Product Description:
The 8AC141.60-2 module is manufactured by B & R Automation and belongs to the 8AC Powerlink Modules series. It serves as a compact controller and communication node that brings Ethernet, CAN, serial, and local I/O connectivity into one housing for distributed industrial automation tasks. It allows machinery to exchange process data over the POWERLINK network while also supporting a small mix of analog and digital signals.
An analog input stage with 12-bit resolution enables 4096 discrete measurement steps for sensor values, while a CPU clocked at 100 MHz executes deterministic control routines. Program variables and buffering are handled by 16 MB of DRAM, and two CAN ports move field messages at up to 500 kbit/s for drive, sensor, or valve islands. The integrated Ethernet transceiver follows the 100 Base-T standard, giving the module real-time access to higher-level controllers or SCADA hosts. A single RS-232 console reaches 115.2 kbaud for local serial access, and differential analog inputs present 20 MΩ impedance to minimize loading. Three discrete I/O points are available through the 8-pin module connector, and an X2X link master interface supports one expansion segment for additional slices.
Application code is stored on CompactFlash, so updates can be loaded from removable media. The digital channels can source or sink up to 500 mA, a level that suits small relays or indicator lamps without external drivers, yet overall module demand stays within 4.5 W so panel heat generation is limited. Nonvolatile parameters are retained in 32 kB of SRAM, preserving machine counters through power cycles. The module can be mounted close to machine sensors when localized control and remote I/O collection are needed on a compact machine station.
