Product Description:

The 0CFCRD.0512E.02 is an industrial CompactFlash card produced by B&R Automation within the 5CF Compact Flash Cards series. This removable memory module provides nonvolatile storage for controller programs, operating system images, and process data in automated equipment. Its form factor fits control hardware that accepts CompactFlash media, and the solid-state design resists vibration common in control cabinets and on-machine installations. It is well suited for controllers that must boot from removable media and retain application data after power is removed.

The card offers a capacity of 512 MB, which is adequate for PLC projects and logged production batches. Sequential transfer performance reaches 32.2 MB/s when reading and 19.9 MB/s when writing, so stored files and recipes transfer quickly. It communicates through UDMA6 / MDMA4 / PIO6 timing modes, letting the host select the fastest compatible path across different controller interfaces. Data integrity is characterized by fewer than <1 unrecoverable error per 10^17 bits read, which supports dependable operation in continuously running machines. Flash cells tolerate up to 100,000 program-erase cycles, supporting frequent configuration changes over the card's service life.

Reliability features supplement the raw media limits. Integrated error-correcting code detects and repairs bit faults before they reach the controller, while built-in S.M.A.R.T. support reports wear indicators to the host system. Endurance is further extended by global, dynamic, and static wear-leveling, which distributes writes across all blocks and helps reduce localized stress on heavily updated sectors. The card uses single-level-cell flash, a memory type that helps maintain low latency and consistent data retention during temperature changes common on factory floors.
