Product Description
The X20CP3484-UPS controller is a highly compact solution featuring an ultra-fast cycle time of just 800 microseconds. Its miniature size opens up applications in even the tightest of spaces, yet it still delivers robust performance through reliable components. At the core is an Intel Celeron 266 processor to smoothly handle control tasks with low latency. This zippy processor combined with efficient programming makes for exceptional real-time control capabilities.
Expanding the controller's connectivity is simple through its array of built-in interfaces. Onboard Ethernet, POWERLINK, and USB ports provide seamless integration within automation environments. POWERLINK in particular supports high-speed real-time communication well-suited for demanding motion control and machine applications. Users can take advantage of connections to industrial networks, programming devices, and more without adding external modules. But modularity is still a strength, as three I/O module slots furnish flexibility. Operators can tailor the input/output configuration precisely to their specific machine's needs. A wide selection of compatible plug-in modules means any required signals can be added, from digital and analog to specialized interface types. This future-proofs the controller to evolve alongside changing requirements in the plant.
Reliable long-term storage is critical for controller tasks, and to this end, the X20CP3484-UPS is equipped with removable CompactFlash memory. Large capacities and consistent solid-state storage lend themselves well to retaining control programs and archiving production data. Easy removal further simplifies transferring files between machines or as part of maintenance procedures. Perhaps most impressive is this controller's tiny footprint without compromising durability. Cooling is fully passive through optimal internal layout and convection rather than fans, minimizing noise pollution on the factory floor. Rigorous component testing and stringent quality control gives high confidence it can withstand vibration and temperature extremes encountered in industrial environments for years.
