bachmann MX207 CPU Module

Product Detailed Description

• Functionality: The MX207 serves as the brain of a Bachmann M1 automation system for compact applications. It executes control programs, manages I/O modules, processes data, and handles communication with other devices and systems. It supports real-time multi-tasking, allowing different programs to run in parallel.

• Architecture: It's based on PC technology, optimized for industrial control. It uses a single-core processor and is integrated into Bachmann's modular M1 system, meaning it can be combined with various I/O and communication modules to create a complete control solution.

• Integrated Interfaces: A key feature of the MX207 is its integrated communication interfaces, reducing the need for additional modules and simplifying system design. These include:

• Ethernet (Eth100): For network communication, PLC-to-PLC communication, and HMI integration.

• CAN/CANopen: For fieldbus communication with devices like drives, sensors, and actuators.

• RS232/422/485: Versatile serial communication for various protocols and devices.

• USB 2.0: For connecting external devices or for service and data transfer.

• Memory: The module comes with a specific configuration of RAM (DRAM), non-volatile RAM (nvRAM), and internal file-flash memory for program storage and data retention. The nvRAM is particularly important as it provides secure data storage for over 10 years without a battery backup.

• Robust Design: The MX207 is built to operate reliably in challenging industrial environments. Its generous thermal design and special coating processes allow for fanless operation in a wide temperature range, and it can withstand high humidity.

• Software Integration: It operates with Bachmann's M-BASE V3.80 or higher software, providing a powerful environment for programming, configuration, and diagnostics.

• Scalability: Applications can be easily transferred to more powerful Bachmann CPU models within the M1 system if future performance upgrades are needed.

• Reliability: Bachmann hardware is renowned for its high quality and system availability, often exceeding 99.9%.

Precautions

• Correct Installation: Adhere strictly to Bachmann's installation guidelines, ensuring proper mounting, grounding, and wiring within the M1 system.

• Power Supply: Ensure the I/O supply and system power are within the specified voltage and current limits.

• Environmental Limits: Operate the module within its specified temperature and humidity ranges to guarantee long-term reliability. While robust, avoid direct exposure to corrosive substances or excessive vibration beyond specified limits.

• Software Compatibility: Use the correct version of Bachmann's engineering software (M-BASE V3.80 or higher, with SolutionCenter) for configuration, programming, and diagnostics to ensure proper functionality and avoid compatibility issues.

• Firmware Updates: Regularly check for and apply recommended firmware updates from Bachmann to ensure optimal performance, security, and bug fixes.

• Security: As with any networked industrial controller, implement strong cybersecurity practices. Bachmann recommends using Security Level 4, which limits communication to TLS-protected services and disables insecure services, and changing default usernames/passwords. Restrict physical access to the device.

• Modular System Awareness: Understand that the MX207 is part of a modular system. Its full functionality depends on being correctly integrated with other Bachmann M1 I/O and communication modules.
