    SN 2023/21 - Announcement APC4100 3/7
    The APC4100 uses Intels 11th gen Celeron, Core i and Xeon processors which enable a very attractive price
    / performance ratio to customers.
    Manifold variants and a high grade of modularity, based on the concept of the APC910, offer the possibility
    to create the best fitting solution for almost every application.
    In the course of the brand refresh and in order to ensure a consistent look in the B&R Automation PC
    product portfolio, the design was adapted to the current company standard.
    The APC4100 now offers a modern look following in the style of the B&R industrial PC portfolio and the
    current clean design trend in the automation industry.
    Major Highlights of the APC4100:
    • Intel 11th gen Core i processors
    • PCIexpress x16, gen 4
    • Ultra fast CFexpress mass storage devices with PCIe connection
    • Up to 64GB DRAM (incl. selected ECC options, depending on CPU)
    • Up to 2,5GBit Ethernet (on selected Ethernet ports)
    • Automatic BIOS update (see user manual)
    • Passive cooling for Celeron, Core i3 and Xeon W-11155MRE
    • Additional functions/features for individual BIOS configuration in IQ
    Due to the modern CPU generation and mass storage option, the APC4100 offers a much higher
    performance in comparison to equal APC910 devices.
    With look to the current release plan, we will offer AS/AR 6.0 support by
    end of 2023.
    Panel connectivity:
    We started SDL with the introduction of the APC620 more than 20 years ago and we were able to keep that
    interface for our products for a very long time.
    Copyright © B&R - Automatic generated PDF, Subject to change without notice 2023-April-14
    SN 2023/21 - Announcement APC4100 4/7
    Due to the long term availability of the components used for SDL, we need to change the standard panel
    onboard interface to DisplayPort. When we compare competitor products we see also there a strong trend in
    this direction.
    Additional to DisplayPort we will offer also a modular SDL4 transmitter which is then fully compatible to the
    existing SDL4 receiver products (same functionality as in APC910).
    • SDL4 supports all existing Automation Panels AP923/933, AP1000, AP5000 with a SDL4 receiver,
    with a maximum distance of 100 m. The SDL4 transmitter for APC4100 will be available in December
    2023.
    • DisplayPort supports all Automation Panels with projected capacitive touch screen (AP933, AP1130,
    AP5130), the touch functionality needs a separate USB cable connection, maximum distance 5 m.
    We will offer a DisplayPort receiver for the existing Automation Panels (AP933, AP1130, AP5130).
    Due to the necessary redesigns during the component shortage we unfortunately have to postpone
    the availability of the DisplayPort receiver until April 2024. As a temporary workaround in the first
    months Automation Panels can be connected via a DisplayPort to DVI converter cable plus USB
    cable using the SDL/DVI receiver 5DLSDL.1001-00 for Automation Panels.
    Further information:
    • As an information update around the APC4100 there is a wE-talk planned for 9th of May, kindly
    reserve the date.
    • The IQ configurator will be available starting May 2023 including below pricing.
    • A detailed benchmarking documentation for selected CPUs (Celeron, Core i3 and Xeon w11865MRE) is expected in the second half of 2023.
    Release plan
    The APC4100 will be released to the market in waves, which will be titled as „Delivery Packages“.
    Pricing information and the possibility for offering out of the IQ_configurator will be possible for ALL material
    expected with May.2023.

    Conversion of ACOPOS multi
    ➢ The conversion needs to be coordinated between the responsible sales person and the customer. An agreement of the customer is
    needed. All customers ordering such devices must be informed regarding the discontinuation and the possible software/hardware
    incompatibilities.
    ➢ Sales need to be sure to have the same price maintained for the customer for the replacement part number in the price management
    tool (or if the customer needs a new offer you can use IQ) as for the discontinued product.
    ➢ The agreement of the customer is either a changed purchase order (best case) or an e-mail including the message that they are ok
    with the conversion of their open sales orders to the replacement material code XY.
    ➢ The new PO needs to be attached to the corresponding SAP-order number by order processing (or the agreement of the customer can
    be stored in the customer master data in SAP – XD02).
    ➢ Order processing updates the order with the new part number and rejects the obsolete part with rejection reason ZK (attention in
    case of intercompany-orders – order update to be done in SAP-transaction ME22N not in VA02).

    General information
    Ensuring long-term availability of products and systems is a fundamental strategy at B&R. Therefore, due to
    component shortages and discontinuations, we will discontinue the ACOPOSmulti 165/88/66Amps inverters
    and power supplies. We will offer in replacement and compatible solutions under certain conditions.
    Life cycle and discontinuation
    Delivery of our actual power semiconductors stages is very challenging. Therefore, we performed a redesign
    for supporting latest IGBTs generation.

    Software:
    ACP10/ARNC0 : 100% backward compatible
    Mapp Motion: new hw-upgrades for new part numbers are supported starting from
    V5.17.
    For replacing devices: 100% backward compatible when using old hw-upgrades
    (old part numbers or generic upgrades are compatible)
    Hardware:
    Not fully compatible: overload characteristics are different therefore customer must
    test and qualify this new device variant.
    The overload characteristic must be checked if more than the nominal power/
    current of the drive is requested at standstill or at very low motor speed. In other
    cases, almost all configurations can be transitioned without any issue.
    For any questions & help contact the L2 support.
