X20 (C) CP041x, X20CP0420 and X20CP048x: 1 General Information
1 General information
The CPUs in the X20 Compact-S family are available in different variants. This way, customers get the product that
best meets the requirements of the machine – technically and economically.
The processor performance of the compact CPUs ranges from 166 MHz (compatible) to 667 MHz. The most
economical variant is equipped with 128 MB RAM, 8 kB nonvolatile RAM and a 256 MB flash drive. The most
powerful variant of the Compact-S CPUs achieves cycle times up to 400 µs. It is equipped with 512 MB RAM,
64 kB nonvolatile RAM and a 2 GB internal flash drive.
With POWERLINK, Ethernet, USB and RS232, the CPUs offer a wide range of communication options. An optional
CAN interface is also available. If the application requires additional interfaces, the CPU can be modularly expanded
by one or two X20 interface slots. This allows the entire product range of X20 fieldbus interfaces to be used.
The fanless, battery-free design of Compact-S CPUs means they are completely maintenance-free.
• ARM Cortex-A9 processor with 166 MHz (compatible) to 667 MHz and integrated I/O processor
• Depending on the variant: POWERLINK with poll-response chaining
• 2x onboard USB
• Up to 2 slots for modular interface expansions
• 128 to 512 MB DDR3 SDRAM
• 256 MB to 2 GB onboard flash drive
• Fanless
• No battery
• Extremely compact
2 Coated modules
Coated modules are X20 modules with a protective coating for the electronics component. This coating protects
X20c modules from condensation and corrosive gases.
The modules' electronics are fully compatible with the corresponding X20 modules.
For simplification purposes, only images and module IDs of uncoated modules are used in this data
sheet.
The coating has been certified according to the following standards:
• Condensation: BMW GS 95011-4, 2x 1 cycle
• Corrosive gas: EN 60068-2-60, method 4, exposure 21 days

Green Red Description
Off On The interface is in error mode (failed Ethernet frames, increased number of collisions on the network, etc.).
Note:
Several red blinking signals are displayed immediately after the device is switched on. These are not errors, however.
Blinking On If an error occurs in the following modes, then the green LED blinks over the red LED:
• PRE_OPERATIONAL_1

6.2.1 Reset
The button must be pressed for less than 2 seconds to trigger a reset. This triggers a hardware reset on the CPU,
which means that:
• All application programs are stopped.
• All outputs are set to zero.
The controller then boots into service mode by default. The startup mode after pressing the reset button can be
set in Automation Studio:
• Service mode (default)
• Warm restart
• Cold restart
• Diagnostic mode
1) The operating states are described in "Real-time operating system - Method of operation - Operating states" in Automation Help.
The non-galvanically isolated RS232 interface is designed as an online interface for communication with the pro-
gramming device. The terminal connections for the signals are located on the power supply module.

General information
IF2 is a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface.
The INA2000 station number is set using the B&R Automation Studio software.
For information about wiring X20 modules with an Ethernet interface, see section "Mechanical and electrical con-
figuration - Wiring guidelines for X20 modules with Ethernet cables" in the X20 user's manual.
Information:
The Ethernet interface is not suitable for POWERLINK.
When using the POWERLINK interface, the Ethernet interface is not permitted to be operated with an
IP address from the POWERLINK address range.
POWERLINK address range: 192.168.100.x
X20CP0420
The interface is equipped with 2 female RJ45 connections. Both connections result in an integrated switch. This
makes daisy-chain wiring easy.
The X20CP0420 supports half-duplex and full-duplex communication. Mixed operation is not possible. Both con-
nections must be operated in either half-duplex or full-duplex communication mode.

POWERLINK
By default, the POWERLINK interface is operated as a managing node (MN). In the managing node, the node
number is set to a fixed value of 240.
If the POWERLINK node is operated as a controlled node (CN), a node number from 1 to 239 can be set in the
POWERLINK configuration in Automation Studio.
Ethernet mode
In this mode, the interface is operated as an Ethernet interface. The INA2000 station number is set using the B&R
Automation Studio software.

IF4 and IF5 are non-galvanically isolated USB interfaces. The abbreviation USB stands for "Universal Serial Bus".
Both USB interfaces support the USB 1.1 and 2.0 standards.
Information:
USB peripheral devices can be connected to the USB interfaces. Due to the variety of USB devices
available on the market, B&R cannot guarantee their functionality. The functionality of USB devices
available from B&R is ensured.
Information:
• The USB interfaces cannot be used as online communication interfaces.
• Only devices isolated from GND are permitted to be connected to the USB interfaces.
• Current-carrying capacity is listed in the technical data.
When used with bus base X20BB57, X20BB67 or X20BB77, the CPUs have access to a CAN bus interface. The
terminal connections for the signals are located on the power supply module.

Some X20 interface modules must have a certain minimum firmware version or minimum upgrade version for
operation with an X20CP048x, but these are not included in the Automation Studio 4.3.3 release. A hardware
upgrade may be necessary. This can be installed from Automation Studio by selecting Tools / Upgrades from
the menu.
The following table contains a corresponding overview of affected interface modules. No special requirements
apply to all other interface modules:

The CPUs do not use a battery. This makes them completely maintenance-free. Eliminating the backup battery
was made possible by the following measures:
Data and real-time clock retention Backup type Note
Remanent variables FRAM This FRAM stores its contents ferroelectrically. Unlike normal SRAM, this does
not require a battery.
Real-time clock Gold foil capacitor The real-time clock is backed up for approx. 1000 hours by a gold foil capacitor.
The gold foil capacitor is completely charged after 3 continuous hours of oper-
ation.
7 Overtemperature shutdown
To prevent damage, the CPU is shut down / reset at the following board temperature:
• X20CP041x and X20CP0420: 95°C
• X20CP048x: 105°C
The following errors are entered in the logbook in the event of shutdown:
Error number Short error text
9204 PLC restart triggered by the PLC CPU's temperature monitoring.
9210 Warning: Halt/Service after watchdog or manual reset.
