The power of a PC

Dec. 2, 2019
B&R's industrial controllers take performance to a whole new level

The new B&R X20CP3687X controller combines the performance of an industrial PC with the compact design of the X20 controller series. With powerful processing, additional RAM and integrated onboard flash memory, the high-performance controller can handle complex control algorithms or even robotics applications that previously would have called for an industrial PC.

With a TSN-enabled Ethernet interface, the X20CP3687X is well-equipped for the future. It is fully prepared for communication using the manufacturer-independent communication standard OPC UA over TSN. The controller comes standard with connections for USB and POWERLINK. 

Additional interfaces can be added via interface modules. Despite its powerful capabilities, the new module has exactly the same design and dimensions as all the other controllers in B&R's X20 series.
