Product Description:

The 0CFCRD.1024E.02 CompactFlash card is produced by B&R Automation and belongs to the 5CF Compact Flash Cards series. Within machine controllers, it provides removable, solid-state mass storage for operating systems, trend files, and alarm logs that must remain available after power cycling. Its 50-pin form factor fits directly into B&R CPU slots, so no separate cable is needed and installation stays compact. Because it plugs directly into the controller, it also suits applications where space is limited and rotating storage media would be less practical.

Its capacity is 1024 MB, which is large enough for extended recipe sets and multiple system images. Sustained data transfer reaches 64.1 MB/s when reading and 29 MB/s when writing, so program downloads and log retrieval finish quickly. The card’s bit error rate is lower than 1 error per 10^17 bits read, and integrated error-correcting code automatically detects and corrects single-bit faults. To withstand cyclic data logging, the NAND array is rated for 100,000 erase and write cycles, and the single-level-cell flash structure helps reduce disturb effects. Operation can continue in enclosures reaching a relative humidity of 85% at 85 °C, which supports use in high-temperature, high-moisture processing lines. S.M.A.R.T. attributes are available so software can track remaining lifetime.

The housing endures storage shock up to 1500 g peak, which helps protect stored data during shipment or machine vibration. Host controllers may access the card through UDMA6 / MDMA4 / PIO6 modes, allowing compatibility with both legacy and higher-speed buses. Flash management uses global, dynamic and static wear leveling, so write activity is distributed across the memory blocks instead of being concentrated in one area. The card has no moving parts, which makes it suitable for PLCs, drives, and operator panels that operate with repeated start-stop cycles and continuous data retention needs.
