B&R Industrial Automation X20CP1485 PLC CPU Module

For the B&R X20 automation family, the X20CP1485 is a dedicated CPU module that serves as the central processing unit for X20-based control systems, orchestrating program execution, data handling, and real-time communications within compact industrial controllers. Designed to fit into the X20 ecosystem, the X20CP1485 consolidates the processor, memory, and core I/O interface into a single module that interfaces with X20 I/O and fieldbus modules, enabling streamlined configuration with B&R Automation Studio. Powered by an Intel Celeron 400 MHz processor, it ships with 32 MB SDRAM and provides a comprehensive set of onboard interfaces: 1 RS232, 1 Ethernet, 1 PowerLINK V1/V2, 2 USB ports, and 1 X2X Link, delivering both standard and expansion connectivity for robust industrial networking. The X20CP1485-1 variant differs only by SDRAM size and includes a 2 GB CompactFlash memory card (SLC) for program and data storage, reflecting B&R’s approach of pairing modest RAM with embedded flash storage in a compact CPU package. With these features, the X20CP1485 family supports reliable real-time control for automation tasks, enabling consistent machine performance while offering straightforward integration with X20 bus modules and the broader B&R Automation Studio toolchain for configuration, programming, and diagnostics.
