New generations of machines often require new concepts in the area of visualization. With the Automation PC 620 and corresponding Automation Panel, B&R offers an innovative system for remote visualization ap-plications. B&R has integrated the Smart Display Link in the APC620 for industrial appli-cations. This allows transfer of all communication channels (display, touch screen, matrix keys, LED and service data) at a distance up to 40 m (130 feet) using one cable. USB transfer is also supported.
Therefore, machine data can be exchanged locally right on the panel e.g. via USB memory stick.An additional panel displaying the same picture content can also be connected to the first Automation Panel.
A distance of 40 m (130 feet) is also possible for this connection, so that the second panel can be operated up to 80 m (260 feet) from the APC620.APC620 with Pentium® M and Celeron® M CPUs allows the connection of an-other line with two Automation Panels. These panels display different picture content than the panels in the first line (dual independent display). The Smart Display Link is also used for this connection. Alternatively, the same picture content can also be displayed on all four Automation Panels (display clone).
This enables the APC620 to provide maximum flexibility for industrial applications.The matrix keys are configured with a user-friendly and easy to operate software tool, the Key Editor. The function of each key can be defined individually. The keys can have assignments for four levels.
