The PCD3.M6880 Standby Controllers are for creating redundant automation solutions, to ensure the uninterrupted operation of systems and processes.
For BCU1 protocol not all communication interfaces of a PCD3 or a PCD2.M5540 can be used. On the other hand there is no problem using the newer FT1.2 protocol which is supported by all RS232 interfaces of the PCD3 and the PCD2.M5540.

There is a difference in the "SBC Format" between "old" xx7 CPU's (PCD2.M127, 157, 177) and Saia PCD® COSinus based CPUs (PCD3, PCD2.M5xxx7 and PCD2.M487). The way to read analogue values from PCD2/3.W2xx and PCD2/3.W100, W3x0, W500 in the "SBC-Format" is not the same.
In PG5 1.4.300 the new DP Master CPU without ethernet is not available, just the PCD3.M6540 can be selected
The XOB 8 who is called when the firmware detects an invalid instruction (Invalid OPC) in the user program is no longer called on the systems Saia PCD® COSinus (PCD3, PCD2.M5, PCD2.M480).
