Bachmann MP226/EW CPU Processor

Bachmann MP226/EW CPU Processor – Product Overview and Technical Specifications

The Bachmann MP226/EW CPU Processor is a high‑performance controller designed for demanding automation tasks in industrial environments. It features a 1 GHz 64‑bit ARM processor with 1 GB of DDR3 memory and 512 MB of non‑volatile flash storage for operating system and application data. The unit supports watchdog‑protected real‑time operation, ensuring that critical control loops run without interruption. It offers dual Gigabit Ethernet ports with auto‑MDI/MDIX, two USB 2.0 ports for local diagnostics or USB storage, and a service port for local serial access. The processor board measures 140 mm × 100 mm × 22 mm and mounts on a standard 35 mm DIN rail using the integrated clip system. Power is supplied from 24 V DC with typical consumption under 10 W. All I/O and network connectors use locking screw terminals to ensure secure connections even under shock or vibration. The firmware boots in under 5 s and hands over control to the configured automation application without further delay.

The MP226/EW supports multiple communication protocols to integrate seamlessly into existing networks. It runs an embedded Linux real‑time kernel and includes built‑in libraries for OPC UA, Modbus TCP, EtherCAT, and PROFINET. Users can develop applications in C/C++ or use the Bachmann softPLC environment with IEC 61131‑3 languages such as Ladder, Structured Text, or Function Block Diagram. The board’s on‑board flash stores up to five firmware versions, allowing easy rollback in case of update issues. Built‑in self‑test routines check memory integrity, clock accuracy, and network link health on every startup. LEDs on the front panel indicate power status, CPU run mode, and network link/activity for both Ethernet ports. The processor operates reliably from –20 °C to +60 °C, with vibration resistance up to 3 g (10–150 Hz) and shock tolerance of 15 g for 11 ms pulses. Conformal coating on the PCB provides protection against dust and moisture, meeting an IP20 rating.

As factories embrace Industry 4.0 and edge computing, demand for CPU modules that combine real‑time control with IT‑grade security grows rapidly. A recent industry survey shows that the market for edge‑capable controllers is expanding at over 15 percent annually. Companies that deploy such modules report a 20 percent increase in production uptime thanks to faster fault detection and remote diagnostics. The MP226/EW’s support for secure protocols and local data logging makes it ideal for predictive maintenance schemes.
