B&R X20CP1585 Industrial PLC | Dual-Core 600MHz CPU with PROFINET RT & 4-Slot Modular Expansion

Description

The B&R X20CP1585 is an industrial programmable logic controller (PLC) belonging to the B&R X20 series, which offers three product lines—standard, compact, and fieldbus-integrated—to meet diverse project requirements. Equipped with a dual-core 600MHz CPU, this PLC delivers high processing power for demanding industrial control tasks. It features 4-slot modular expansion, allowing flexible configuration to match specific application needs.

Key connectivity features include support for PROFINET RT, along with compatibility for a wide range of other industrial communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet POWERLINK, Profibus, DeviceNet, Modbus, RS485/422, and RS232, ensuring seamless integration with mainstream fieldbus systems. Built on an open network architecture, it leverages advanced distributed control design, enabling connection of remote I/O modules via multiple bus types to combine traditional control and distributed I/O technology.

For distributed setups, it uses X2X communication between backplanes, supporting a maximum distance of 100 meters between units at a 12MHz rate, with capacity for up to 253 I/O stations. Copper twisted-pair cabling is used for X2X links to provide strong anti-interference performance, and module configuration is fully customizable based on user process requirements. A reported compatible operating parameter includes a 220V working voltage and 50Hz output frequency.
