Product Description

The 7EX290.50-1 is a specialized bus controller module enabling X2X industrial network connectivity in automation architectures. Released in 2003, it brings a proven, lightweight but rugged design meeting global regulatory standards. At the core lies a dedicated X2X Link controller chip supporting the X2X real-time industrial control bus protocol. This provides a reliable, isolated communication interface between PLCs, HMI panels, servo drives, and I/O. Fast, deterministic data exchange optimizes motion control and sequencing tasks.

Built to perform in industrial settings, the 7EX290.50-1 has a wide 10 to 30 VDC operating range. Power consumption is an efficient 3.2 Watts. It withstands vibrations, shock, and extreme temperatures from -25 to 60 degrees C while taking up minimal space. The compact plastic housing measures just 1.0 x 3.0 x 5.0 inches and weighs 0.2 kg. It mounts securely onto 35mm DIN rails to conserve panel space. Removable screw terminals enable simplified field wiring and servicing. Meeting European and international standards, the 7EX290.50-1 carries CE, UKCA, and cULus markings for the US and Canada. It satisfies rigid EMC and emissions requirements for trouble-free line-side placement.

Diagnostic LED indicators help technicians rapidly identify communications status and module power. Generous MTBF rates ensure reliability. The bus controller is hot swappable, reducing downtime related to field maintenance and upgrades. Machine builders, plant engineers, and system integrators trust the proven 7EX290.50-1 bus controller to enable X2X connectivity and deterministic data flows in custom automation projects. It brings versatility in a compact yet highly durable and standards-compliant package.
