Product Description:

The 3IF260.60-1 interface module is produced by B & R Automation for the System 2005 Controllers series. Installed on the backplane of a modular PLC rack, it provides the physical and logical bridge between axis control tasks and higher-level CPU resources. Within an automation cell, the module exchanges synchronized motion and process data so the controller can issue timely commands to drives, I/O nodes, and visualization units.

The unit draws a maximum of 3.5 W, a figure important when sizing the cabinet’s power supply and thermal management. A typical instruction is executed in 0.4 µs, giving the controller deterministic scan times required for coordinated motion functions. Firmware and boot code reside in 512 KB FlashPROM, preventing loss after power removal, while application-specific programs are stored in an additional 1.5 MB FlashPROM. A single-width housing conserves rack space, and one insert slot lets the board slide into place without affecting adjacent modules. A reset button on the front plate permits a manual warm restart if software hangs.

During runtime the board buffers variables in 850 KB SRAM, and system diagnostics occupy a separate 174 KB SRAM area so user data remain unaffected by operating logs. The real-time clock stamps events with a resolution of 1 s, which is adequate for batch tracking and maintenance scheduling. Integrated battery monitoring alerts the main CPU before backup power for the clock or SRAM falls below a safe threshold. Motion tasks are aligned through built-in NC synchronization, ensuring axis interpolation matches the controller cycle. These features are packaged in a single module that relies on the central backplane for power, communication, and firmware updates.
