Product Description:

The X20cBC0083 Bus Controller is a POWERLINK (V1/V2) controlled node designed for efficient fieldbus communication. It offers dynamic node allocation that reduces setup complexities. It ensures reliable operation in industrial automation environments requiring precise control with integrated diagnostics and minimal power consumption.

The B & R Automation X20cBC0083 bus controller supports a Type 2 POWERLINK interface with a 100 Mbit/s transfer rate. It uses two shielded RJ45 hub connectors and supports a maximum line length of 100 meters between stations. The physical layer complies with 100BASE-TX standards that supports half duplex communication but not full duplex. Auto negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX features are available in the controller that ensures seamless network configuration. Hub propagation delay ranges from 0.96 to 1 microsecond for efficient data transmission. The minimum cycle time for both the fieldbus and X2X Link is 200 microseconds. Diagnostics features of the controller include module status and bus function monitoring using LED indicators and software tools. The device supports dynamic node allocation (DNA) that enhances flexibility in system configurations. Electrical isolation ensures POWERLINK signals remain isolated from the bus and I/O circuits. Power consumption of this model is optimized at 2 W.

The X20cBC0083 bus controller from the X20 Fieldbus series can be mounted horizontally or vertically. It is suitable for installation up to 2000 meters above sea level without limitations. For installations above 2000 meters, the ambient temperature must be reduced by 0.5 °C for every additional 100 meters. The protection level of this model complies with IP20 according to EN 60529 standards. This bus controller is ideal for applications requiring fast data communication, reliable diagnostics and low power consumption in industrial automation systems. Its compact design and standardized interfaces make it easy to integrate into existing setups.
