Product Description

This B&R Automation's X20IF1072 CAN bus interface module is a versatile component designed for integration within the X20 PLC system by expanding the communication capabilities of the CPU. B&R focuses on industrial automation solutions including control systems, motion control, and machine vision technologies.

This module facilitates reliable data exchange in industrial environments leveraging its high-performance SJA 1000 controller which supports transfer rates of up to 1Mbit/s. The connection interface is provided via a 5-pin male multipoint connector with a maximum communication distance of 1000 meters by ensuring extensive network reach within complex setups. An integrated terminating resistor within the module enhances signal integrity by preventing signal reflections which is critical in maintaining stable communication over the CAN bus. Status indicators are indicated as LEDs for module status, data transfer, and terminating resistor presence. This feature allows for easy monitoring and diagnostics for quick identification of operational states and potential issues. The X20 CAN bus interface module functions efficiently within a wide range of environmental conditions by maintaining full functionality in temperatures from -25 degrees C to 60 degrees C when mounted horizontally, and -25 degrees C to 50 degrees C when mounted vertically. It is designed to withstand relative humidity levels of up to 96% in non-condensing environments by ensuring durability in challenging industrial settings.

The X20IF1072 module meets several international certifications for safety including CE, UKCA, and ATEX Zone 2 which helps in making it suitable for use in hazardous locations classified under Class I, Division 2. It is compliant with maritime standards including DNV, ABS, and LR for applications in marine environments. With a power consumption of just 0.79 W the module offers an energy-efficient solution while providing robust isolation between the PLC and CAN bus to make sure safe and reliable operation.
