2 General safety guidelines
2.1 Intended use
Programmable logic controllers, operating and monitoring devices (e.g. industrial PCs, Power Panels, Mobile Pan-
els) as well as uninterruptible power supplies from B&R have been designed, developed and manufactured for
normal use in industry. They have not been designed, developed and manufactured for use that involves fatal
risks or hazards that could result in death, injury, serious physical harm or other loss without the assurance of
exceptionally stringent safety precautions. In particular, this includes the use of these systems to monitor nuclear
reactions in nuclear power plants, flight control systems, air traffic control, the control of mass transport vehicles,
medical life support systems and the control of weapon systems.
2.2 Protection against electrostatic discharge
Electrical assemblies that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) must be handled accordingly.
2.2.1 Packaging
•Electrical assemblies with housing:
Do not require special ESD packaging but must be handled properly (see "Electrical assemblies with hous-
ing").
•Electrical assemblies without housing:
Are protected by ESD-suitable packaging.
2.2.2 Regulations for proper ESD handling
Electrical assemblies with housing
•Do not touch the connector contacts of connected cables.
•Do not touch the contact tips on circuit boards.
Electrical assemblies without housing
The following applies in addition to "Electrical assemblies with housing":
•All persons handling electrical assemblies and devices in which electrical assemblies are installed must
be grounded.
•Assemblies are only permitted to be touched on the narrow sides or front plate.
•Always place assemblies on suitable surfaces (ESD packaging, conductive foam, etc.). Metallic surfaces
are not suitable surfaces!
•Assemblies must not be subjected to electrostatic discharges (e.g. due to charged plastics).
•A minimum distance of 10 cm from monitors or television sets must be maintained.
•Measuring instruments and devices must be grounded.
•Test probes of floating potential measuring instruments must be discharged briefly on suitable grounded
surfaces before measurement.
Individual components
•ESD protective measures for individual components are implemented throughout B&R (conductive floors,
shoes, wrist straps, etc.).
•The increased ESD protective measures for individual components are not required for handling B&R
products at customer locations.
2.3 Regulations and measures
Electronic devices are generally not failsafe. If the programmable logic controller, operating or control device or
uninterruptible power supply fails, the user is responsible for ensuring that connected devices (such as motors)
are brought to a safe state.

General safety guidelines
Automation PC 3100 User's manual V 2.10 11
When using programmable logic controllers as well as when using operating and monitoring devices as control
systems in conjunction with a Soft PLC (e.g. B&R Automation Runtime or similar product) or Slot PLC (e.g. B&R
LS251 or similar product), the safety measures that apply to industrial controllers (protection by protective equip-
ment such as emergency stops) must be observed in accordance with applicable national and international regu-
lations. This also applies to all other connected devices, such as drives.
All work such as installation, commissioning and servicing are only permitted to be carried out by qualified person-
nel. Qualified personnel are persons who are familiar with the transport, installation, assembly, commissioning and
operation of the product and have the appropriate qualifications for their job (e.g. IEC 60364). National accident
prevention regulations must be observed.
The safety guidelines, information about connection conditions (nameplate and documentation) and limit values
specified in the technical data must be read carefully before installation and commissioning and must be strictly
observed.
2.4 Transport and storage
During transport and storage, devices must be protected against undue stress (mechanical stress, temperature,
humidity, aggressive atmosphere).
2.5 Installation
•The devices are not ready for use and must be installed and wired according to the requirements of this
documentation in order to comply with EMC limit values.
•Installation must be carried out according to the documentation using suitable equipment and tools.
•Devices are only permitted to be installed in a voltage-free state and by qualified personnel. The control
cabinet must first be disconnected from the power supply and secured against being switched on again.
•General safety regulations and national accident prevention regulations must be observed.
•The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with relevant regulations (e.g. wire cross sec-
tion, fuse protection, protective ground connection).
2.6 Operation
2.6.1 Protection against contact with electrical parts
In order to operate programmable logic controllers, operating and monitoring devices and uninterruptible power
supplies, it is necessary for certain components to carry dangerous voltages over 42 VDC. Touching one of these
components can result in a life-threatening electric shock. There is a risk of death, serious injury or damage to
property.
Before switching on programmable logic controllers, operating and monitoring devices and uninterruptible power
supplies, it must be ensured that the housing is properly connected to ground potential (PE rail). The ground
connection must also be made if the operating and monitoring device and uninterruptible power supply are only
connected for testing purposes or only operated for a short time!
Before switching on, live parts must be securely covered. All covers must be kept closed during operation.
2.6.2 Ambient conditions - Dust, moisture, aggressive gases
The use of operating and monitoring devices (e.g. industrial PCs, Power Panels, Mobile Panels) and uninterruptible
power supplies in dusty environments must be avoided. This can otherwise result in dust deposits that affect the
functionality of the device, especially in systems with active cooling (fans), which may no longer ensure sufficient
cooling.
The presence of aggressive gases in the environment can also result in malfunctions. In combination with high
temperature and relative humidity, aggressive gases – for example with sulfur, nitrogen and chlorine components
– trigger chemical processes that can very quickly impair or damage electronic components. Blackened copper
surfaces and cable ends in existing installations are indicators of aggressive gases.
When operated in rooms with dust and condensation that can endanger functionality, operating and monitoring
devices such as Automation Panels or Power Panels are protected on the front against the ingress of dust and
moisture when installed correctly (e.g. cutout installation). The back of all devices must be protected against the
ingress of dust and moisture, however, or the dust deposits must be removed at suitable intervals.

2.6.3 Programs, viruses and malicious programs
Any data exchange or installation of software using data storage media (e.g. floppy disk, CD-ROM, USB flash
drive) or via networks or the Internet poses a potential threat to the system. It is the direct responsibility of the user
to avert these dangers and to take appropriate measures such as virus protection programs and firewalls to protect
against them and to use only software from trustworthy sources.
2.7 Cybersecurity disclaimer for products
B&R products communicate via a network interface and were developed for secure connection with internal and,
if necessary, other networks such as the Internet.
Information:
In the following, B&R products are referred to as "product" and all types of networks (e.g. internal
networks and the Internet) are referred to as "network".
It is the sole responsibility of the customer to establish and continuously ensure a secure connection between
the product and the network. In addition, appropriate security measures must be implemented and maintained
to protect the product and entire network from any security breaches, unauthorized access, interference, digital
intrusion, data leakage and/or theft of data or information.
B&R Industrial Automation GmbH and its subsidiaries are not liable for damages and/or losses in connection
with security breaches, unauthorized access, interference, digital intrusion, data leakage and/or theft of data or
information.
The aforementioned appropriate security measures include, for example:
•Segmentation of the network (e.g. separation of the IT network from the control network1))
•Use of firewalls
•Use of authentication mechanisms
•Encryption of data
•Use of anti-malware software
Before B&R releases products or updates, they are subjected to appropriate functional testing. Independently of
this, we recommend that our customers develop their own test processes in order to be able to check the effects
of changes in advance. Such changes include, for example:
•Installation of product updates
•Significant system modifications such as configuration changes
•Deployment of updates or patches for third-party software (non-B&R software)
•Hardware replacement
These tests should ensure that implemented security measures remain effective and that systems in the customer's
environment behave as expected.
1) The term "control network" refers to computer networks used to connect control systems. The control network can be divided into zones, and there can be
several separate control networks within a company or site. The term "control systems" refers to all types of B&R products such as controllers (e.g. X20), HMI
systems (e.g. Power Panel T30), process control systems (e.g. APROL) and supporting systems such as engineering workstations with Automation Studio.

3 System overview
3.1 Information about this user's manual
This user's manual contains all the necessary information for a functioning Automation PC 3100 panel mount
device.
Information:
All specifications in dimension diagrams and associated tables are in millimeters [mm].
3.2 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.
3.3 Versatility through modularity
Automation 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 memory modules on the APC3100. 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 as needed to the respective application. All variants
are fanless, which means that the Automation 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 means that
this PC generation can also handle very demanding applications.
