Metso D201380 CPU / Processor Module
The Metso D201380 (often identified with the model code MBR) is a high-performance CPU / Processor Module belonging to the ACN (Automation Cloud Node) platform of the Metso DNA (now Valmet DNA) Distributed Control System.
It is a modern, high-tier controller designed for complex automation tasks and high-speed data processing.
1. Introduction
The D201380 MBR functions as a Master Control Node or Real-Time Node within the Valmet DNA environment.
It is the “brain” of the control cabinet, responsible for executing control logic, processing I/O data, and communicating with the wider DCS network.
This module is specifically noted for its high-speed processing capabilities and is typically used in the ACN RT (Real-Time) and ACN MR (Master Redundant) configurations.

Chemical Refining: Executing complex PID and sequence control in hazardous or demanding environments.
5. Product Advantages and Features
High Processing Density: Capable of executing thousands of function blocks in very short scan cycles (10 ms – 20 ms).
Cybersecurity Hardened: Features an industrial-grade operating system designed to meet modern security standards (IEC 62443).
Robust Fanless Design: Uses advanced heat dissipation techniques to avoid mechanical fans, increasing reliability in dusty or vibrating industrial settings.
Master Redundancy: Fully supports 1:1 hot-standby redundancy, allowing for “bumpless” transfer of control in the event of a hardware failure.
Hot-Swap Support: The module can be replaced while the rack is powered (in redundant setups) without stopping the process.
