B&R 5DLSD3.1000-00 – SDL3 interface module for reliable long‑distance HMI connections

The B&R 5DLSD3.1000-00 is built for Smart Display Link 3 (SDL3) connectivity. In many cases, it’s the cleanest way to bridge a Panel PC and an Automation Panel over a single cable, carrying display and touch signals with industrial robustness. One thing I appreciate is how it typically trims cabinet clutter and makes machine HMI layouts more flexible—especially when the PC needs to live in a protected cabinet while the operator panel sits on a door or arm up to factory floor distance.

From my experience, teams use this module when they want the HMI to feel local but keep the compute hardware centralised for easier service. A packaging OEM recently told me their wiring time dropped noticeably after moving to SDL3, because they replaced multiple cables with one shielded run and standardised the cabinet layout.

Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Delivery: 1 week for in‑stock items; no more than one month at the latest
• Payment: 50% advance payment, full payment before delivery
• Express shipping: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• SDL3 single‑cable link – Combines display and touch/peripheral signals in one robust cable, which typically simplifies routing and reduces failure points.
• Long‑distance HMI placement – In most cases supports up to 100 m with suitable shielded industrial cabling, keeping the PC safe in the cabinet while the panel is on the machine.
• Industrial 24 VDC power – Standard control‑cabinet supply for straightforward integration.
• USB peripheral support – Touch input and common HMI devices are supported over the SDL3 connection, so operators experience “local” responsiveness.
• EMC‑friendly design – Engineered for cabinet environments and noisy production floors; typically stable even near drives and contactors when wiring rules are followed.
• Reduced downtime – Fewer cables and connectors means faster swap and fault isolation during service.

Technical Specifications

Related or Supporting Products

• B&R Automation Panel (SDL3 variants) – Operator panels designed to connect via SDL3; ideal when the PC sits remotely in the cabinet.
• B&R Panel PC series with SDL3 option – Panel PCs that act as the SDL3 source, letting you place displays where operators need them.
• SDL3 receiver/transmitter accessories – Cables and mounting accessories optimized for long‑run, single‑cable HMI links.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet environment – Mount in a clean, dry, ventilated control cabinet that meets standard industrial enclosure practices (adequate airflow and spacing).
• Wiring – Use shielded industrial CAT6A for SDL3 runs; keep separation from high‑voltage and motor cables or route in segregated ducts. Properly terminate shields and ground per B&R recommendations.
• Power – Supply clean 24 VDC from a regulated source; include proper overcurrent protection and a common reference ground to the HMI/PC.
• Distance planning – Stay within SDL3 cable length limits; test signal integrity if routes include tight bends or high‑EMI zones.
• Safety – De‑energize the cabinet before installation. Verify polarity and connector orientation to avoid damage.
• Routine maintenance – Periodically check connectors for loosened shields, clean dust from cabinet filters, and keep firmware/compatibility notes aligned with the paired panel/PC.
