APC680 - New High-End Industrial PC



High processing power, modular construction, free slots for PCI and ISA cards, Windows® XP with real-time expansion, Soft PLC and Soft CNC make the APC680 the central element when it comes to open PC-based automation.

Developed specifically for demanding controller and visualization tasks, the APC680 highlights the upper end of B&R's industrial PC spectrum. Thanks to its modular construction, the APC680 can be adapted to the requirements of the application. The main feature of the PC is the Slot CPU based on the Intel® 815E chipset for processors from Celeron 566 up to Pentium® III 1.26 GHz. The Slot CPU is a single slot module which can be operated in one of the two PICMG slots of a passive backplane.

Flat screen displays can be connected using a standardized DVI interface or an interface for operating display units at a distance greater than five meters (16.4'). If necessary, AC97 sound and an LPT1 port are also available. Floppy disk, hard disk, CD, and DVD drives are offered as well as Compact Flash. Every APC680 is individually assembled according to the needs of the customer. Fastened plug connectors and durable mechanics ensure problem-free use in rough industrial environments. The processor and chipset from Intel's Embedded Division guarantee long product life.

The following hardware components are featured on the APC680: Intel® Celeron or Intel Pentium® III Tualatin up to 1.26 GHz; two 100 Mbps Ethernet; 4 USB slots; DVI-I for flat displays; 4 PCI, 1 ISA and 2 PICMG slots as well as 4 serial interfaces.
