Series Overview:
The 4PPC70 series is the core product of B&R's Power Panel C family. Unlike earlier 4PP series, the C70 is a next-generation controller built on a new hardware platform, integrating a high-performance PLC with a touch HMI in a single compact unit. Powered by an Intel Atom E620T 333 MHz processor with 256 MB DDRAM and 2 GB onboard eMMC flash memory, it achieves a minimum task cycle time as low as 0.4 ms. Available in 5.7", 7.0", and 10.1" display sizes with landscape or portrait formats, the C70 is designed for demanding control and visualization tasks in small to midsize machine applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Integrated PLC & HMI — Combines powerful control and intuitive touch interaction in one device, eliminating external PLCs and simplifying system architecture.

• High-Performance Processing — Intel Atom processor enables 0.4 ms minimum cycle time and up to 8 task levels via Automation Runtime, handling multi-axis motion control and complex algorithms with ease.

• Completely Maintenance-Free — Fanless, battery-free, and hard disk-free design ensures zero maintenance. The RTC is backed by a gold foil capacitor for approximately 1000 hours, eliminating battery replacement.

• Rich Integrated Interfaces — Standard includes POWERLINK V2 (managing/controlled node), Ethernet 10/100, X2X Link master, 2×USB 2.0; optional CAN, RS232, RS485 for maximum flexibility.

• Industrial-Grade Durability — IP65 / NEMA Type 4X front panel protection against dust and water, operating temperature 0 to 50°C, suitable for harsh industrial environments.

• Typical Applications:

• Packaging & Printing Machinery — Main operator terminal for high-speed production lines, parameterization, and diagnostics.

• Plastics & Rubber Machinery — Temperature/pressure trend display and process parameter setup for injection molding and extrusion.

• Small to Midsize OEM Equipment — Core of machine control architecture, integrating logic control and HMI.

• Robotics & Automation Lines — Equipment commissioning, status monitoring, and production data interaction.

• Compatibility & Development Environment:
  Programmed and configured via Automation Studio 4.1.4.375 or later, running Automation Runtime K4.08 or later, fully integrated with the B&R ecosystem.
