4PPC30.101G-23B Power Panel C30 10.1 Inch RS485 Controller

The B&R 4PPC30.101G-23B combines a 10.1-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.

This model combines the largest C30 display in the batch with the -23B CAN and RS485 interface set. Its 1024 x 600 screen supports more detailed process views, while RS485 is suited to longer-distance serial communication than the RS232-equipped -22B model.

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: One CAN bus and one RS485 interface are fitted. The RS485 interface supports up to 115.2 kbit/s and a maximum specified distance of 1200 m.

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.
