Product Description

The 7EX47050 is a high-performance CAN bus controller engineered for industrial automation and process management applications. Released in 2003, the reliable module complies with CAN 2.0 A/B for interfacing devices. At the core lie two galvanically isolated CAN channels. This allows complex installations to dedicate a bus for discrete tasks, expand capacity and also introduce redundancy for resilience against faults. Electrical isolation protects equipment from field voltage surges.

Leveraging 16 years of field-proven operation, the capable 7EX47050 functions as a bus controller for managing network traffic. This facilitates prioritized data exchange between multiple sensors, drives, PLCs and HMIs for synchronized responses. The space-saving module mounts conveniently onto B&R X20 and X67 backplane racks using included hardware. Integrated diagnostic LEDs externally indicate powered status and communication errors, allowing rapid troubleshooting.

Despite its longevity, the 7EX47050 delivers contemporary functionality like bus diagnostics as well as network management. The dual-channel density in a compact PLC form encapsulates essential capabilities to reduce costs and complexity for users. Built to excel in challenging operating environments, the durable 7EX47050 withstands electrical noise, shock, extreme temperatures and contamination. Meeting CE and UL safety standards, the controller qualifies for low voltage applications worldwide.
