B&R: Controller and PC in one compact housing

Able to be used simultaneously as a high-performance industrial controller as well as a PC for sophisticated HMI applications, the new Automation PC 2100 from B&R can run Automation Runtime and Windows at the same time using Intel Atom multi-core processing technology.

The ultra-compact PC 2100 is available with single-, dual- or quad-core processors, allowing its computing power to be fully scalable. At the upper range of performance, it even exceeds the performance of many Core i-series processors, according to the company.

Regardless of the variant, the absence of 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 connections such as POWERLINK or CAN can be individually configured, and compact MLC-based CFast cards with 60 GB or more are available to meet every memory need.

The graphics engine used by Intel Atom processors is derived from Core i technology and provides powerful processing up to Full HD. Support for DirectX 11 is provided in this segment, opening up even more possibilities for enhanced graphic capabilities in SCADA and other HMI systems.
