Controller & PC in one
17 December 2014
The new Automation PC 2100 from B&R claims to unite the PC world with hard real-time applications. If needed, Automation Runtime and Windows can run at the same time thanks to powerful Intel Atom multi-core processing technology, allowing the Automation PC 2100 to be used simultaneously as a high-performance industrial controller as well as a PC for things like sophisticated HMI applications.
Featuring ultracompact housing, the Automation PC 2100 is a full-fledged PC system available with single-, dual- or quad-core processors, the computing power of the Automation PC 2100 is fully scalable. At the upper range of performance, it is said to exceed the performance of many Core i-series processors.
The absence of fans or other rotating components means 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.
