B&R has added a full-scale PC for mobile machinery to its portfolio. The powerful PC for mobile machinery is equipped with an Intel Core i processor and offers IP69K protection for deployment in harsh environments. Its high performance makes it optimally suited for smart machines that communicate with each other, process data and send it to the cloud.
With ISOBUS – the internationally standardized communication protocol – data from different implements can be collected in one place. This provides valuable insights into operational processes and helps the farmer to make data-based decisions in order to work more productively and efficiently.
Powerful PC
The PC for mobile machinery features a 7th-generation Core i processor from Intel. Its performance can be scaled from a 2.2 GHz Celeron processor to a 2.8 GHz Core i7. It offers up to 16 GB RAM and 480 GB of flash memory, and can be expanded modularly with optional functions.
Option boards
Option boards for the APC mobile add interfaces for connecting external I/Os like CAN or POWERLINK. Expansion options can also be used to connect external displays.
Edge computing
With APROL, B&R offers a tool for implementing PC-based tasks like predictive maintenance, big data analytics for machine optimization or security gateways.
