Description

Functional Features of B&R X20CP1586

I. High-Performance Processing Capability

• Equipped with an ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core processor running at up to 1 GHz, supporting multi-task parallel processing to quickly execute complex control logic, motion algorithms, and data operations.
• Built-in Floating-Point Unit (FPU) enhances mathematical calculation accuracy and efficiency, suitable for high-precision control scenarios (e.g., robotics, precision machinery).

• Supports nanosecond-level timers and high-speed counters to respond in real time to fast input signals (e.g., encoder pulses, sensor triggers).
• Embedded Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) ensures deterministic and real-time control tasks, meeting industrial real-time control requirements.

II. Rich Communication Interfaces and Protocols

• 2× Ethernet ports: Support mainstream industrial communication protocols such as Ethernet POWERLINK (B&R's real-time industrial Ethernet), PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP, enabling high-speed data interaction between the controller and upper computers, sensors, and drives.
• 2× RS232/RS485 serial ports: Compatible with protocols like Modbus RTU and CANopen, suitable for traditional industrial devices.
• USB ports: Used for program downloading, data backup, or connecting external devices (e.g., keyboards, USB drives).

• Connects to distributed I/O modules (e.g., X20DI, X20AO) via the X20 bus (high-speed backplane bus), supporting hot-swapping for easy system expansion and maintenance.
• Can connect up to 254 modules, meeting the I/O point requirements of large-scale automation systems.

III. Modularity and Flexibility

• As the central processing unit (CPU) module of the X20 series, it seamlessly integrates with X20 series I/O modules, motion control modules, and safety modules to build customized control systems.
• Supports modular installation via rail mounting, saving control cabinet space and facilitating on-site deployment.

• Supports IEC 61131-3 standard programming languages: Ladder Diagram (LD), Structured Text (ST), Function Block Diagram (FBD), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), etc., adapting to different engineers' programming habits.
• Uses the B&R Automation Studio development platform, integrating project management, programming, debugging, and simulation functions, with support for code reuse and version control to enhance development efficiency.

IV. Motion Control and Expansion Capability

• Supports multi-axis synchronization control (e.g., electronic cam, gear synchronization), with a maximum of 64 axes (requires matching motion control modules), suitable for scenarios requiring high-precision motion control such as robotics, printing machinery, and packaging equipment.
• Compatible with the B&R ACOPOS servo system, achieving real-time communication and control of servo drives via Ethernet POWERLINK.

• Connects to dedicated modules via the X20 bus for expanded functions, including:
• Safety control (e.g., X20SC safety module, compliant with ISO 13849 standards);
• Vision inspection (integrated machine vision algorithms or third-party vision systems);
• Internet of Things (IoT) interfaces (e.g., MQTT, OPC UA for data cloud integration and remote monitoring).

V. Industrial-Grade Reliability and Environmental Adaptability

• Operates in a wide temperature range of -25°C to +60°C, adapting to harsh industrial environments (e.g., high-temperature workshops, cold storage).
• Resistant to vibration and shock (compliant with IEC 60068-2-6/27 standards), meeting mechanical stress requirements in industrial fields.
• Power redundancy and reverse polarity protection design ensure hardware safety during power fluctuations or wiring errors.

• The controller Ontology (rail-mounted) has an IP20 protection rating, and higher protection requirements can be met with a control cabinet.
• Supports long-term stable operation with an average mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 100,000 hours, suitable for 24/7 continuous production scenarios.

VI. Data Management and Diagnostic Functions

• Built-in non-volatile memory (e.g., flash) supports power-off preservation of programs and data.
• Records system logs, fault alarms, and operational data for problem tracing and process optimization.

• Enables online monitoring via Automation Studio: real-time viewing of variable statuses, parameter modification, forced I/O outputs, etc.
• Supports remote debugging (via Ethernet), reducing on-site maintenance costs and improving fault response speed.
