B&R Automation Panel PC 900 multi-touch
August 28, 2019
Multi-touch panels open up new dimensions for innovative HMI design. There are numerous gestures that might be used in an application: zooming in and out and rotating objects with two fingers, scrolling through lists and switching to the next screen with a quick swipe. The main advantage of multi-touch technology is how it makes operation more intuitive. At the same time, two-hand gestures for critical or potentially dangerous operations provide an effective way of preventing unintentional operator errors. Multi-touch displays are supported by the operating systems Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB, Windows 7 Professional/Ultimate and Windows Embedded Standard 7 Premium.
Scalable performance
The full range of Panel PC 900 processors – from the single-core Celeron up to the quad-core Core i7 – provide a versatile selection of CPU performance levels to make it the best platform for any application. Even in fanless operation, the Panel PC 900 outperforms the high-end version of its predecessor.
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 by the Panel PC 900 system into a full-featured Panel PC with scalable processing power. Using the same front-side platform for the Panel PC and Automation Panel reduces the amount of warehouse space required for replacement parts. Custom variants using Automation Panels and Panel PCs require only a single base unit.
