B&R (Bernecker + Rainer) is a global leader in industrial automation, offering advanced solutions for machine and factory automation. B&R products are widely used in industries like manufacturing, robotics, energy, and packaging. They are known for integrating all aspects of automation within a single platform (APROL or Automation Studio), making it easier for engineers to design complex automation systems. They also focus on high-performance and real-time communication technologies, such as POWERLINK.
B&R products are applicable in manufacturing, robotics, energy & utilities, packaging, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals.
The available hardware and software for automation:
Key features include:
B&R Industrial PCs (IPCs) are high-performance computing systems built for industrial environments. They combine powerful processing capabilities with robust construction, making them ideal for demanding applications in automation, machine control, and data processing.
Key features:
They are widely used in manufacturing, robotics, and more.
B&R SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acuqisition) is a software platform that enables real-time monitoring and control of industrial processes. It collects data from various devices, visualizes the information, and provides advanced analytics to help operators make informed decisions. The SCADA system operates at a supervisory level, overseeing multiple control systems.
B&R control systems consist of hardware components like programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and motion controllers, designed to execute real-time control over machinery and processes. They operate on the machine level, ensuring precise and efficient operation.
Together, SCADA oversees and manages data while control systems handle direct machine operation.
B&R Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) are advanced, intuitive platforms that allow operators to interact with machines and automation systems. These interfaces are designed to provide real-time visualization of data, machine statuses, and control options in a user-friendly format.
Key features:
The power supplies have either a single-phase or three-phase design. They provide a wide input voltage range as well as a stable output voltage.
B&R offers buffer modules to bridge short-term power failures or to be prepared for longer outages.
