Buy Genuine UniOP 33A-BKDC16-T (BKDC-16T) Operator Panel – 24VDC, IP65 Front, RS232/485/422, In Stock

Product Overview

The UniOP 33A-BKDC16-T​ (also referenced as BKDC-16T) is a universal operator panel — a color touch-type Human-Machine Interface (HMI) — launched by Italy’s EXOR under the UniOP brand, purpose-built to serve as the primary visualization and control point for industrial automation systems. As a genuine “universal face” for production-line PLCs, the UniOP 33A-BKDC16-T​ consolidates multi-vendor controller data onto a single intuitive interface, enabling operators to monitor process variables, acknowledge alarms, adjust setpoints and issue commands without ever touching the cabinet-resident control logic. The UniOP 33A-BKDC16-T​ belongs to the BKDC-16 series of UniOP universal operator panels and is positioned as the upgraded configuration version of the now-discontinued BKDC-16 base model, making it a critical spare part for legacy HMI replacement projects worldwide.At the heart of the UniOP 33A-BKDC16-T​ lies a 5.7-inch color TFT liquid crystal display with 320×240 pixel resolution, overlaid by an analog resistive touchscreen that supports both touch operation and calibration. The panel is driven by a 32-bit RISC processor, with 512 KB of user memory expandable to 1 MB and 32 KB of recipe storage. A hardware real-time clock (RTC) powered by a CR2430 lithium battery ensures data retention and timestamp accuracy even during power outages. The UniOP 33A-BKDC16-T​ is equipped with 16 programmable function keys (some configurations include system keys and user LEDs), delivering a hybrid interface that combines the intuitiveness of touch navigation with the reliability of physical buttons for frequent, glove-friendly operations.Engineered for continuous industrial duty, the UniOP 33A-BKDC16-T​ operates on a typical 24 VDC supply (18–30 VDC input range) with power consumption ≤12 W. Its front panel carries an IP65 protection rating; the rear is IP20. The panel-embedded mounting form factor measures approximately 216 × 168 × 82 mm with a 202 × 154 mm cutout. Standard communication includes RS-232/485/422 serial ports and an optional AUX expansion port for fieldbus modules such as Profibus-DP and DeviceNet. The UniOP 33A-BKDC16-T​ natively supports 150+ industrial protocols — including Modbus RTU/ASCII, Modbus TCP/IP, AB DF1, Siemens PPI, Mitsubishi FX and many more — allowing direct interfacing with PLCs from virtually every major manufacturer. Although EXOR has officially discontinued original production of the UniOP 33A-BKDC16-T, genuine original surplus and refurbished spares remain available, programmed via UniOP D
