Product Description The 5PC910.SX05-00 is a high-performance industrial PC belonging to the Automation PC 910 series. It is designed to serve as a robust control host for complex automation tasks, providing the computational power of a high-end workstation in a fanless, industrial-grade housing. This specific revision (SX05) features a flexible bus system that allows for extensive customization via various interface and expansion cards. The APC910 is optimized for real-time performance when paired with B&R’s Automation Studio and is capable of handling demanding SCADA, machine vision, and sophisticated motion control applications simultaneously.

Product Applications This industrial host is commonly used as the central processing unit in high-end manufacturing lines, packaging machinery, and automotive assembly stations. It is ideal for “smart factory” environments where the PC must act as both a deterministic machine controller and an edge gateway for cloud-based data analytics. Its high I/O density and processing speed also make it a preferred choice for high-speed inspection systems using multiple industrial cameras and complex image processing algorithms.

Product Specifications

• Weight: 5.20 kg (Base configuration)
• Dimensions: 15.5 cm (H) x 26.0 cm (W) x 24.5 cm (D)
• Country of Origin: Austria
• Input Voltage: 24 Vdc (Isolated)
• Housing: Robust metal, optimized for heat dissipation

Operational Precautions

• Power Quality: Ensure the 24 Vdc supply is stable and correctly fused; while the unit is isolated, transient surges can damage the sensitive QM77 chipset or the BIOS battery.
• Heat Dissipation: Although the unit is designed for fanless operation, ensure the cooling fins are not obstructed and that it is mounted in the recommended orientation (vertical) to allow for natural heat convection.
• Component Seating: When installing expansion cards or RAM, verify that they are fully seated and the locking mechanisms are engaged; industrial vibration can loosen improperly installed components over time.
• Data Integrity: Always use industrial-grade CFast or SSD media. Standard consumer-grade drives often lack the endurance (TBW) and power-loss protection required for 24/7 industrial control operations.
