4PPC30.043F-21B Power Panel C30 4.3 Inch Dual CAN Controller

The B&R 4PPC30.043F-21B combines a 4.3-inch resistive-touch HMI with an embedded Power Panel C30 controller. Its 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, 256 MB DRAM, 512 MB flash and 8 kB FRAM support Automation Runtime applications with a shortest task class cycle of 1 ms.

The -21B interface code identifies the dual-CAN version. It is more compact than the 7-inch and 10.1-inch C30 models and is intended where two CAN networks must be connected without adding separate communication modules.

Key Features

· Integrated controller and 4.3-inch HMI in one panel

· WQVGA 480 x 272 pixels analog resistive touch display

· 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 controller with 8 kB FRAM

· Two software-terminated CAN bus interfaces

· One Fast Ethernet port and two USB 2.0 ports

· IP65 front protection with -20 to 60°C operation

Typical Applications

· Compact CAN-based machines

· Mobile and material handling equipment

· Small packaging systems

· Dual-CAN gateway control

· Integrated control and local visualization

Compatibility Note

The C30 is a controller-design Power Panel. It does not provide ACOPOS or integrated safety support. Check the Automation Runtime project, fieldbus wiring, terminal blocks, hardware revision and panel cutout before replacement.

FAQ

Q: Is this model only an HMI terminal?

A: No. The C30 combines an HMI display with an Automation Runtime controller in the same panel.

Q: Which fieldbus interfaces are fitted?

A: Two CAN bus interfaces are fitted. Each supports up to 1 Mbit/s with a software-switchable 120 ohm terminating resistor.

Q: Does this C30 support ACOPOS motion control?

A: No. The official specification lists ACOPOS support as not available for this C30 model.

Q: Can it be used as a safety controller?

A: No. Integrated safety support is not provided. A separately engineered safety system is required where applicable.

Q: What retentive memory is available?

A: The controller provides 8 kB FRAM for remanent variables with retention greater than 10 years.

Q: What must be checked before replacing an installed panel?

A: Match the complete model number, fieldbus interface set, terminal blocks, panel cutout, Automation Runtime version, hardware revision and application backup.
