Product Description

The 8AC114.60-2/PL3 is an advanced ACOPOS plug-in module designed by B&R to facilitate robust and efficient communication within ACOPOS servo drive systems. This module features a POWERLINK V2 interface that supports complex and time-sensitive applications by ensuring seamless connectivity and data transfer. It is equipped with an integrated 2-port hub to streamline wiring and reduce installation complexity, making it ideal for sophisticated industrial setups. The module supports a transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s and includes 2x RJ45 ports for reliable network connections. Additionally, it is designed with status indicators, including a Status LED and 2x Link LEDs, which provide clear visual feedback on the network status and connectivity.

The 8AC114.60-2/PL3 module allows for flexible network topologies, supporting both star and tree configurations with up to 10 hub levels. This design flexibility enables effective network organization and management in extensive systems. With a maximum segment length of 100 m between stations, it ensures that even large installations can maintain high performance and reliability. The module is also network-capable and includes electrical isolation to protect against potential electrical disturbances. Despite its advanced features, the module has a low power consumption of max. 3 W, making it an efficient choice for various industrial applications.

Configurable node numbers using a switch enhance the module's adaptability to different network setups. However, it does not support Dynamic Node Allocation (DNA), which is a consideration for specific network configurations. The 8AC114.60-2/PL3 is a crucial component for enhancing communication and configuration within ACOPOS servo drives, providing a reliable and efficient solution for managing complex automation tasks. With its easy installation, clear status indicators, and robust performance specifications, this module is an excellent choice for demanding industrial environments.
