Product Description

The X20DC2398 digital counter module is manufactured by B&R Automation. The model is a versatile and robust component designed for industrial automation applications. It is specifically engineered to handle various counting tasks with high precision and reliability. The module is widely used in industries where accurate digital counting is critical, such as manufacturing, packaging, and process automation.

This digital counter module X20DC2398 operates on a 24 VDC input voltage. It features an SSI absolute encoder input with a maximum transfer rate of 125 kbit/s and a supporting 32-bit counter size. It offers reliable performance with asymmetrical encoder inputs. The power consumption is kept minimal with 0.01 W on the bus and 1.4 W for internal I/O operations. The module also supports diagnostic functions using LED indicators and software. It includes robust electrical isolation between the bus and the encoder, though the channel is not isolated from the encoder. The module is designed to be installed at elevations up to 2000 meters without limitations, with a reduction in ambient temperature for higher elevations.

The X20DC2398 features a pitch of 12.5 mm and requires additional components like the X20TB12 terminal block and X20BM11 bus module for full functionality. These components must be ordered separately. The switching threshold levels are set at <5 VDC for low and >15 VDC for high. The connection type is 3-wire with an input resistance of 7.19 k?. The input circuit is of the sink type that draws approximately 3.3 mA at 24 VDC. The digital inputs are compliant with EN 61131-2 standards. For optimal performance, it is essential that the model be both installed and operated by a highly trained technician. The technician's expertise ensures that every component is correctly configured and calibrated.
