Product Description:

The B&R Automation X20D14371 is a high-speed machined digital output module that is part of the X20 Fieldbus I/O product line.

It is utilized in sophisticated industrial equipment systems for precise and high-performance signal handling. There are 14 digital outputs in this module but these digital outputs can switch 24 VDC signals, and that is why this module could be used to operate actuators, indicators, and other output devices in real-time environments. Output current for each output channel is up to 0.5 A and the maximum output current of the module is 8 A. The switching components are founded over powerful MOSFET technology, guaranteed swift switching, excellent efficacy and long life. Having a switching signal activation/deactivation time of less than 0.5 ms, the X20D14371 also ensures high response time, which is essential in time-sensitive operations. Each output channel also has built in short-circuit protection, providing extra safety to the system, not to mention removing the possibility of hardware damage. Per-channel diagnostics can yield clear fault identification and trouble shooting with an enhanced system reliability and minimal downtimes.

The module employs the use of push-in spring terminal connection, and the fact is that it can be easily wired in without use of any tool, thus facilitating the process of installation and maintenance. Weighing just 45 grams, the module is compact and feather-light with its enclosure measuring 37.5 mm wide and perfect in applications where space efficiency is an important factor such as high-density control panels. The X20D14371 operates at a temperature range of −25 °C to 60 °C with IP20 protection, so the device is intended to be used in a controlled cabinet environment. It fits very well in the modular automation system developed by B&R and provide flexibility and performance required in a complex industrial network.
