SCHLEICHER XCX300 XCN300E – High-Performance PLC CPU Module | XCx300 Series Platform
Engineering Background
SCHLEICHER Electronic GmbH, headquartered in Germany, has been a specialist in programmable logic controllers and motion control systems for industrial automation since the 1970s. The XCx300 platform represents the company’s flagship modular PLC architecture, engineered for demanding process control, machine automation, and safety-critical applications across European and global industrial markets.
Product Positioning
The XCX300 XCN300E is the central processing unit of the XCx300 modular PLC system. It serves as the program execution core, coordinating I/O expansion, fieldbus communication, and real-time deterministic control for complex multi-axis and multi-loop automation architectures. This module is the authoritative choice for OEM machine builders and system integrators requiring a proven, IEC 61131-3 compliant controller with long-term parts availability.

Engineering Advantages
- Deterministic Real-Time Execution: Hard real-time kernel ensures consistent scan-cycle performance critical for motion-synchronized I/O.
- Modular Scalability: Seamlessly expands with XCx300-series digital, analog, and specialty I/O modules on the same backplane.
- Multi-Fieldbus Support: Native PROFIBUS-DP master/slave and CANopen integration eliminates the need for external gateway hardware.
- IEC 61131-3 Compliance: Full five-language programming support enables rapid migration from other IEC-compliant platforms.
- Long-Term Availability: Konmask.com maintains verified OEM stock to support ongoing production and MRO requirements.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The XCN300E CPU occupies the leftmost slot of the XCx300 rack. Program execution and I/O scanning occur over the proprietary high-speed backplane bus, with cycle times configurable in the programming environment. Fieldbus master functions (PROFIBUS-DP, CANopen) are handled internally by the CPU’s integrated communication processors, offloading the main application CPU and maintaining deterministic I/O response. Ethernet connectivity (where fitted) supports remote programming, diagnostics, and SCADA integration via standard TCP/IP protocols.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the XCN300E backward-compatible with earlier XCx300 racks?
A: Yes. The XCN300E is designed for the XCx300 backplane and is compatible with existing XCx300-series I/O and communication modules. Confirm firmware compatibility with your system integrator for mixed-generation racks.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: SCHLEICHER’s proprietary XCx300 programming environment (based on IEC 61131-3) is required. Contact Konmask for software sourcing guidance.
Q: Can this CPU be used as a PROFIBUS-DP master?
A: Yes. The XCN300E supports PROFIBUS-DP master operation natively, enabling direct connection to distributed I/O, drives, and third-party field devices.
Q: What is the warranty policy?
A: Konmask.com provides a 90-day functional warranty on all verified OEM modules. Extended warranty and exchange programs are available — contact us for details.
