Product Description
The MX220 (Order Number: 00010464-00) is a high-tier central processing unit (CPU) for the Bachmann M1 automation platform, serving as the intelligence hub for complex control systems. Engineered for mid-to-high level automation tasks, the MX220 balances high-speed computation with extreme thermal efficiency in a fanless, maintenance-free industrial housing.
Designed for applications requiring complex math operations, high-speed logic execution, and multi-protocol communication, the MX220 features a deterministic real-time architecture ensuring consistent cycle times even under heavy processing loads. Integrated non-volatile memory protects critical data, while high-speed RAM supports demanding runtime tasks. Dual Ethernet ports provide network redundancy or separation of process and plant networks, making the module ideal for wind power, maritime, and industrial automation applications.

Technical FAQ
Q: How does the MX220 handle data during a sudden power loss?
A: Critical system parameters are stored in battery-free nvRAM, while process-active variables reside in battery-backed SRAM. This ensures immediate resumption of operations upon power restoration.
Q: What is the significance of the two independent Ethernet ports?
A: The dual ports allow physical separation of network traffic. For instance, Port 1 can run a secure high-speed I/O network (e.g., Profinet or EtherCAT), while Port 2 handles general plant monitoring and remote access, reducing congestion and improving security.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
