Product Description
The B&R APC2100 (5V5B80000000-004) is a compact, high-performance industrial Box PC designed for cabinet-mounted control and visualization tasks. It is part of the Automation PC 2100 series, which utilizes Intel Atom processor technology to provide significant computing power with extremely low power consumption. This fanless design ensures maximum reliability by eliminating moving parts, making it ideal for continuous operation in harsh environments. The APC2100 is fully integrated into the B&R Automation Studio ecosystem, allowing it to function as a powerful PLC, a high-end HMI station, or a communication gateway in complex industrial networks.
Application Fields
This control system is widely applied in high-precision machine building, renewable energy (wind and solar plant management), and automated logistics systems. It is frequently used as a master controller for multi-axis motion control applications or as a visualization node in high-end human-machine interfaces. Its ability to operate in an extended temperature range makes it a standard choice for outdoor control cabinets and decentralized automation architectures.
Product Specifications

- Dimensions: 155 mm x 45 mm x 105 mm
- Origin: Austria
Operational Precautions
- Storage Installation: Use only industrial-grade CFast cards to ensure data integrity and prevent system crashes caused by high-vibration environments.
- Thermal Management: While the unit is fanless, ensure it is mounted vertically with at least 50mm of clearance above and below the cooling fins to allow for natural convection.
- Power Supply: Use a regulated 24V DC power source. Unstable voltage or high-frequency ripples from low-quality power supplies can lead to erratic behavior or internal hardware failure.
- USB Connectivity: When using the USB 3.0 port for external peripherals, ensure the cables are high-quality shielded versions to prevent EMI from affecting the unit’s internal communication bus.
