FAQ

Q: What is the difference between X20CP1586 and X20CP1583?
A: X20CP1583 is Atom 333MHz low-spec version; X20CP1586 is 1.6GHz higher performance, suitable for high-speed motion and heavy floating-point calculation.

Q: Does POWERLINK support PRC mode?
A: Yes, onboard POWERLINK supports Poll Response Chaining, which improves real-time cycle performance for multi-axis motion.

Q: Can it run without CompactFlash?
A: No, the application program and runtime are stored on CompactFlash; CF card is required for normal startup.
