B&R X20CP3586 Atom 1.6GHz Redundant PLC Controller

The B&R X20CP3586 is the highest-performance controller in the CompactFlash-based X20CP35xx group included in this batch. Its 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, 512 MB RAM and 100 µs minimum task-class cycle support complex control programs and fast machine sequences.

Unlike the one-slot X20CP1586, the X20CP3586 provides three modular interface slots and supports controller redundancy. It is therefore better suited to communication-intensive systems and high-availability installations.

Key Features

• 1.6 GHz Intel Atom E680T processor
• 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM
• 100 µs minimum task-class cycle
• Three modular communication slots
• Up to 1 MB remanent variables
• Controller redundancy support

Typical Applications

• High-speed packaging and printing machinery
• Redundant production-line controllers
• Multi-axis POWERLINK systems
• Complex process and material-handling systems
• Performance replacement for X20CP35xx installations

FAQ

Q: How does X20CP3586 differ from X20CP1586?

A: Both use a 1.6 GHz Atom processor with 512 MB RAM. The X20CP3586 has three interface slots and supports redundancy; the X20CP1586 has one slot and no redundancy support.

Q: Is X20CP3586 faster than X20CP3585?

A: Yes. It increases CPU speed from 1 to 1.6 GHz, doubles RAM to 512 MB and reduces the minimum task cycle from 200 to 100 µs.

Q: Is application storage removable?

A: Yes. The application is stored on a CompactFlash card, which must be compatible with the CPU and Automation Runtime configuration.
