The B&R X20CP1484 PLC CPU Controller is a compact programmable controller designed for standard industrial automation applications requiring reliable control performance, modular expansion capability, and integrated industrial communication interfaces.

As part of the B&R X20 PLC family, the X20CP1484 combines an Intel Celeron 266 MHz processor with an additional I/O processor to provide deterministic control performance for machine automation tasks. Its compact design makes it suitable for applications where cabinet space and system simplicity are important.

The controller integrates Ethernet, POWERLINK, USB, and RS232 communication interfaces, allowing direct connection with industrial networks, engineering tools, visualization systems, and distributed I/O devices. The onboard POWERLINK interface supports real-time communication for synchronized automation applications.

Compared with higher-performance X20 controllers such as the X20CP1585, the X20CP1484 focuses on compact machine control rather than high-end data processing. It is an ideal solution for standard automation equipment, compact production machines, and applications requiring reliable PLC control with modular X20 I/O expansion.

The fanless architecture improves system reliability by eliminating mechanical cooling components, making the controller suitable for long-term industrial operation.

The X20CP1484 supports removable CompactFlash application memory and one additional X20 interface module slot, allowing flexible expansion with communication modules or system accessories.

This product is a PLC CPU controller only. It requires compatible X20 I/O modules, power supply modules, and engineering configuration through Automation Studio.
