Single-touch panels

For all applications that need to be compatible with existing systems, 4:3 panels with analog resistive touch screens are also available. This makes it possible to continue using HMI applications at their current resolution with the latest PC platform without any software adaptations whatsoever.

Versatile panel technology

The second generation of Automation Panels also serves as the technological basis for B&R's Panel PC devices. This modular platform strategy results in a product portfolio with extraordinary flexibility.

The core component is the panel itself, which is transformed into an Automation Panel by adding a modular SDL/DVI receiver. Alternatively, using SDL3 opens up additional possibilities for spanning longer distances and even easier cabling. Adding the PC unit turns the same panel into a full-fledged Panel PC with scalable processing performance. Using the same front-side platform reduces the amount of warehouse space required for replacement parts. Custom variants using Automation Panels and Panel PCs require only a single base unit.

Uniform system platform

Dividing the system into a panel, an SDL/SDL3 receiver and a Panel PC brings considerable benefits in the field. A damaged display can be replaced quickly, for example, without having to exchange the entire Panel PC. In this way, B&R has created a uniform internal interface that establishes a flexible system platform for all future PC architectures.

With an SDL/DVI receiver, the Automation Panel offers flexible connections for remote display units. For the many panels in the field, the Automation PC 910 is equipped with the proven SDL interface, which can also be operated as a standard DVI interface. SDL makes connecting PCs and displays as simple as hooking up as single cable.

Smart Display Link supplies the display unit not only with image data, but also with all the data it needs to operate the touch screen, LEDs, keys and remote USB interface.
