The B&R CS IP500 Motherboard Modules series is a motherboard and system-unit platform for the IPC 5000 industrial PC family, built for modular industrial computing and control tasks.
The platform supports Intel Celeron and Pentium III processor options, uses the Intel 82440BX chipset, and provides integrated graphics hardware for local display operation. It also includes dual DIMM memory support and onboard connections for monitor or flat-panel display, keyboard, mouse, USB, floppy interface, and 10/100 Ethernet communication. Within the IPC 5000 architecture, the motherboard works with matching bus units, processor modules, and storage accessories, so it functions as the core computing element of a configurable industrial PC system. Overall, the series is best described as a modular B&R industrial PC motherboard platform designed for controller and visualization applications that need standard PC interfaces and expandable system-unit hardware.
