The B&R 3IF260.60-1 is a SYSTEM 2005 CPU and programmable interface processor designed for legacy industrial automation systems. It can operate either as the main CPU in Slot 3 or as a programmable interface processor when installed in Slot 4 or a higher slot.
The module is built around a local RISC processor core and includes 850 KB of user SRAM, 1.5 MB of user FlashPROM, 174 KB of system SRAM, and 512 KB of system FlashPROM. Its typical instruction cycle time is 0.4 μs, supporting responsive control and interface-processing tasks in machine automation applications.
When configured as a programmable interface processor, the 3IF260.60-1 can reduce the processing load on the primary PLC CPU. Communication between the main CPU and the local processor is handled through a dual-port RAM data area, allowing consistent exchange of UINT data values.
The module includes one insert slot for compatible serial, CAN, PROFIBUS DP, Ethernet, and Ethernet POWERLINK interface modules. This enables SYSTEM 2005 control systems to integrate different communication networks without changing the main processor architecture.
The module is commonly used in retrofit, repair, and maintenance projects involving SYSTEM 2005 PLC platforms, machine control panels, process equipment, packaging machinery, and industrial communication systems.
