ECCP40-0
The B & R Automation ECCP40-0 CPU Module is a versatile component in the ECP Multi Control Modules series, designed for industrial automation and control applications. It integrates a Motorola 6303 processor delivering a processing time of 4 ms per 1000 instructions, making it suitable for performance-critical tasks. This compact unit occupies only Body Width 40 mm and offers comprehensive system control in harsh factory environments. Built to manage complex operations, it features a reset button and a visible status display for rapid diagnostics. The module’s robust construction and efficient design ensure reliable service in production lines, material handling, and robotics.
Detailed technical specifications define the ECCP40-0’s capabilities. The device supports 7168 registers capacity divided into 7148 remnant and 20 non-remnant registers, accompanied by 800 flags (300 remnant, 500 non-remnant). It provides 1536 digital I/O and 256 analog I/O channels for extensive connectivity. Timing functions are handled by 512 hardware timers and 64 software timers, with cycle intervals of 10 ms, 100 ms, 1 s, and 10 s. Data retention and program storage rely on an externally pluggable EE32 memory card. Serial communication is facilitated via an online TTY interface at 62.5 kBaud. Power requirements are minimized to 5 W at +8 V, optimizing energy consumption in distributed automation systems.
Operational features emphasize performance, diagnostics, and maintenance. The module incorporates a volatile software clock for time and date stamping of events. A front-mounted programming LED and multiple status LEDs provide immediate visual indicators of module health and I/O activity. A dedicated reset button enables rapid recovery from fault conditions without interrupting the overall system. The ECCP40-0’s protection rating of IP40 safeguards internal electronics from particulate ingress. Life expectancy exceeds Over 10 million cycles, ensuring extended service intervals and reduced downtime.
System integration is streamlined through standardized connectors and B & R’s development environment. The ECCP40-0 interfaces seamlessly with servomotors or stepper drives using the Motor Option Servomotor/Stepper configuration, and supports mounting in both Horizontal/Vertical orientations. Designed for electric cylinder control, it harnesses Maximum Stroke 300 mm, Maximum Load 1200 N, and Repeating Positioning Accuracy ±0.02 mm when paired with compatible actuators. Target applications include packaging machines, assembly lines, and pick-and-place systems where precision, compactness, and reliable integration are critical.
