Product Description:

The X20IF1074 is a communication interface module in the X20 range of B & R Automation I/O modules. It is designed to establish serial communication between an X20 system and external devices. This allows the control system to transmit and receive data from serial peripherals such as barcode readers, label printers and operator panels. The module provides a reliable link for the serial integration in applications that require real-time data exchange. This unit features a PROFINET IO communication interface which helps to connect the X20 control system and PROFINET-capable devices. This ensures compatibility with a broad range of automation equipment, simplifying system integration.

The X20IF1074 is equipped with two RJ45 connectors, enabling network connections across multiple devices. This dual-port setup also supports media redundancy protocols, which help to maintain continuous operation even in the event of a cable or device failure. This ensures higher reliability, making the module especially suitable for robust industrial environments. The module allows users to keep track of the system’s performance. This is facilitated by a status display made up of LEDs that signal important performance metrics such as the status of the module, data transfer and the terminating resistor. These indicators enable faster, more informed maintenance actions for enhanced system uptime.

This module is adaptable to a wide range of operating conditions. It can withstand humidity levels of up to 95% without condensation. It is also robust enough for operating temperatures of up to 60°C. This versatile operating range supports diverse automation environments, making the module well suited for typical as well as demanding industrial setups. The module is also built to withstand accidental contact with moving parts, enhancing operational safety and overall durability.
