Product Description:
The 3CP340.60-2 controller module is built by B & R Automation for the System 2005 Controllers series. Installed as the central processing unit on a System 2005 backplane, it manages program execution, fieldbus communication, and real-time task scheduling within automated machinery. By combining on-board memory, a dedicated processor, and multiple communication ports, it provides deterministic control for packaging lines, material handling systems, and general machine automation where coordinated axis motion and discrete I/O sequencing are required. It fits into standard rack slots and draws on the System 2005 power and backplane bus to exchange real-time I/O data with distributed modules.
An Intel Pentium 166 processor supplies the computing core, giving adequate instruction throughput for ladder, structured text, and C routines. Volatile storage includes 32 MB of DRAM for dynamic variables and task stacks, while non-volatile 512 kB of SRAM retains critical data across power cycles. Application code and firmware reside on a CompactFlash card, allowing quick field replacement and version management. Network traffic is handled over 100BASE-T Ethernet, supporting deterministic UDP or TCP exchanges with higher-level SCADA or peer controllers.
Discrete device integration is simplified by one RS232 port, typically mapped for point-to-point links with barcode scanners or legacy drives. A single USB interface offers convenient service access for program downloads or local data logging. Expansion is possible through one APCI slot, permitting specialty counter, analog, or motion cards without changing the CPU footprint. Physical network access is limited to one Ethernet port, so determinism is maintained by segregating control traffic on a dedicated switch while the removable memory style supports off-line program staging.
