B&R Industrial Automation X20CP3586 Industrial PC

The X20CP3586 is a fanless, compact Industrial PC module from B&R’s X20 control platform, delivering a 1.6 GHz CPU for embedded automation tasks and acting as a controller within the X20 system. It offers 1x RS232, 1x Ethernet, 1x POWERLINK (V1/V2), 2x USB, and 1x X2X Link interfaces, plus a CompactFlash slot for program and data storage, all enclosed in an IP20-rated housing suitable for indoor industrial environments. The unit supports controller redundancy and includes battery-backed operation with LED status indicators, plus software-accessible diagnostics to monitor health and storage. Power demands are modest, with 9.7 W typical consumption without additional interface modules or USB devices, and internal I/O consumption listed at 0.6 W. Cooling is passive (fanless), aligning with environments where quiet, maintenance-free operation is important. Certifications include CE and UKCA marks, plus allowances for hazardous locations (ATEX Zone 2, II 3G Ex nA nC IIA T5 Gc), reflecting its suitability for restricted and potentially explosive atmospheres depending on regional approvals. Built for space-constrained automation cabinets, the X20CP3586 integrates with POWERLINK real-time networking and X2X Link for expanded I/O and fieldbus connectivity, enabling reliable automation control, data collection, and integration with surrounding B&R components such as ACOPOS drives and HMI solutions.
