Product Description
The 7CP472.60-1 from B&R Automation is a CPU module designed for the 2003 B&R system. It features a robust memory capacity with 100 KB SRAM and 256 KB FlashPROM. The module operates on a 24 VDC supply, consuming 11 W of power. It is equipped with 4 slots for screw-in modules. Located on the far left of the module rack, it includes status LEDs and connection plugs for both an RS232 interface and an electrically isolated CAN interface. The RS232 interface primarily serves for programming but can also handle general tasks such as visualization, printer connections, and barcode readers.
The 7CP472.60-1 belongs to the Controls & Indicators category, specifically under the subcategory of CPU/Control Boards. This module supports a range of digital and analog I/O options, including 24 VDC or 120/230 VAC digital I/O, and analog inputs like +/-10 V, 0 - 20 mA, thermocouples, and PT100 sensors. The module's standard field bus interface facilitates seamless communication with other control systems, while the remote I/O expansion is made possible using B&R 2003 components and a CAN bus controller, such as the EX470. The incremental encoder or SSI encoder connections operate at 100 kHz with a +5 VDC encoder supply, providing high-speed and precise measurements.
In addition to its primary features, the 7CP472.60-1 allows for the insertion of various screw-in modules into the CP interface. These include analog I/O modules, digital I/O modules utilizing 24 VDC technology, and additional serial interfaces supporting up to three channels. The module's design ensures secure and reliable installation, with screw-in modules firmly fixed into place. Certified with CE and UL approvals, the 7CP472.60-1 is an ideal choice for advanced automation systems requiring dependable and versatile CPU control capabilities.
