The X20CP1583 is the entry-level Atom-based X20 CPU. Even the smallest CPU is equipped with 128 MB DDR2 SDRAM. With an optimum price/performance ratio, it has the same features as all of the larger CPUs.
USB, Ethernet, POWERLINK and removable CompactFlash are all included as standard features. The standard Ethernet interface is capable of handling communication in the gigabit range. For even more real-time network performance, the onboard POWERLINK interface supports poll response chaining mode (PRC).
The CPU has a slot available for X20 communication modules. Various bus and network systems can easily be integrated into the X20 system through the use of communication modules.
