4.1 General information
Windows® 7 offers a wealth of innovative features and performance improvements. Faster switching to power
saving mode, quicker restores, less memory usage and high-speed detection of USB devices are just a few of the
advantages provided by Windows® 7. Both German and English are available in Windows® 7 Professional, while
Windows® 7 Ultimate supports up to 35 different languages. Product activation is not necessary on B&R PCs,
which is a huge advantage for simple logistical procedures relating to machine automation.
All of the Windows® operating systems offered by B&R are from the Microsoft Embedded division. This guarantees
much longer availability, especially when compared to products offered on the consumer market.

4.4 Installation
Upon request, B&R can pre-install the required Windows 7 version on the desired mass storage device (e.g.
CompactFlash card, etc.). All of the drivers required for operation (graphics, network, etc.) are also installed when
doing so.
4.5 Drivers
The latest drivers for all approved operating systems can be found in the Download area (Service / Material-related
downloads - BIOS / Drivers / Updates) of the B&R website (
Information:
Required drivers can only be downloaded from the B&R homepage, not from manufacturers' pages.
4.6 Special considerations, limitations
•
Windows 7 does not contain a Beep.sys file, which means that audible signal is no longer played (i.e. when
touching a key or button).
•
Windows 7 system classification is not currently supported (does not apply to PP500, APC510 and APC511
devices).
