Product Description:

The 0G0010.00-090 cable is produced by B & R Automation for the System 2005 Controllers series and functions as a local expansion medium inside a modular PLC rack. In industrial automation, it transfers parallel I/O data across adjacent controller sections, letting the CPU read or write additional field channels without separate communication cards. By linking an expansion master board to downstream slave boards, the cable keeps signal timing consistent and shortens internal wiring runs within a control cabinet. This makes it suitable for compact control systems that need more connected I/O without adding extra network hardware inside the rack.

This link permits up to 4 B&R 2005 backplanes to be chained so that an individual processor can address every slot as if it were on one board. When the architecture is upgraded to a B&R 2010 platform, the same assembly allows as many as 10 bus segments on the native controller rail. The cable’s function is I/O Bus Expansion, so it carries parallel address, data, and control lines rather than power. Its connection role is Expansion Master To Slaves, so the first plug must occupy the master header while the remaining plugs connect to subordinate boards. Data transfer takes place in Local Bus mode, keeping signals inside the cabinet without the latency of remote network gateways.

Each B&R 2010 segment attached through the cable can host up to 20 I/O modules before another expansion branch is required. System compatibility is B&R 2005 / B&R 2010, allowing reuse during platform migrations. Because the cable assembly is supplied directly by B & R Automation, its mechanical fit and pin assignment match the slots used in these racks. It is intended for the System 2005 Controllers series, where it extends local I/O capacity through direct rack-to-rack connections. This arrangement allows added sections to remain part of the same local control structure instead of relying on separate remote I/O links.
