Innovative PC technology Perfection in Automation www.br-automation.com
The most innovative industrial PC generation B&R has been developing and producing PCs for industrial use for more than ten years now. Unlike the fast-paced consumer market, what counts in this segment is continuity and compatibility over many years and the ability to seamlessly trace all product versions. The hundreds of thousands of B&R PC systems installed worldwide over the years prove that B&R meets these requirements. The perfect industrial PC The APC810 is the sophisticated upgrade to the proven APC620 product series. Based on the latest Intel Core 2 Duo technology, the APC810 offers the highest level of performance for all applications that require maximum computing power. The highly successful and award-winning APC620 was also further developed and innovative Intel Atom designs were added. For all applications The different APC620 and APC810 sizes optimum design for every type of in- valuable space in the switching cabinet. Reliability over many years The B&R development engineers considered the importance of maximum long-term availability when choosing which components to use. After all, the product lifespan of a B&R industrial PC series is ten years or more. Furthermore, the use of B&R industrial PCs in tough production environments places special demands on reliability and longevity. The elimination of internal cable con- ting circuit boards and the optional use of mass memory without rotating parts (CompactFlash) together with a very robust mechanical construction accounts for protection against breakdowns. Intel Atom The Intel Atom processors are based on a new microarchitecture that is optimized for small size and minimum power consumption while providing good performance. The N270 processor (code name Diamondville) used in the APC620 and PPC700 has a TDP value (Thermal Design Power - the maximum power consumption of a processor) of only 2.5 W at a clock frequency of 1.6 GHz, which is less than a Celeron M running at 600 MHz. In spite of this fact, its than a Pentium M 1.1 GHz. The N270 is manufactured using advanced 45 nm technology. The target markets are Mobile Internet Devices, Ultra Mobile PCs and embedded applications in industrial environments.

In this way, the computing power can be perfectly adapted to the respective application and a cost-efficient system platform can be configured. The highest performance demands are fulfilled with Core 2 Duo processors, and Pentium M, Celeron M and Atom processors round off the product range. All processors offered were developed by Intel especially for mobile computing. They provide many advantages for industrial use because they combine a high level of computing power with low power consumption. User-friendly system access APC620, APC810 and Panel PC can be read and edited: Key matrix Display brightness LEDs Temperature values from the PC and panel Service data (serial number, etc.) The C programming languages (with import libraries for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and Microsoft embedded Visual C++ 4.0) and Visual Basic are supported. To provide fast access, the Control Center shows a clearly designed window on the screen with all information. Intel Core 2 Duo Intel Core 2 Duo processors are optimized for the highest level of performance with minimal power consumption. The dual core processors manufactured in the 65 nm process are equipped with up to 4 MB L2 cache, which is dynamically assigned to the two cores as needed. This enables a single process to utilize the entire cache. The power-saving functions were also further developed. Processor features that are not needed at a given time are individually activated and deactivated, which keeps the power dissipation at a very low level despite the highest level of performance.

Compact construction The APC620 and APC810 save space in the switching cabinet. Drive inserts (HDD, DVD, etc.) and up to two CompactFlash slots are hidden behind a cover on the front of the device. B&R has been using this extremely reliable storage media for many years. All connections and interfaces are located on the top side of the housing. The installation depth is not increased by protruding connectors. Fan-free The APC620 and APC810 can be operated in many variations without using fans. All components that require cooling are placed on the board so that the heat is distributed directly to the large outer heat sink. The advantages of a fan-free system are obvious: When using CompactFlash cards, there are no rotating parts. This also eliminates maintenance work such as regularly Integrated UPS The optionally integrated UPS ensures that the PC system completes all write operations even if a power failure occurs. This means that all running programs will be ended properly by the UPS software. This prevents inconsistent data. The UPS charging circuit takes up very little space in the APC620/810. The batteries can be exchanged by the user.

Many types also allow connection of additional Automation Panels by inserting an optional link module. This modularity is also available on the panel. B&R offers the following possibilities in order to meet the various requirements for Panel operation. Smart Display Link SDL (Smart Display Link) is already integrated on the APC620 and APC810. It combines the digital display and touch screen connections for the display unit in one interface. Matrix keys, service data (temperature, operating hours, etc.) and USB signals are transferred using the same cable. SDL also allows the display unit to be equipped with PC resources such as USB drives and keyboard. Dual independent display Four Automation Panels each can be connected via SDL to the integrated and optional SDL interfaces. The segment length is 40 m. This allows 4 panels to be separated by 160 m. The two lines display different content (dual independent display). Alternatively, the same display content can also be shown on all displays (display clone). Touch screen and key entries on the Automation Panel can be locked with software to prevent operating errors. fast On display units, it is often necessary to adjust the function keys for the respective application software. On Windows based systems, pressing the F1 key opens the help page, which is often not what is desired for visualization systems in runtime mode. B&R Automation Panel devices have an easy-to-operate key editor program. The functionality of each key key can have up to four functions. Multiple characters can be sent with a single key stroke.
