Product Description:
The 0AC808.9 is an Ethernet interface converter produced by B&R Automation as part of the 0AC Interface Converters series. Installed within control cabinets, the unit aggregates twisted-pair network lines and feeds them to controllers or remote I/O, allowing industrial devices to exchange data over standard 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX links. By translating signaling levels and isolating segments, the converter simplifies expansion of machine networks without requiring protocol changes.
The module is powered from a control supply of 24 VDC and forwards traffic at a maximum transfer rate of 10/100 Mbit/s. It offers 8 shielded RJ45 ports that accept Auto-MDI/MDIX cabling and support autonegotiation, so crossover or straight-through cords can be mixed without manual setting. Communication occurs in half-duplex only; full-duplex frames are not accepted, which aligns with legacy field buses that rely on collision detection. Each copper segment may extend up to 100 m from the converter, maintaining IEEE-compliant signal integrity. Reverse-polarity protection on the DC input prevents damage during wiring, while the physical interface remains limited to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX operation.
Average power draw is 3 W, which reduces cabinet thermal load and simplifies power supply sizing. The housing width of 115 mm, depth of 86 mm, and height of 43 mm fit standard DIN-rail clearances, allowing side-by-side stacking with other 0AC family modules. An enclosure rating of IP20 confirms finger-safe terminals yet requires installation in a protected environment. Shielded RJ45 connectors mitigate electromagnetic interference common near servo drives, and the converter retains link stability when line voltages momentarily reverse thanks to integrated reverse-polarity circuitry. Its compact format suits machine control panels that need multiple Ethernet channels within limited cabinet space and available control power.
