Rail-mounted CPUs offer fast cycle times

B and R now offers powerful CPUs for the X20 system.

B and R now offers powerful CPUs for the X20 system.

Based on the latest Intel Celeron processor technology, the X20 CPUs offer cycle times of 200us.

This enables extremely fast processes to be automated with the highest level of precision.

Machine quality and clock rates reach new heights.

Thanks to the ultra-low-voltage design, the processors are able to maintain this high computing performance with very low power consumption.

Large amounts of RAM grant the user unrestricted freedom with applications.

This is complemented by a battery buffered nonvolatile SRAM for task specific data.

The data content remains intact until the controller is restarted, and the process can simply be resumed.

A CompactFlash slot is provided for saving programs or application data, such as recipes.

Today, state-of-the-art industrial communication is synonymous with Ethernet.

That is why the X20 CPUs are equipped with two independent Fast Ethernet interfaces.

One RJ45 connection is set up for TCP/IP communication, and the second provides optimal support for Ethernet Powerlink, eg for axis and I/O connections in true real time with extremely short cycle times.

There are two additional ports available for USB devices, such as additional mass memory.

An RS232 port rounds off the extensive standard features of the X20 CPUs.

For machines and equipment in all industries, it is vital that the entire system functions properly in its environment.

This also holds true for rail-mounted installations.

A complete unit consisting of an X20 CPU and X20 I/O modules can be mounted and removed as a single assembly, providing the highest performance, many standard interfaces and interface modules for expansions - yet with unbelievably compact dimensions.

The dimensions of the CPU match those of the X20 modules, which prevents unnecessary waste of space in the switching cabinet.
