Perfection in automation
Industrial PC manufacturer B&R’s new APC620 relies on experience collected from many years of product development and from various applications. The goal was to design the most innovative industrial PC system that guarantees the safety of investment for mechanical and construction engineers. The mechanical design is based on the results of rigorous and extensive shock and vibration tests. The elimination of cable connections for PC components, stable fitting of circuit boards and the optional use of mass memory without moving parts (CompactFlash) accounts for a high level of protection against breakdowns.
Power Panel 300 devices can be delivered with the Windows XP embedded or Windows CE operating systems. They cover the entire range of PC systems, from simple thin clients and web terminals to full SCADA systems. Power Panel 400 devices handle the complete system. This provides integrated control functionality and drive technology combined with modular interfaces for connecting assorting peripheral devices. Models ranging from 5.7" QVGA to 15" XGA meet all requirements for series machine manufacturing.
The B&R development engineers considered the importance of long-term availability when choosing which components to use. The essential element used in both applications is our D-Sub SMT connectors. HARTING D-Sub SMT has been the ideal solution to help B&R move from a conventional mixed assembly process to a fully automated lead free reflow process. The benefits for the customer are significant cost improvement and flexibility. HARTING’s D-Sub SMT is a rugged and compact connector suitable for any SMT reflow process. It is available in both angled standard and low profile versions. A straight-entry version will be available soon.
