Product Description

The 7EX484.50-1 enables real-time industrial communication via four isolated POWERLINK interfaces. With high-speed redundant ring topology supporting over 700 nodes, it meets demanding performance requirements for motion control and factory automation. The 24VDC supply powers robust bus controller functionality across extended temperature conditions. Leveraging the open POWERLINK protocol, the 7EX484.50-1 integrates machine operation and drives by managing communication between PLC, HMI, servo drives, I/O modules and sensors. Galvanic isolation on each port prevents ground currents and electrical noise from interrupting transfers for precision control.

Built-in configuration memory simplifies commissioning distributed systems. Just plug the module into a B&R X20 or X67 rack then configure nodes, alarms and more through the integrated web server. Integrated LEDs independently indicate the communication status of each port. Rugged construction withstands shock, vibration and extreme industrial environments while taking up minimal space. An aluminum housing effectively dissipates heat during sustained information exchange supporting cycle times under 100 1/4s.

With support for cable lengths over 100 meters, the 7EX484.50-1 flexibly links equipment within large facilities. It handles different topologies like line, star and tree for organizing complex installations. Hot swapping allows replacing nodes without halting entire processes. Whether coordinating drives, collecting diagnostics or acquiring input data, the 7EX484.50-1 provides deterministic performance. Control tasks execute reliably according to schedule while faults trigger quick reactions to avoid downtime. With robust galvanic isolation, efficient heat dissipation and flexible topology arrangements, the industrial-grade 7EX484.50-1 meets the connectivity demands of high-performance automation systems.
