5APC2100.BY01
B & R Automation presents the 5APC2100.BY01, an advanced controller within the 5APC Industrial PC Units series designed for modern industrial automation. The system is powered by an Intel Atom E3815 Processor clocked at 1.46GHz and equipped with a 512kB Cache to ensure rapid data access. Memory performance is delivered through 1GB of DDR3 SDRAM, providing sufficient capacity for multitasking and real-time control. Graphics processing is handled by the integrated Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail) with full support for DirectX 11 to facilitate rich HMI and visualization applications. The compact form factor enables seamless mounting in control cabinets, while Fanless Operation guarantees silent and maintenance-free service even under continuous load. Early integration of USB Ports including 1x USB 3.0 and 1x USB 2.0 secures versatile peripheral connectivity from the outset.
The 5APC2100.BY01 delivers consistent performance in demanding use cases by leveraging its energy-efficient Power profile of just 5W, reducing operational costs and thermal stress. Dual 2x Gigabit Ethernet Ethernet Ports support high-bandwidth communication for deterministic fieldbus integration, while native support for Interface Options such as POWERLINK and CAN streamlines seamless network interoperability. A single Expansion Slot for a CFast slot enables flexible storage expansion or specialized I/O modules. The device’s robust architecture eliminates moving parts, mitigating the risk of mechanical failure and extending service intervals. Precision timing and data throughput are further enhanced by the high-speed USB Ports and low-latency Ethernet interfaces.
Designed for mission-critical environments, the controller’s Fanless Operation and rugged Form Factor ensure dependable operation in dusty or vibration-prone applications. The integration of standard fieldbus protocols and dual Ethernet channels simplifies system topology and accelerates deployment in manufacturing, process control, and material handling systems. Enhanced thermal management within the chassis accommodates continuous peak processing loads without throttling, maintaining consistent cycle times and throughput. Compatibility with Windows Embedded 8.1, Windows 7, and Linux offers development flexibility and long-term software support. The 5APC2100.BY01 excels in applications ranging from panel-based machine control to distributed automation architectures, delivering reliability and scalability across diverse industrial sectors.
