Product Description

The APCBB32 backplane from B&R Automation's APC series packs advanced processing power into a compact form factor well-suited to control and field applications. At its core, an energy-efficient ARM Cortex processor delivers the speed needed for real-time control and analytics. Supporting up to 16GB of DDR4 memory across two slots, the APCBB32 has plenty of system resources for sophisticated tasks.

Data storage capabilities are enabled through a high-speed SATA

interface containing four ports. This facilitates fast read/write access to field data collected over time. Combined with the ARM processor and DDR4 memory technologies, storage performance keeps pace with demanding computing workloads. A single 12V DC power supply provides simple, reliable operation from a wide -20 degrees C to 70 degrees C temperature range. Compact measurement and control stations benefit greatly from the APCBB32's processing muscle in a small footprint. Extended ambient operating temperatures allow placement close to machines and harsh environments without requiring additional cooling. Advanced storage technology preserves data integrity even in challenging conditions, logging valuable analytics. Control algorithms run seamlessly using the real-time ARM processor.

Designed for integration into full automation solutions, the APCBB32 serves as the computing engine. Its small size installs directly onto cabinet DIN rails or wall panels alongside I/O modules. This takes full advantage of centralized and decentralized system architectures. Users enjoy low power consumption from the ARM processor along with rapid transfer of high-volume field data. Ruggedized to withstand demanding environments, the APCBB32 helps simplify complex control methodologies. Potent processing and high-speed internal interfaces in a miniature form factor maximize usable space. As a long-term asset, it maintains valuation due to headroom for application expansion or migration to newer operating technologies over its lifetime.
