1.7 Differences between Power Panel 500 and Power Panel 300/400
1.7.1 General
Like B&R Automation PCs and B&R Panel PCs, the new Power Panel device family PP500 can also have a custom
configuration. Customers can choose from three different CPU boards as well as the amount of main memory. It
is also possible to insert interface boards and, in some devices (devices whose model number ends in -01, e.g.
5PP5xx.xxx-01), I/O boards. For additional information about configuration, see section 1.6 "System components /
1.7.2 Mechanics
Mechanically, the Power Panel 500 can be mounted just like the Power Panel 300/400, but the interface, connector
and key positions are different. Section 5 "Mounting compatibility" on page 291 provides an overview of instal-
lation compatibility.
