The Intel 945GM chipset contains the Graphics Media Accelerator GMA950, which supports a number of 2D and 3D graphics functions. The two DDR2 RAMs are designed with Dual Channel technology and are connected to the CPU via a high-speed 667 MHz front-side bus. The maximum memory size is 3 gigabytes. Thanks to PCI and PCI Express slots, the APC810 is well-equipped for all current and future demands.

The APC810 is a sophisticated upgrade to the proven APC620 product series. Based on the latest Intel® CoreTM2 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 further developed and given detailed additions and updates to offer innovative solutions for even greater customer satisfaction and easier maintenance. As with all PC series, B&R development engineers took long-term availability of the used components into consideration. After all, the product lifespan of a B&R industrial PC generation is ten years or more.

The different APC810 size with one, two and five PCI/PCI Express slots provide the optimum design for every installation situation - a perfect fit and without wasting valuable space in the switching cabinet.

 

All types have SRAM onboard. In this way, the application can save data using the nonvolatile SRAM memory. Due to the power supply buffering integrated in the APC810, Automation Runtime applications support backing up data in the SRAM module when a power failure occurs. This module uses the buffer battery from the PC system.

The APC810 saves space in the switching cabinet. Drive inserts (DVD, HDD) and two CompactFlash slots are protected behind a cover on the front of the device. The modular plug-in technology makes it easy for the user to switch drives. All connections and interfaces are located on the top side of the housing. The installation depth is not increased by protruding connectors.

The APC810 can be operated in variations without using fans. All components that require cooling are arranged on the board so that the heat is distributed directly to the heat sink. The advantages are obvious: When using CompactFlash cards, there are no rotating parts. This makes the APC810 extremely robust against mechanical loads. This also eliminates maintenance work.
