Product Description

The X20BC0073 is a CAN I/O slave bus controller that has been developed for use in industrial automation and control systems. The following are some of the features that this module has to ensure that it meets the needed performance in various applications.

At its heart is a 5-pin male multipoint connector which provides reliable and stable connections. It offers a transfer rate of up to 1 Mbit/s and can work in auto-negotiation mode or set a fixed rate to suit different networks. Energy efficiency is also a major feature of the X20BC0073, the device has a bus power consumption of only 1.5W, making it appropriate to use for continuous working without the need to recharge frequently. Fieldbus isolation is also incorporated to prevent electrical noise which is crucial in improving the reliability and safety of the module. The module offers a full set of status indicators such as LED for module status, bus function, data transfer, and the availability of a terminating resistor. These indicators make it very simple to monitor and troubleshoot the system and this makes it very easy to deal with any problem that may arise. The X2X Link cycle time is fixed at 1 ms to ensure that data is processed efficiently and promptly.

It has an IP20 rating, which means it is protected from solids but not liquids, therefore suitable for indoor use in areas prone to dust but not moisture. The operating temperature ranges are quite broad, being -25 to 60 degrees C for horizontal arrangements and -25 to 50 degrees C for vertical ones, thus providing a certain degree of operational versatility. The non-operating temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees C means that the module is protected against harsh conditions when idle. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
