Product Description
The X20BC0043 is an effective CANopen bus controller that is suitable for use in various industrial applications that require efficient network operations. This module allows for the connection of up to 253 I/O nodes making it ideal for use in large systems that require numerous I/O points.
The maximum allowable distance between these nodes is 100 meters, which allows for system layout and expansion. Another interesting aspect of the X20BC0043 is its ability to accommodate several types of transmissions including synchronous, event, and polling. This flexibility enables communication plans to be designed to meet certain operational needs thus increasing system flexibility and effectiveness. It also supports up to 32 receive (Rx) and 32 transmit (Tx) PDOs (Process Data Objects) for efficient data management. I/O cycle times are programmable and can be set to as low as 0. 5 to 4 ms, thus enabling fine-tuning of communication intervals and system timing, critical for coordinated activities. The transfer rate is very high at 1 Mbit/s and there are two modes degrees CE" automatic and fixed. This capability for high data transfer rates is important for high-performance applications that require frequent and fast data exchange. The power consumption of the bus is 2W which is quite low for the number of features that are available on the bus. The operating temperature of the module is from -25 to 60 degrees C when mounted horizontally and from -25 to 50 degrees C when mounted vertically.
It also has storage temperatures that are quite stable ranging between -40 to 85 degrees Celsius thus increasing the flexibility in handling and storage. The protection class of the module is IP20 which means that it is protected from any solid objects but not from liquids which is suitable for indoor use only. Further, it supports auto-negotiation of transfer rate and also has an option for fixed settings that enable the switch to be suited to various network conditions and usage requirements. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
