained rather than redesigned.

Key Features and Benefits — 5PC720-1505.01
- 15-inch XGA industrial touchscreen
- 1024 × 768 resolution
- Analog resistive touch technology
- Two PCI expansion slots
- Dual Ethernet connectivity
- Two RS-232 serial interfaces
- Three USB 2.0 ports

Installation and Maintenance — 5PC720-1505.01
Before replacement, record the installed CPU board, RAM, CompactFlash or drive configuration, operating system, PCI expansion cards, and machine application. Verify the 24 VDC supply and allow sufficient current capacity for the complete computer configuration.
Inspect the touchscreen, cooling system, PCI connectors, storage media, and Ethernet ports before commissioning. Keep the front sealing gasket clean and correctly seated when IP65 protection is required.
Personally, I would clone or otherwise preserve the original storage media before changing this Panel PC. On older industrial computers, the application environment can be considerably harder to reproduce than the hardware itself.
Product Warranty — 5PC720-1505.01
Warranty coverage depends on supplier, condition, and purchase agreement. For new-old-stock, surplus, or refurbished units, confirm the exact hardware configuration, CPU board, memory, storage media, display condition, functional-test results, and warranty period before purchase.
B&R’s official documentation identifies the 5PC720.1505-01 as a Panel PC 720 with a 15-inch XGA touchscreen, two PCI slots, dual Ethernet, and 24 VDC operation.
