B&R X20CP1483
Intel x86-based, 100 MHz-compatible CPU with integrated I/O processor Onboard Ethernet, POWERLINK and USB 1 slot for modular interface expansion CompactFlash as removable application memory Fanless The Intel x86-based, 100 MHz-compatible X20CP1483 represents the entry-level X20 controllers. With an optimum price/performance ratio, it has the same basic features as all of the larger controllers. Onboard Ethernet and USB are standard. In addition, the controller has a POWERLINK connection for hard real-time communication. Another slot is available for an additional interface module to increase flexibility. The only difference between the two variants X20CP1483 and X20CP1483-1 is the size of the SDRAM.
