Product Description

This X20IF1082-2 communication module from B&R Automation is engineered to accurately interface with the X20 PLC system by offering a POWERLINK connection for real-time Ethernet communication. B&R offers state-of-the-art solutions that empower industries to achieve unparalleled precision and efficiency.

This X20IF1082-2 module supports both POWERLINK V1 and V2 standards which helps in allowing it to function as either a managing and controlled node within the network architecture. It features dual shielded RJ45 connectors integrated with a hub by enabling straightforward daisy-chain network configurations with a segment length capacity of up to 100 meters between stations. The module is characterized by its efficient power consumption, rated at just 2 watts, which aids in making it an energy-conscious solution suitable for various industrial automation settings. It incorporates comprehensive diagnostic capabilities such as LED status indicators and software tools by facilitating real-time monitoring of both the module's operational status and network bus performance. It has gained certifications regarding hazardous environments such as ATEX Zone 2 and Class I, Division 2, Groups ABCD, T5 standards, and complies with other several maritime certifications as well. This broad certification spectrum attests to its reliability in critical applications by including those in extreme conditions like maritime environments.

The X20IF1082-2 communication unit has a capacity to operate within a temperature range of -25 to 60 degrees C when mounted horizontally, and this becomes -25 to 50 degrees C when mounted vertically. The X20IF1082-2 communication module is designed to function within vibrations up to 4 g. Its physical layer operates on 100BASE-TX which helps in supporting half-duplex transmission with auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX capabilities. This aspect helps in ensuring flexible and dependable network integration. The module also features electrical isolation between the PLC and POWERLINK interfaces by providing enhanced protection and operational stability for all industrial demands.
