Product Description

This X20IF10E1-1 communication drive from B&R Automation serves as a PROFINET IO controller (master) and is a critical component designed within industrial automation systems. This company B&R is dedicated to delivering innovative technology and integrated solutions for efficient and reliable processes of several complex systems.

This X20 communication drive contains a power consumption of just 2 W and ensures efficient operation while maintaining compliance with various safety and environmental standards as well. These standards include CE, UKCA, ATEX Zone 2, and DNV certifications and they highlight its suitability for use in hazardous places by ensuring reliable performance in environments classified under Class I, Division 2, Groups ABCD, T5. The module is designed with dual RJ45 interfaces that support shielded connections by allowing a part of the length as 100 meters between stations. Operating at a transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s over the 100BASE-TX physical layer, it supports auto-negotiation with both half-duplex and full-duplex modes with Auto-MDI/MDIX capabilities. The netX100 controller is coupled with 8 MB SDRAM which provides processing power and memory capacity for handling complex and large data communication tasks efficiently. In terms of installation, the X20IF10E1-1 interface module offers flexibility with its ability to function effectively in both horizontal and vertical across a wide operating temperature range of -25 to 60 degrees C horizontally and -25 to 50 degrees C vertically mountings.

It is engineered to endure challenging environmental conditions by including vibration levels reaching up to 4 g and is certified for electromagnetic compatibility in demanding bridge and open deck settings. It operates at altitudes up to 2000 meters, with only minimal adjustments to ambient temperature needed at higher elevations. The X20IF10E1-1 communication drive dependable electrical isolation between the PLC and PROFINET IO guarantees secure and consistent performance by playing a crucial role in upholding the efficiency and reliability of systems.
