Product Description

The part number 3EX150. 60 is a Remote I/O Master module from the industry-leading B&R which is suitable for several industrial automation systems. Located in the B&R System 2005, this module enables the system to have strong and reliable communication and control for vast industrial applications.

The 3EX150. 60 possesses an electrically isolated RS485 interface and has the possibility of various baud rates from 100 kBit/s to 2000 kBit/s. Due to the wide range, it provides a reliable and efficient data transfer over long distances with a maximum transmission distance of 1200 meters at lower baud rates and up to 100 meters at the highest baud rate. It is possible to manage 31 remote slaves without the use of repeaters, which makes it perfect for big industrial facilities. The module's power consumption is limited to 5. 5 W, energy consumption, and stable performance in the long-term use. Due to its size, it can be easily mounted in main racks, which creates a clear and neat layout of the control system. The module also has RUN, ERROR, Tx, and Rx LEDs which help in providing information on the status of the module and thus help in the diagnostics of the module and enable quick troubleshooting hence reducing the downtime in industrial applications. It also has a number switch for setting the slave address and Baud rate which makes the configuration and installation less complicated. The RS485 interface is provided with a 9-pin DSUB for communication, and electrical isolation to increase the safety and prevent any interference. The interface's pinouts are the shield, data, transmitting enable, ground, and isolated power supply; thus, suitable for usage in many industrial scenarios.

The module's design also includes provisions for the external terminating resistor, thus providing stable and flawless communication over long distances. The 3EX150. 60 Remote I/O Master module is characterized by high reliability, increased productivity, and high-strength work in industrial automation systems. Thus, the given controller has all the advanced features that any engineer would want to have especially when designing a control system. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
