B&R X20CP0483 Compact - S Controller: High - Performance ARM Cortex - A9, 500 MHz, POWERLINK, Ethernet, USB - Ideal for Industrial Automation Solutions

Material Number and Core Hardware Configuration

The material number of this product is X20CP0483. It is a part of the X20 Compact - S family. Equipped with an ARM Cortex - A9 processor running at 500 MHz and an integrated I/O processor, it offers substantial computing power. It has 256 MB DDR3 SDRAM for smooth operation and a 1 GB onboard flash drive for data storage. The inclusion of 32 kB FRAM for remanent variables storage further enhances its data - handling capabilities.

Physical Design Features

The X20CP0483 stands out for its physical design. It is fanless and battery - free, which means it is maintenance - free, reducing the total cost of ownership. Its extremely compact size makes it suitable for applications where space is at a premium. This design not only saves space but also ensures reliability as there are no moving parts like fans that could potentially fail.

Communication and Expansion Capabilities

This controller offers a rich set of communication options. POWERLINK with onboard poll response chaining, Ethernet, and 2x onboard USB ports enable seamless connectivity. It also has an RS232 interface. Additionally, an optional RS485 or CAN interface is available. For applications with more complex requirements, it can be modularly expanded with one or two X20 interface slots, allowing the use of the entire X20 fieldbus interface product range.
