Automation PC 620

The innovative industrial PC

The modular, fan-free industrial PC from B&R provides optimal flexibility and ergonomics.

Uninterruptible power supply

The new Automation PC 620 relies on experience collected over many years of industrial PC development and many applications. The result: the APC620 – providing optimal adaptability and ergonomics. The mechanical design is based on the results of extensive shock and vibration tests that place the highest demands on the materials. The APC620's main advantages are its modular design, the flexibility of the slots and the well thought out arrangement of interfaces and drives.

The display units have also been updated with new technology. Modular interfaces allow adjustments to be made to meet various requirements.

Reliability over many years

The B&R development engineers considered the importance of long-term availability when choosing which components to use. After all, the product life span of a B&R Industrial PC series is 10 years and longer. Furthermore, the use of B&R industrial PCs in tough production environments places special demands on reliability and longevity.

The elimination of cable connections for PC components, stable fitting of circuit boards and the optional use of mass memory without rotating parts (CompactFlash) together with a very robust mechanical construction accounts for a high level of protection against breakdowns.

Long-term availability

All processors and chipsets used by B&R come from the Intel® Embedded Division, which guarantees longterm availability.

Highest level of performance

For applications with the highest processor performance requirements, the APC620 is available with Intel® Pentium® M and Celeron® M processors. These processors, developed specially for mobile computing, offer many advantages for industrial applications as well. They combine high computing capacity with low power consumption. The clock rates range from 600 MHz to 1.8 GHz. The Intel® 855GME chipset contains two integrated graphic engines that provide optimal use of memory for the system and graphics.

Intel® Pentium® M

With the new Pentium® M processors, Intel® redefines the standard previously set for the individual processor clock rates. Pentium® M processors are running at lower frequencies than Pentium® 4 processors, but provide the same performance. The Intel® Pentium® M is the first processor that Intel® developed specially for Notebook use. Up to now, the standard practice was to derive notebook processors from desktop processors. Manufactured in the latest technology, the Pentium® M features shorter pipelines, which are partially responsible for the high performance at low clock rates. The up to 2 MB on-die L2 cache of the Pentium® M processor is large enough to meet tough automation demands. The Pentium® M processors are known by the name "Centrino".
