Product Description

The X20BC0087 is a Modbus TCP/UDP slave unit that is intended to improve the performance of industrial communication networks. This module is fitted with two shielded RJ45 connectors that act as a switch and allow for the 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX physical layer, thus allowing for flexibility in network design.

The module enables a maximum cable distance of 100 meters between two stations, enabling complex networks in large industrial settings. This module has a transfer rate of 10/100 Mbit/s and is capable of working in half-duplex and full-duplex modes, which ensures smooth control over the network traffic. Auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX features help in the configuration and management of the network by automatically adjusting connection parameters and avoiding incorrect wiring. Power consumption is low at 2W thus making the module to be power conscious even when it is in use continuously. The diagnostic aspects are well-developed providing the status of the module and the bus function through LED lights and software. This dual feedback mechanism is important as it assists in identifying problems and the state of the system in real time. The X20BC0087 is designed to be highly safe for use in hazardous locations and is certified to Class I, Division 2, Groups ABCD, T5. It also meets the ATEX Zone 2, II 3G Ex nA nC IIA T5 Gc standards, which means it can be used in hazardous locations.

The module has an operating temperature of up to 60 degrees C and possesses an IP20 rating; this makes it suitable for use in different industrial areas where dust is a challenge but water is not a threat. The X20BC0087 is a dependable Modbus communication solution for industrial applications since it offers a high transfer rate with enhanced safety and diagnostics mechanisms. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
