Overview

  • The Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation PanelView Plus 7 Compact 4.3″ is an advanced all-in-one Human Machine Controller (HMC) that integrates a graphical touchscreen HMI with full PLC logic control into a single, compact unit
  • Designed for applications with a smaller I/O footprint that still demand rich visualization, remote access capability, and IIoT connectivity
  • Programmed through a single unified software environment — no separate HMI and PLC tools required, reducing engineering time and project complexity
  • Class I, Division 2 rated, making it a trusted choice for installations in potentially hazardous industrial locations

Display & Touchscreen

  • 4.3″ WQVGA TFT display with 480 x 272 resolution and 16.7 million colors for clear, vibrant graphics
  • Resistive touchscreen with 115°/115° horizontal and vertical viewing angles for wide operator visibility
  • 400 cd/m² luminance with 500:1 contrast ratio and LED backlight rated at 25,000+ hours
  • Panel mount design with IP66-rated front panel, suitable for harsh plant floor and outdoor enclosure environments
