Product Description

The MC212 is a high-tier computational module within the Bachmann M1 automation family. Leveraging Intel ATOM technology, it delivers deterministic performance for complex control logic and data-intensive applications. With substantial memory headroom, high-speed gigabit connectivity, and integrated synchronization pulses for fieldbus systems, the MC212 ensures maximum system availability and precise coordination of distributed I/O and motion control tasks.

Advanced Synchronization & Control

  • Generates hardware-based synchronization pulses across the M1 backplane, critical for jitter-free communication with SERCOS, CAN, and Ethernet motion profiles.

  • Supports IEEE1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to unify timebases across distributed nodes.

  • Ideal for high-speed packaging lines and synchronized energy grid management.

Module Comparison

  • MC212 vs MX/MX200/CPC200 Series:

    • Provides higher processing power (1.6 GHz) and RAM (1 GB DDR2).

    • Supports local database handling, complex mathematical modeling, and web-based visualization hosting directly on the controller.

    • Designed for applications exceeding the computational limits of standard MX200 or CPC200 modules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the CFast card included with the module?
A: No. CFast cards are ordered separately to match application-specific storage needs. The MC212 supports any industrial-grade card exceeding 8 GB.

Q: Can the serial ports be used for third-party protocol integration?
A: Yes. The RS232/422/485 interfaces are fully configurable via Bachmann C/C++ or PLC runtime environments for custom protocol implementations.
