Product Description

For applications requiring straightforward digital interfacing, the X67UM6342 mixed I/O module from B&R Automation enables direct connection of basic field signals into control systems. It features two photovoltaic (PNP) inputs and one sinking transistorized output, making versatile logic and counting functions easy to execute within distributed control architectures. The module conforms to DIN-rail mounting, simplifying installation in spaces with limited overhead. Binding head connectors allow for fast wiring with clearly labeled terminals, and the low-profile, snap-fit design ensures dense panel packing without sacrificing access or ventilation.

Monitoring and sourcing 24VDC signals is achieved through the module's voltage rating. It assures compatibility with standard PLC/PAC/HMI levels, accommodating widespread factory floor equipment that relies on older protocols. The module supports a range of applications from simple part counting to protocol translation, all without added complexity or cost.

The X67UM6342 is built for robustness, operating effectively from freezing to moderately elevated temperatures typically encountered near production equipment. It holds UL and CE certifications, demonstrating adherence to stringent electric, mechanical, and EMC testing standards. The design's lack of moving parts results in a high MTBF through passive cooling, eliminating the need for external fans or active thermostats. With a maximum consumption of just 2W, multiple modules can be accommodated without overloading power supplies. The use of screw clamp connectors simplifies wiring, reducing setup time and saving labor costs. The module's compact footprint and capabilities, including synchronization, 1oo2 redundancy, and multi-sensor integration, make it a valuable component for varied machine tasks requiring flexible digital contacts.
