ACOPOStrak

Flexible transport system for maximum efficiency ACOPOStrak is a modular transport system based on a long-stator linear motor that enables flexible and precise movement of individual shuttles within production lines. Shuttles can move independently, be grouped or synchronized – with built-in collision avoidance and seamless process integration across multiple stations. High-speed diverters allow product flows to merge and split without any loss of speed. The fully enclosed design (IP69K) makes it suitable for even the most demanding environments. With intuitive visual programming and comprehensive simulation, the entire system layout can be developed and tested in advance on a PC – eliminating the need for hardware testing and significantly speeding up commissioning. ACOPOStrak is compatible with the entire motion and mechatronics portfolio from B&R and is especially well suited for applications involving a wide variety of products.

Power Panel C650

The Power Panel C650 from B&R Industrial Automation is a high-performance Human-Machine-Interface (HMI), optimized for applications where cost and resource management are high priorities. It delivers advanced functionality and responsiveness systems that may not require or support high end hardware. This makes it ideal for a wide range of industrial use cases that require simplicity, usability and performance. Eggelsberg/Nuremberg - As well as offering faster processing and smoother graphics, the Power Panel C650 provides multiple communication options in every panel size and supports modern interfaces such as OPC UA FX, as well as Powerlink, X2X and CAN. In this way, the Power Panel C650 closes the gap between legacy panels and modern performance needs. Like all products in the Power Panel range, the C650 incorporates Automation Runtime in a single device. Automation Runtime is a powerful software kernel that runs machine-centric applications on B&R hardware. Functioning both as a real-time operating system and an industrial controller offers a variety of benefits, especially for small-to medium-scale automation projects. It is more cost-effective and efficient compared to using separate components and thus can lead to lower hardware costs and reduced installation costs. Our new Power Panel C650 combines high-performance control and HMI in one sleek device, delivering faster processing, scalable design, and a premium user experience for cost-efficient industrial automation,” said Serdar Aysu, Product Manager Industrial PCs and Panels at B&R Industrial Automation.
