BPT 67200020 Multifunction Touch Terminal

The BPT 67200020 is a multifunction touch terminal designed for use as an operator interface in industrial automation and building management systems. This device combines a high‑visibility touch screen display with programmable control functions, allowing operators to monitor processes, acknowledge alarms, and input commands. It operates on a 50 Hz power supply (common in European and other 50 Hz grid regions). The terminal is compatible with a wide range of programmable logic controllers via standard serial or Ethernet communication protocols. BPT is known for producing reliable HMI products for HVAC, lighting control, and manufacturing applications. The 67200020 model includes a built‑in web server for remote monitoring and supports multiple languages.

Function and Use

The BPT 67200020 serves as an operator interface terminal for PLCs and other controllers. It can display machine status, trend charts, alarm lists, and parameter entry screens. The touch screen allows operators to start/stop processes, change setpoints, and acknowledge alarms. The terminal’s programmable environment supports creation of up to 500 screens (depending on memory). The built‑in web server enables remote monitoring via a standard browser, allowing plant managers to view production data without being physically at the terminal. The terminal also supports data logging to a USB drive or internal memory, allowing long‑term collection of process variables for analysis.

Programming

The terminal is programmed using BPT Designer software (available from the manufacturer). The software supports drag‑and‑drop creation of graphical objects, alarms, trends, and recipes. It includes a library of pre‑defined PLC drivers for major brands (Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Allen‑Bradley). Communication settings are configured via the software, including IP address, baud rate, and protocol parameters. The user program is downloaded via Ethernet or USB. The software also includes a simulation mode to test screen designs offline. Multi‑language text support allows runtime switching between up to 10 languages.

Applications

The BPT 67200020 is suitable for industrial applications such as packaging machines, conveyor control, small process skids, and test stands. It is also used in building automation for HVAC system monitoring, lighting control, and access control panels. The IP65 front rating allows installation in food processing environments where washdown is required. The 50 Hz compatibility makes it suitable for European and other 50 Hz grid countries.

Installation

The terminal is panel‑mounted using the supplied clips. A cutout of approximately 192 mm × 138 mm is required. Ensure a sealing gasket is properly seated to maintain IP65 protection. Connect power (100‑240 V AC, 50 Hz) to the terminal’s power terminals. Connect the PLC or controller to the appropriate communication port. For Ethernet, use a shielded Cat5e cable. For serial, use shielded cable with proper pinout (refer to manual). After wiring, power on the terminal and configure the communication settings using the setup menu or programming software.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

The terminal requires no periodic maintenance beyond cleaning the screen with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. If the touch screen becomes unresponsive, recalibrate using the setup menu. If communication with the PLC fails, check the cable continuity, protocol settings, and terminal’s IP address (if using Ethernet). The terminal stores error logs that can be viewed via the diagnostics menu. Firmware updates are performed via USB or Ethernet using BPT Designer.

Conclusion

The BPT 67200020 multifunction touch terminal provides a cost‑effective, robust HMI solution for industrial and building automation. Its 50 Hz operation, touch interface, and multiple communication options make it a versatile choice for operators needing to interact with PLC‑based control systems.
