Description
Product Overview
The B&R 5PC910.SX01-00 Automation PC 910 System Unit is an industrial computer platform designed for machine-level computing and automation tasks. It provides the housing and mainboard foundation for a configurable APC910 system, with compatible CPU boards, memory, storage, and bus hardware selected according to the installation requirements. Typical uses include machine control, operator visualization, industrial data processing, and applications that need a PC-based platform integrated into a production environment.
Connectivity is a key feature of this system unit. The documented configuration includes two Gigabit Ethernet ports, four USB 3.0 ports, one front USB 2.0 port, an RS-232 interface, a CFast card slot, DisplayPort, and an SDL/DVI/monitor interface. A single expansion position supports either PCI or PCI Express, depending on the installed bus unit. The B&R 5PC910.SX01-00 operates from a nominal 24 VDC supply, with a specified tolerance of ±25% and a maximum current rating of 5.5 A. Actual power demand depends on the installed hardware.
For maintenance and procurement teams, the critical distinction is that the B&R 5PC910.SX01-00 identifies the system unit, not necessarily a complete, ready-to-run computer with every CPU, memory module, storage device, and expansion card installed. Before replacing an existing APC910, compare the CPU board, bus unit, memory configuration, storage media, interface options, and operating-system image. A physically matching system unit may still require the original configuration data and compatible components to restore the machine to service.
Product Introduction (Non-Templated)
An industrial PC replacement can fail at commissioning even when the chassis fits: the bus unit, CPU board, storage image, or expansion hardware may differ from the original configuration. The 5PC910.SX01-00 is the APC910 system unit that provides the platform for those selected components.
Check the complete configuration before ordering. Confirm the 24 VDC supply capacity, required PCI or PCIe interface, installed CPU board, and storage media. These checks help prevent a replacement arriving without the hardware needed to run the existing application.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the B&R 5PC910. used for?
It is the system unit for the B&R Automation PC 910 industrial computer family. With compatible CPU, memory, storage, and bus components, it can support industrial computing and machine automation applications.
2. Does the 5PC910. include a CPU and memory?
The model identifies the system unit. Do not assume that every offered unit includes a CPU board, memory, storage, or expansion hardware. Request a component list and photographs of the actual unit before purchase.
3. Can I hot-swap this system unit?
Do not assume hot-swap capability. Shut down the computer and isolate its 24 VDC supply according to the equipment procedure before removing or replacing the unit. Protect application data and verify the machine’s safe state before restarting.
4. Does the 5PC910. support firmware v3.1?
A specific firmware version v3.1 is not verified for this system-unit part number. The relevant software or firmware may belong to the CPU board, BIOS, operating system, or application. Identify the installed hardware and software versions before planning an update.
5. Can I replace my existing system unit directly?
Potentially, but confirm the CPU board, bus unit, memory, storage, interface options, and expansion card requirements. Also verify the existing operating-system image and application dependencies. Matching the system-unit number alone does not guarantee a complete functional replacement.
6. What power supply is required?
The documented input is 24 VDC ±25%, with maximum nominal current of 5.5 A. The manual also specifies a starting current of up to 60 A for less than 300 μs. Select the supply and protective devices with the startup demand and installed configuration in mind.
7. What should I verify when buying a used or refurbished unit?
Check the complete model number, system-unit condition, connectors, front-panel controls, and signs of damage. Request the installed CPU and bus-unit details, available test results, and warranty terms. If the system must restore an existing machine, verify access to the original storage image, software license information, and configuration backups.
Procurement recommendation: For a reliable replacement assessment, record the full part number, installed CPU board, bus-unit model, memory capacity, storage type, and required expansion interface before ordering.
