3.1 Information about this user's manual

This user's manual contains all the necessary information for a functioning Panel PC 3100 panel mount device.
Information:
All specifications in dimension diagrams and associated tables are in millimeters [mm].

3.2 Scalable Panel PCs

Whereas the Automation PC 3100 is designed to control remote panels, the Panel PC 3100 combines a PC and
display into a single system. The PC unit can be combined with any panel-mount Automation Panel with a diagonal
of 10.1" or larger.

3.3 Versatility through modularity

Panel PC 3100 devices offer a variety of modular interface options. Up to three slots can accommodate cards
for serial interfaces, Ethernet, CAN and POWERLINK. The slots can also be used for a UPS solution or audio
interfaces.
A PCIe/SATA interface provides an SDL4 graphics option in addition to the onboard SDL/DVI connector or a second
POWERLINK managing node for data acquisition from two separate networks.
In addition to the industry standard slots for two data storage media in CFast format with up to 256 GB per data
storage medium, it is also possible to use high-performance M.2 mass storage devices on the PPC3100. For even
more performance or higher protection against failure, the CFast cards can also be operated as a RAID volume.

3.4 Broad performance spectrum

The 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 Panel PC 3100 has no rotating parts at all. This makes maintenance tasks like
replacing air filters a thing of the past. The scalable memory options range from 4 to 32 GB. This allows this PC
generation to also handle extremely demanding applications.
