DC1005VK MP400 BERGHOF

Description

Detailed Parameter Table

Product Introduction

The Berghof DC1005VK MP400 is a compact, high‑performance Dialog Controller designed for machine and plant automation systems where control logic and operator interface merge into one device. Combining a 400 MHz PowerPC‐based control core (denoted by MP400) with an integrated display or HMI front, the DC1005VK MP400 allows OEMs and system builders to deploy an all‑in‑one platform for PLC functionality, visualisation and communication.

Within an automation system architecture, the DC1005VK MP400 serves both as the real‑time controller executing IEC 61131‑3 program logic (or C‐language applications) and the operator interface shell delivering visual status, alarms and manual interventions. It sits at the heart of mid‑sized machines, production lines or process skids, offering control, diagnostics, network integration and human‑machine interaction in one unit.

Berghof positioned the “VK” suffix to denote front panel models with a keyboard or touch interface, and the “MP400” identifier signals the faster controller variant (400 MHz class) within the DC1000/DC10xx family. The DC1005VK MP400 thus occupies the balance point between compact size and performance, enabling integrators to handle modern automation tasks where visibility, network connectivity and control speed are all important.

Core Advantages and Technical Highlights

Real‑time performance and contemporary hardware:
The DC1005VK MP400 embeds a PowerPC MP400 processor around 400 MHz, giving ample headroom for PLC cycles, operator interface rendering and multi‑network communication. This makes it suitable for demanding machine tasks involving motion control, recipe management or data logging.

Integrated HMI and control:
Unlike older split systems, the DC1005VK MP400 consolidates the HMI front and controller core in a single module. This reduces panel complexity, cabling, and footprint, while improving coherence between the user interface and underlying logic.

Extensive communication and expansion capability:
With embedded Ethernet, CAN‑bus and serial ports, plus three expansion slots for I/O or fieldbus modules, the DC1005VK MP400 enables flexible integration into modern automation architectures. It supports remote diagnostics, fieldbus connectivity and modular growth.

Industrial‑grade robustness:
Designed for panel mounting with an IP65 front, and for operation up to 60 °C, the DC1005VK MP400 supports installation in industrial environments. The modular chassis allows service access without removing the entire panel front.

Maintenance‑friendly:
The device supports firmware updates, SD‑card based applications (depending on revision), diagnostics LEDs, and modular replacement of I/O or expansion boards. This aids maintenance teams and supports long‑life installations.

Scalable ecosystem alignment:
Within Berghof’s Dialog Controller platform (DC1000/DC10xx series) the DC1005VK MP400 is a mid‑tier offering, allowing customers to standardize across models and keep training, spares and documentation consistent – helping to manage lifecycle cost.

Typical Application Scenarios

The DC1005VK MP400 is well suited for a wide range of machine and plant automation contexts:

• In packaging or production machinery where an integrated HMI and PLC must fit in a compact cabinet front, the DC1005VK MP400 delivers both visualization and logic control.
• In process skids or hygienic plant equipment (e.g., food & beverage, pharmaceutical) where space is limited but network connectivity and operator feedback are required.
• In retrofits of older machine controls where the existing panel needs a modern interface and higher performance logic — the DC1005VK MP400 replaces older boards with minimal panel redesign.
• In distributed automation topologies where this controller serves as a local machine master, communicating upstream via Ethernet while driving local I/O, bussing CAN for local devices.
• In flexible manufacturing lines requiring recipe management, data logging and multiple fieldbus links, the DC1005VK MP400 offers the power and interface features to meet those needs.

In each scenario, the DC1005VK MP400 provides a unified control+HMI platform, reducing system complexity, improving operator usability, and enabling modern automation capability without excessive cost or footprint.

Related Model Recommendations

• DC1005VK MP266 — A similar Dialog Controller with MP266 (266 MHz) core; ideal for less demanding logic loads while retaining interface feature set.
• DC1010VK MP400 — Larger screen variant (10.4″ or 12.1″) in the same family for machines requiring more display area.
• DC1005VK MP400 SC — Safety‑capable variant of the same model with certified safety logic for functional safety applications.
• B‑Fortis CC‑Prime — A more modern compact controller from Berghof with advanced connectivity and designed for higher integration; a potential upgrade path.
• DC1005MK MP400 — Keyboard‑only version (no touch) for industrial environments where operator displays are minimal but logic performance remains high.

Each of these models shares mechanical mounting, underlying platform architecture or upgrade path compatibility with the DC1005VK MP400, easing system design and spare‑parts strategy.
