B&R: Ultra-compact panel PC

Available with single-, dual-, or quad-core processors, the computing power of B&R’s Panel PC 2100 – which uses the latest Intel Atom technology – is fully scalable, and can be used as a single, integrated control for standard machine control, HMI, CNC, and robotics.

The graphics engine used in Intel Atom processors is derived from Coreitechnology, provides powerful processing all the way up to full HD, and delivers enhanced graphic capabilities in SCADA and other HMI applications.

Equipped with a PC module, which has the same dimensions as a Smart Display Link or DVI receiver, any second generation Automation Panel can be turned into a full-fledged Panel PC - including completely closed panels mounted on a support arm.

No fans or other rotating components means that no maintenance is required. Other standard features include two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces as well as one USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 interface. Fieldbus technology such as POWERLINK or CAN can be individually configured through the use of interface modules, and compact MLC-based CFast cards up to 60 GB and more are available to meet every memory need.

The graphics engine used in Intel Atom processors is derived from Core i technology and provides powerful processing all the way up to Full HD. This is also the first time that support for DirectX 11 is provided in this segment, opening up even more possibilities for enhanced graphic capabilities in SCADA and other HMI systems.
