X20DS1828

Product Description

This X20DS1828 I/O module by B&R Automation is an up-to-date solution built for precise encoder interfacing and monitoring by featuring a single HIPERFACE interface. B&Rfocuses on offering integrated automation solutions which combine hardware and software to provide seamless control and monitoring of industrial processes.

This X20DS1828 I/O module from X20 series integrates for providing suitable control over external axes and third-party motor encoders. It is manufactured with comprehensive diagnostic capabilities by including LED status indicators for module operation, error detection, and counting direction. This ensures that operators are well-informed about the module's operating state and any potential issues. Power consumption is kept minimal, with the bus consuming a mere 0.01 W and internal I/O at 1.3 W. The module supports shielded signal lines to ensure that external noise does not interfere with the high-precision signal transmission. It is remarkably certified for dangerous locations by including ATEX Zone 2 and Class I making it suitable for deployment in environments with protection requirements. It offers 13-bit angular position resolution with a 1 VSS signal for accurate position feedback. The encoder inputs are designed to handle differential signals with frequencies ranging from DC up to 200 kHz by accommodating a broad range of control signals.

The X20 module's encoder power supply delivers a stable 11 V output with a load capacity of 150 mA which is protected against short circuits and high currents. Electrical isolation between the channel and bus enhances safety and reliability while the module's operating conditions allow for both horizontal and vertical orientations of mounting. With a suitable IP20 protection and the ability to function in humid conditions this X20DS1828 I/O module is built to withstand the challenges of industrial automation and control system areas.
