2.1 Introduction

2.1.1 Information about this user's manual

This user's manual contains all the necessary information for a functioning Automation PC 3100 built-in device.

2.1.2 Optimized mid-range performance

The Automation PC 3100 family of products combines the advantages of a compact system with very powerful
Core i-series processors from the latest generation. The Automation PC 3100 needs little space in the control
cabinet for this and simultaneously provides innovative modularity.

2.1.3 Maximum flexibility through modularity

The Automation PC 3100 includes a wide range of modular interface options. Two slots are available to operate
various interface cards for serial interfaces, Ethernet, CAN and POWERLINK; a UPS option and audio are also
available. Two CFast data storage media with capacity up to 256 GB provide substantial disk space in a compact
format.

2.1.4 Broad performance spectrum

Processors are based on Intel's Core-i technology. They can be scaled over a very wide range, from Celeron to
Core i7. This allows the processing power to be adapted exactly to the respective application. All variants are
fanless, which means that the Automation PC 3100 has no rotating parts at all. Maintenance tasks such as replacing
air filters are therefore not necessary. The amount of memory is also scalable from 4 to 32 GB. This allows this
PC generation to also handle extremely demanding applications.
