Equipped with an Intel Core i7 2715QE quad-core processor running at a 2.1 GHz clock frequency, this controller delivers the robust computational capacity required for complex PLC, Motion Control, and industrial visualization applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis controller incorporates a high-density hardware architecture featuring 4 GB of non-expandable DDR3 RAM and 128 kB of integrated, non-volatile NOVRAM for reliable persistent data storage. Built-in physical interfaces include two independent Gigabit Ethernet ports, one DVI-I graphic connection, and four USB 2.0 ports. A slot for an optional communication interface allows integration with different fieldbus protocols and networking architectures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSystem expansion and I\/O integration are executed via a matching CX2100 power supply module, enabling automatic bus recognition for both E-bus (EtherCAT Terminals) and K-bus (Bus Terminals). An active cooling system with an integrated, monitored ball-bearing fan ensures stable thermal performance across a wide operating temperature range from -25 to +60
