Product Specification Document: 5SWFON.0001-00

5SWFON.0001-00 is an authorized font license accessory developed by B&R Automation (ABB Group), deployed to support industrial keyboard display rendering on Automation PC 910 series industrial control hardware. It is often matched with B&R industrial operating keyboards for HMI text display, resolving Unicode font rendering compatibility issues in factory automation environments. The part number has an equivalent alias 5SWFON000100 for cross-system order and inventory identification.

Brand: B&R Automation, affiliated to ABB industrial automation system ecosystemModel Code: 5SWFON.0001-00Equivalent Part Number: 5SWFON000100Product Category: Licensed industrial font software module, supporting industrial keyboard HMICommercial Status: Mass-produced, officially released stable commercial componentCore Licensed Fonts: Andale font and Thorndale Unicode font setsTarget Host Hardware: B&R Automation PC 910 series industrial controllers, paired with B&R industrial input keyboardsStandard Unit Pricing: Listed base price of 30 US dollars per single license authorization

This license module serves as a mandatory matching authorization for B&R industrial control keyboards. Industrial keyboards connected to Automation PC 910 rely on this license to activate full Unicode character output, ensuring consistent display of multilingual text, operational prompts, parameter labels and alarm messages on keyboard-linked HMI interfaces.It eliminates garbled text, missing glyphs and layout distortion that occur when unlicensed systems run Andale and Thorndale font libraries. The license is bound to the host industrial PC’s hardware serial number, delivering permanent activation without periodic renewal. It is designed exclusively for factory floor automation, process control, packaging machinery, robotic production lines and other heavy-duty industrial scenarios where rugged input keyboards are standard operating devices.

License Activation Mode: Hardware serial number binding, one-time permanent authorizationFont Encoding Support: Complete Unicode standard character set coverage, compatible with Latin, Cyrillic, Asian and special industrial symbol charactersSystem Compatibility: Optimized for B&R proprietary industrial real-time operating systems running on Automation PC 910, fully synchronized with industrial keyboard input signal protocolsDeployment Form: Digital authorization file delivered via official B&R technical channels, no physical hardware media requiredConcurrent Device Limit: Single license valid for one Automation PC host and its matched industrial keyboard setRendering Stability: Zero latency text refresh synchronized with keyboard keystroke input signals, no frame drop or display lag during high-frequency typing operationCertification Compliance: Meets B&R internal industrial component quality standards, aligned with ABB global automation accessory specification protocols

Primary Matched Hardware: B&R Automation PC 910 series industrial controller unitsPeripheral Input Device: B&R standard industrial metal membrane keyboards, waterproof dustproof industrial operation keyboards for cabinet installationSupporting Documents: Official B&R Automation PC 910 operation and maintenance manual (English US version, updated December 9, 2020), keyboard wiring and integration technical guidesAuxiliary Deployment Tools: B&R official license activation software suite for uploading authorization files to host PC systems

Primary Application Equipment: Assembly line control cabinets, injection molding machine control stations, logistics conveyor operation panels, CNC auxiliary control terminals, packaging equipment HMI stationsTarget Industrial Sectors: Automotive manufacturing, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical production, metal machining, energy distribution automation, textile machinery controlEnvironmental Adaptability: Matches industrial keyboards rated for wide temperature workshop environments, supports 0°C to 55°C ambient operating temperature of standard cabinet-mounted industrial input devicesUsage Restriction: Not applicable for consumer office keyboards, limited solely to B&R ABB industrial control hardware ecosystem integration

The authorization file must be uploaded to the Automation PC host before powering on the connected industrial keyboard to avoid initial display failure. License transfer between different host PCs requires formal B&R re-authorization procedures. Regular system firmware upgrades of the industrial PC do not invalidate the bound font license, and keyboard driver updates remain fully compatible with the 5SWFON.0001-00 authorization module. Cleaning, maintenance or physical replacement of the industrial keyboard does not affect the validity period or functional performance of this font license component.
