Product Description:

The 2CP100.60-1 controller is produced by B&R Automation for the System 2010 Controllers series. Serving as the primary CPU module, it supervises programmable logic, motion commands, and communication links within an industrial control cabinet. The module is intended for deterministic control of conveyors, pick-and-place units, and continuous processes where sub-microsecond reaction time is required. That role lets the controller coordinate logic execution while exchanging data with connected I/O and motion hardware. Its integrated runtime kernel, local memory, and battery-supervised clock enable resume-on-power-up behavior and minimize downtime in factory environments.

The unit plugs into the BP300 backplane, which distributes power and data to adjacent expansion cards. Each scan of the user program finishes in 0.8 µs, so position loops and interrupts can be serviced thousands of times per second. Data exchange is buffered by 128 KByte SRAM in dual-ported memory that the CPU and I/O master can access simultaneously. IF1 offers a standard RS232 connector for engineering tools, IF2 can switch between RS232 and TTY signaling, and IF3 supports RS485 or RS422 for multidrop devices. With a load of only 10 W, the controller dissipates little heat and can be cooled by normal panel airflow. The design omits a separate MMU or FPU to keep timing predictable.

Diagnostics are shown on a 2 x 8 character display, and the module occupies 2 slots of rack width to save panel space. Application code is held in 256 KByte SRAM, while a nonvolatile clock with 10 msec resolution provides time stamps for data logging. Battery monitoring indicates when the backup supply is low, helping preserve retained data and clock operation. The housing measures 285 × 80 × 185 mm, and the low-current 24 V supply is sufficient for the controller and its auxiliaries.
