Product Description

The B&R Automation part number 3IF060. 6 is a system module of the SYSTEM 2005 that could work as the CPU or as the programmable interface processor. This is due to the slot in which it is installed; particularly, slot 3 identifies it as a CPU module.

This feature is quite helpful in industrial automation systems where modularity is of great importance in the system. This module is quite power-conscious consuming no more than 1 watt of power which is suitable for applications in power-conscious environments. It incorporates a local processor core which contains a RISC processor, local RAM, and an operating system to allow it to perform many functionalities on its own. The communication between the CPU PLC and the IF260 is done through the DPR area with the PPdpr library which provides for proper handling of data. Regarding the memory, the 3IF060. 6 is solid with 174 KB of system SRAM, 850 KB of user SRAM, 512 KB of system Flash PROM, and 1536 KB of user Flash PROM. The above specifications make it possible to provide large memory for data storage as well as immediate access to frequently used instructions and data.

The module has an insertion slot for the interface modules which increases the module's capability to incorporate several buses and networks in the SYSTEM 2005. It provides a lot of flexibility and performance improvements, which makes it an indispensable element for increasing the functionality and communication of various elements of industrial automation. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
