Product Description:
B & R Automation manufactures the APC2100, a compact industrial PC that belongs to the APC Industrial Automation PC Units series. Installed in a control panel, this unit provides deterministic computing power for machine sequencing, motion coordination, and plant data logging. Its compact format suits cabinet-mounted automation systems that need local processing close to the machine rather than a separate control-room computer.
This unit operates on a supply of 24 VDC ±25% (SELV) and draws up to a maximum of 3 A under typical load, allowing it to share 24-volt power buses with sensors and drives. Its enclosure carries an IP20 rating, giving finger protection while requiring installation inside a closed cabinet. The chassis measures 40 × 115 × 198 mm, so it fits behind shallow door panels. Boot is handled by a UEFI BIOS, which supports secure startup and modern operating systems. One CFast slot connected through a SATA II 3.0 Gbit/s interface accepts solid-state media for the operating system and recipe files. An Intel HD Graphics controller with DirectX 11 capability drives local HMI displays. Two Ethernet jacks auto-negotiate 10/100/1000 Mbit/s links, enabling high-speed PLC networks or standard office connectivity.
In operation, heat is removed through passive cooling through the housing, eliminating fans and reducing maintenance points. The device weighs only 1170 g, so it can mount on DIN rails without additional support brackets. Processing tasks run in DDR3 SDRAM, giving the CPU sufficient bandwidth for deterministic control loops and on-device visualization. For removable media or service tools, the front panel presents 1× USB 3.0, 1× USB 2.0. Two onboard Ethernet interfaces and the CFast slot support local control, data storage, and display functions in a compact cabinet installation.
