Product Description

The X20CP3684 from B&R Automation is a powerful processor module that is ideal for use in industrial automation applications. This model is equipped with an Atom E3915 processor with a clock frequency of 400 MHz, which provides stable performance for a wide range of control tasks.

It has an LPDDR4 RAM of 512MB which helps in the quick retrieval of data for the execution of multiple applications, and for storing important data and applications it has an eMMC flash memory of 1GB. To meet the different communication requirements, the X20CP3684 has several flexible interfaces. It contains one RS232 interface for serial communication, one Ethernet interface for networking, one POWERLINK V2 interface for real-time Ethernet, two USB interfaces for peripherals, and one X2X Link interface for ease of integration with other B&R products. For energy efficiency, the module consumes a power of 6. 9 W and works on a 24 VDC power source which is regulated to ~20% voltage deviation. The device is small in size, has dimensions of 150 mm x 99 mm x 85 mm, and has a weight of 480 g, which makes it easy to install in different industrial environments. The module is designed to operate in severe environmental conditions and has an operating temperature range of -25 to 60 degrees C when installed as a horizontal unit, with a storage temperature range of -40 to 70 degrees C.

The fanless cooling method makes the module more reliable as there is no mechanical part that can fail and less maintenance is required. Moreover, the module comes equipped with a non-volatile real-time clock with a 1-second time base and accuracy of ~ 10 to 10 ppm at 25 degrees C. The X20CP3684 is also well equipped with inbuilt diagnostic features for battery status, CPU function as well as CompactFlash, Ethernet, POWERLINK, and over temperature. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
