Main Features and Advantages
The ABB B&R 7CP570.60-1 occupies a unique position in the industrial CPU landscape, combining PC-class x86 processing with the determinism and ruggedness of a programmable logic controller. Its Celeron 300 processor with integrated floating-point unit executes complex mathematical routines—PID cascades, motion trajectories, filter algorithms, and data analytics—at a typical instruction cycle of 0.018 µs, giving control engineers headroom for computationally intensive tasks that would overwhelm conventional 8-bit or 16-bit PLC CPUs.
Computing power for demanding applications:
The ABB B&R 7CP570.60-1 is specifically engineered for those automation scenarios where lower cycle times are required, very large amounts of data must be processed, or floating-point arithmetic is essential. With 64 MB SDRAM and 496 KB SRAM, the module hosts substantial user programs, recipe databases, and historical buffers entirely in onboard memory. The integrated I/O processor handles background data exchange with peripheral modules, freeing the main CPU to focus on control logic and computation. A 128 KB L2 cache and 2 × 16 KB L1 cache minimize memory latency, sustaining deterministic performance even under heavy multi-task loads.
Flexible, scalable memory architecture:
Unlike fixed-memory PLCs, the ABB B&R 7CP570.60-1 employs a CompactFlash slot as its program and application memory, accepting CF cards from 32 MB to 2 GB. This means the same CPU hardware can serve a modest machine controller with a 32 MB card or a data-intensive process automation node with a 2 GB card—simply by swapping the CF module. The removable nature of CompactFlash also transforms backup and disaster recovery: a single golden master card can be cloned and kept on the shelf, enabling instant restoration of a failed controller by physical media swap. The 32 KB remanent variable area, buffered by an included lithium battery with at least 3-year service life and active battery monitoring, guarantees that critical setpoints and process state survive power interruptions.
