B&R 3IF260.60-1 CPU Module – Programmable Interface Processor

The 3IF260.60-1 is a CPU module from the B&R SYSTEM 2005 series, designed to function either as a central processing unit or as a programmable interface processor. When installed in slot 3, it operates as a CPU module; in other slots, it serves as an interface processor to offload communication tasks from the main CPU . This dual-mode capability makes it highly versatile for industrial automation applications requiring flexible system integration.
