The B&R Automation Industrial PC systems
The B&R Industrial Automation offers a comprehensive portfolio of Industrial PC systems designed for maximum robustness, reliability, and long-term availability in various types of machinery and industrial environments.
The main categories of B&R Industrial PCs are:
- Box PCs (Automation PC): These are compact, fanless industrial computers without an integrated display, designed to be mounted inside a cabinet or attached to a monitor (Automation Panel). Examples include the Automation PC 3100 and Automation PC 910. They offer scalable performance, from Intel Atom to Core i7 processors, and are built to handle demanding automation tasks.
- Panel PCs: These devices combine the powerful industrial computer and the display Human Machine Interface (HMI) into a single, compact unit. They are available in various display sizes, resolutions and touch technologies (single-touch and multi-touch/projected capacitive). Examples include the Panel PC 3100, Panel PC 2200, and Panel PC 2100
- Automation PC mobile: These are highly rugged PCs designed specifically for mobile machinery and harsh outdoor environments, resistant to shock, vibration, salt, UV light, and oil, with an extended operating temperature range.
Technical Features of B&R Industrial PCs
- Scalable Performance: They utilize a range of modern Intel processors (Celeron, Atom, Core i-series) to allow customization of computing power based on the application’s complexity.
- Robustness: They are engineered for harsh industrial conditions, often featuring fanless designs (no rotating parts), high-quality components, and resistance to environmental factors.
- Modularity and Flexibility: Many models offer modular interfaces and slots for expansion with features like fieldbus connections (POWERLINK, CAN, etc.), UPS solutions, or additional storage (CFast cards, SSDs).
- Integrated Software Ecosystem: They are seamlessly integrated with B&R’s Automation Studio software development environment and can run standard operating systems
