Product Description:

The X20CS1012 is a communication module manufactured by B&R Automation and invented to serve as an M-Bus master for controlling up to 64 slaves. This module is incorporated into the X20 I/O system and can be used in decentralized installations.

This X20 series communication module supports data transfer rates of 300, 2400, and 9600 bit/s which makes it suited for diverse industrial applications. The module's primary function is to foster the efficient collection and management of consumption data from meters based on the M-Bus (Meter-Bus) protocol. The X20 communication module> offers several status indicators which include data transfer, M-Bus power supply, and operating state. The module consumes 0.2 W of bus power and has an internal I/O power consumption of 0.35 W plus an additional 0.08 W per connected slave. It also has a power dissipation rate of 0.55 W plus 0.006 W per slave. The insulation voltage between the M-Bus and the X2X Link is rated at 500 VDC. The < complies with multiple certifications like CE, UKCA, and ATEX Zone 2 which make it appropriate for use in precarious environments. The module also fulfills the requirements for industrial control equipment and hazardous location process control.

The X20 series communication module uses a 12-pin terminal block (X20TB12) for interfacing along with a maximum distance for communication dependent on the M-Bus specifications. The module can handle a maximum of 64 slaves along with a transfer rate that ranges from 300 to 9600 bit/s. The electrical isolation is provided between the M-Bus and the bus. The X20CS1012 can be mounted horizontally and vertically and is operational within a temperature range of -25 to 60 degrees C.
