Product Description

The X67BC8513.L12 is a reliable module manufactured by B&R Automation in their I/O module series for communication tasks in industrial environments. This module enables seamless connection of X2X Link I/O nodes to the POWERLINK network, facilitating the integration of decentralized I/O systems with higher-level control systems. The module serves as a bus controller, ensuring that all connected devices in the network operate in a synchronized manner for system efficiency. The module utilizes 12 digital channels that can be configured as either inputs or outputs. Each digital input can also support additional functions, allowing the module to adapt to various system requirements. The module also features a single channel for analog input for processing continuous signals.

This module allows dynamic node allocation (DNA) for system flexibility. With DNA, the module can automatically assign addresses to devices on the POWERLINK network, reducing setup time considerably. The module is compatible with standard industrial power supplies since it operates at a 24 VDC nominal voltage. Connecting components and peripherals to the module is made easy by the availability of multiple connectivity options. It features an M12 D-coded connector that supports fieldbus connections. Its X2X Link connections are facilitated by an M12 B-coded connector. For inputs and outputs, it provides eight M12 A-coded connectors.

The X67BC8513.L12 provides a power output of 15 W for the X2X Link power supply, efficiently supporting connected I/O modules. It has a modest rate of power consumption with a rated 2.5 W consumption for the fieldbus and a 0.6 W consumption for the I/O circuitry. The module's I/O power supply operates at a nominal voltage of 24 VDC, allowing a flexible voltage range of 18 to 30 VDC.
