X20CP3485 Advantages
The B&R X20CP3485 Controller module stands out from comparable high-performance compact PLC controller modules in several key areas.
Fan-less high-performance real-time computing architecture. Intel Celeron 400 MHz main processor paired with dedicated background I/O off-load processor, shortest 400 µs task cycle supports complex multi-axis ACOPOS motion control and heavy-load process computing without cooling fans.
Three modular expansion slots. Compared with single-slot CPU models, the B&R X20CP3485 Controller module provides three expansion slots, allowing multiple different fieldbus interface modules to be installed simultaneously for complex multi-vendor system integration.
Rich native multi-protocol communication. Onboard 10/100 Mbit Ethernet, POWERLINK real-time bus, USB1.1 and RS232 reduce reliance on external gateway hardware, suitable for equipment networking and high-speed motion control scenarios.
Removable CompactFlash storage solution. Application programs, firmware and recipe data can be stored on CompactFlash media, convenient for program backup, device cloning and on-site program replacement.
Battery-backed remanent memory and real-time clock. Integrated lithium backup battery preserves remanent variable data and RTC time data during power loss, with built-in battery monitoring function to send early warning for battery aging.
Wide operating temperature range. The B&R X20CP3485 Controller module performs reliably under variable cabinet thermal conditions for both horizontal and vertical DIN-rail mounting orientations. No additional cooling or heating protection is required.
Native X20 System integration. As a factory-original B&R component, the B&R X20CP3485 Controller module directly mates with compatible X20 terminal blocks, I/O and bus hardware. No extra adapters or custom modification are required.
