TP04P-22XA1R Overview
A Text Panel HMI (also called a text-display operator panel) is a compact operator interface that combines simple text/graphics display with on-board PLC functionality. In the broader automation taxonomy, TP panels belong to: operator interface (HMI) > text-display HMI > integrated HMI+PLC combo > industrial control product > automation system. Unlike full graphical HMIs, text panels present parameter lists, alarm messages and recipes through monochrome LCD lines, which lowers cost while retaining programmable control flexibility. Delta's TP series specifically targets compact automation where both visualization and control are needed without separate PLC hardware.
Key features of the TP04P-22XA1R include: 8 digital inputs / 8 digital outputs, 4 analog inputs / 2 analog outputs, 24 VDC supply, RS-232 and RS-485 communication ports, support for multiple industrial protocols (Modbus RTU/ASCII typical for the family), and a rugged ABS panel-mount enclosure rated for industrial environments. The integrated PLC functionality eliminates the need for a separate controller in compact machines, while the text-based HMI provides operators with parameter entry, status monitoring and basic recipe handling.
Typical applications include small-machine control (packaging, labeling, simple assembly), HVAC and building automation local panels, water-treatment and pump-station monitoring, conveyor and material-handling local control, and OEM skid-mounted equipment. The combo HMI+PLC architecture reduces panel space and wiring complexity compared with separate HMI and PLC solutions.
Designers should plan for proper DIN-rail / panel cutout mounting, segregation of analog signal wiring from power wiring, and verification of the supported communication protocols against the inverter/servo families being controlled. The TP04P series programming tool (TPEditor / WPLSoft for PLC function) should be confirmed against the current revision before commissioning.

Typical Applications
TP04P-22XA1R is suitable for 6 applications: Small-Machine OEM Control (Packaging / Labeling), HVAC and Building Automation Local Panels, Water Treatment and Pump Station Monitoring, Conveyor and Material-Handling Local Control, OEM Skid-Mounted Equipment (Compact Machinery), Laboratory and Test Bench Automation.
Small-Machine OEM Control (Packaging / Labeling)
The TP04P-22XA1R's integrated 8DI/8DO/4AI/2AO PLC eliminates the need for a separate controller in compact packaging and labeling machines. Its 4-line STN-LCD lets operators enter batch parameters, view alarms and select recipes without a full graphical HMI, lowering BOM cost. RS-485 Modbus connects to a Delta MS300/CP2000 inverter for conveyor speed and torque control, while the 24 VDC supply matches standard control-cabinet rails.
Recommended
HVAC and Building Automation Local Panels
The TP04P-22XA1R suits local air-handling-unit (AHU) and chiller panels where 24 VDC control and a compact text display are sufficient for technician interaction. The 4 analog inputs accept temperature/pressure transducer signals (0-10 V or 4-20 mA typical), and the 2 analog outputs drive valve actuators and variable-speed fans. The TP series' wide operating tolerance and industrial enclosure rating make it appropriate for mechanical-room installations.
Recommended
Water Treatment and Pump Station Monitoring
For pump-station and small water-treatment skids, the TP04P-22XA1R provides pump start/stop logic, level-sensor analog inputs and alarm messaging on the 4-line text panel. The 8 digital inputs handle float switches, flow switches and motor contactor status, while the 8 digital outputs drive pump contactors and alarm beacons. RS-232 supports local modem/SCADA telemetry, and the rugged panel-mount enclosure tolerates humid mechanical-room environments.
Recommended
Conveyor and Material-Handling Local Control
The TP04P-22XA1R's 8 digital inputs accept photoeye, prox and emergency-stop signals, while 8 digital outputs control conveyor starters, diverters and stack-light beacons. The text panel displays line speed, runtime hours and fault codes, allowing floor operators to clear jams without a laptop. Modbus RS-485 links to a Delta ASDA-A2 servo for indexing or to a VFD for variable-speed conveyors in a single local panel.
Recommended
OEM Skid-Mounted Equipment (Compact Machinery)
Skid OEMs benefit from the TP04P-22XA1R's combo HMI+PLC architecture because it shrinks panel cutout area and reduces wiring between separate HMI and PLC. The integrated I/O (8DI/8DO/4AI/2AO) covers most skid-level control needs; RS-485 expansion to DVP-SS2/SX2 I/O allows growth when customer requirements exceed built-in points. TPEditor and WPLSoft share the same Delta toolchain, simplifying engineering training across an OEM's product line.
Recommended
Laboratory and Test Bench Automation
Test benches use the TP04P-22XA1R to sequence DUT power, acquire analog measurements (4 AI) and drive actuators (2 AO) under operator control from a 4-line text panel. The 24 VDC supply is compatible with standard lab power rails, and RS-232 enables data logging to a host PC. Engineers can re-program both HMI screens and PLC ladder without additional proprietary hardware, accelerating iterative test development.

Key Differentiators
- Integrated HMI + PLC in a single 4-line text panel (vs TP04P-21EX1R)
- Compact panel cutout with built-in analog I/O (vs TP04P-16TP1R)
- Balanced I/O density for typical small-machine control (vs TP04P-32TP1R)
Design Notes
Use a regulated 24 VDC industrial power supply with adequate current margin for the TP04P-22XA1R's STN-LCD backlight inrush. Provide a dedicated 24 V branch for the text panel and segregate it from solenoid and inverter DC rails to reduce conducted noise on the analog inputs.
Mount the TP04P-22XA1R in a panel cutout per the Delta TP04P instruction sheet; torque the mounting clips evenly to avoid stress on the LCD. Keep analog signal wiring (4 AI / 2 AO) physically separated from power wiring and route it through dedicated cable glands to minimize coupled noise.
Terminate the RS-485 bus with a 120 ohm resistor at the end of the run and use shielded twisted-pair cable for long trunk lengths. Enable Modbus RTU with appropriate timeout and retry parameters in TPEditor to ensure robust communication with Delta inverters and remote I/O over RS-485.
Compliance Information
Detailed compliance certifications (CE/UL/RoHS) are not stated in the verified web data; refer to Delta's official TP04P series declaration of conformity for the -22XA1R variant before specifying into regulated markets.
