Product Description

The B & R Automation X20IF1041-1 is a fieldbus module, part of the versatile X20 Series. Suitable for use in industrial automation, this module becomes the CANopen Master to ensure proper communication in the controlling network. The device they have developed only requires a power consumption of 1.1 watts making and or participating in efforts that lead to decreased expenses in automation systems.

With the SDRAM memory of 8 MB it is designed to solve a wide range of data processing tasks. This memory capacity provides many operations and applications involving high-speed and dependable data transfers, suitable for complicated automation processes. The X20IF1041-1 can work within the horizontal temperature of -25 degrees C to 60 degrees C and the vertical temperature of -25 degrees C to 50 degrees C, thus can work well under different environments. In terms of storage, the module can be operated under -40 degrees C to 85 degrees C. Also, it has an IP20 environmental protection rating making it ideal for use in areas where it is not exposed to dust or water.

The module includes status LED for module status, network status, data transfer and terminating resistor, allowing module diagnosis and monitoring of the operational status. These indicators are helpful in the identification of problems and can very quickly help identify the problem in the fieldbus network. In the aspect of connectivity, the X20IF1041-1 has a maximum transfer rate of 1 Mbit/s necessary in time-sensitive applications. It also possesses an electrically isolated power supply hence minimizing the impact of any electrical interference on the functionality of the module. The X20IF1041-1 is appropriate for installation at altitudes of up to 2000m with no restrictions thus it can be installed in different geographical areas. In installations that are located above 2000 meters a reduction in temperature by 0..5 degrees C per 100 meters is required
