Wake Industrial LLC is not an authorized distributor of this product.
The B & R Automation ECPP60-01 is a control module from the ECP Multi Control Modules series, equipped with a 6809 processor and 42 KBytes of RAM for application programs. It supports MULTI, MIDI, and M264 racks, and offers RS485, RS232, and TTY interfaces, with certain interfaces being electrically isolated. The module has a processing time of 2.5 milliseconds per thousand instructions and includes 11264 registers, of which 11244 are remanent.
Internal Product Review
The ECPP60-01 is an ECP multi control module built around a 6809 processor with 42 KByte RAM application program memory. RS485/RS232/TTY user interface options and isolated RS485 communication support clean integration in mixed-control environments. Processing time of 2.5 msec/K instructions and capacity for 42 K instructions give this module crisp execution for established machine control tasks.

Product Description:
The ECPP60-01 is a central processing module produced by B&R Automation for the ECP Multi Control Modules series. Installed on a system backplane, it executes user logic, maintains data tables, and relays messages between expansion racks and supervisory computers. By handling these core tasks inside an automated line, the board supports deterministic sequence control, coordinated motion starts, and alarm handling without requiring multiple decentralized CPUs. That arrangement also lets one controller manage I/O updates and message traffic across the rack without shifting control tasks to separate processor cards.
Application memory amounts to 42 KByte RAM, which provides space for ladder steps, structured-text blocks, and system variables. Program size is limited to 42 K Instructions, and the Motorola 6809 microprocessor executes them at a scan rate of 2.5 msec per K instructions. A pool of 11264 registers is available; 11,244 of those values are retained at power-up, while 20 are cleared at startup so counters and temporary data can be separated. This memory and processing arrangement suits moderate control programs that combine sequencing, status handling, and retained process values on the same module. Because the PROM module is not included, user programs reside in volatile memory and are loaded through a serial utility.
The communication design helps protect connected equipment from ground loops. The bus lines use isolated RS485 drivers, the RS232 channel remains non-isolated for short cable runs, and the TTY receive path is isolated as well. Access is available through TTY (62.5 kBaud) for online tracing, while the general-purpose RS485/RS232/TTY (19.2 kBaud) port can be used for setpoint changes and routine data exchange. The board draws +8 V at 7 W from the backplane, with additional demands of +15 V at 1.5 W and -30 V at 0.5 W for interface logic. It fits into MULTI, MIDI, or M264 racks, and its software clock provides volatile date and time stamps for event logs when higher-level synchronization is unavailable.
