B&R's CPU board withan Intel Core2 Duo P8400 processor now provides apowerful platform for Automation PC 810 and Panel PC 800 devices. Thecombination of the 2.26 GHz Core2 Duo processor and the GM45 chipset provides ahigh level of performance, even for the most demanding applications such asvision systems. Both processor cores share a 3 MByte level 2 cache, whichallows multitasking. The 1.066 MHz frontside bus is also combined with DDR3 RAMmodules.

Smaller variants of the APC810 with one or two slots,larger types with three slots and the PC with five slots make sure there is adevice type that fits to the application, regardless of how many cards areneeded to save space in the switching cabinet.

Panel PC 800 systems with 15 inch XGA and 19 inch SXGAdisplays and either one or two slots also form a foundation for any system.From the broad performance range of energy-saving Intel AtomN270processors to powerful Core2 Duo processors, all the user has to do is selectthe combination of system unit and CPU. For machine and plant manufacturers,the result is a scalable PC architecture. Since the same device types can beused from small machines up to complex systems, the modular structure allowsthe final product to be individually tailored to the requirements at handwithout the need for extra engineering. Because accessories such as hard drivesare the same across the board, logistics can also be held down to a minimum.
