Product Description

The B&R X20BC00G3 is a key component in B&R’s modular X20 I/O system, functioning as an EtherCAT bus controller. This module acts as the communication gateway, allowing a B&R X20 I/O station to operate as an EtherCAT slave. It establishes a connection between the high-speed EtherCAT fieldbus and the internal X2X Link, which is B&R’s own backplane bus for its I/O modules. The X20BC00G3 is designed for seamless integration and high-speed data exchange, making it ideal for systems that require fast, deterministic, and synchronized communication.

Product Parameters

The X20BC00G3 module is defined by the following specifications:

• Fieldbus: EtherCAT (operates as a slave)
• Connectors: Two shielded RJ45 connectors for EtherCAT communication
• Transfer Rate: 100 Mbit/s
• I/O Cycle: Configurable from 0.2 ms to 4 ms
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 55°C
• Topology: Supports line, tree, and star topologies
• Firmware: Supports firmware updates and configuration via the fieldbus (FoE – File access over EtherCAT)
• Synchronization: Provides synchronization between the EtherCAT fieldbus and the internal X2X Link
• Mounting: Can be mounted horizontally or vertically

Product Advantages

The B&R X20BC00G3 offers several advantages that enhance industrial automation systems:

• High-Speed Communication: As an EtherCAT slave, it enables real-time, deterministic data exchange, which is critical for high-performance applications like motion control and robotics.
• Modular and Scalable: It’s a fundamental part of the X20 system, allowing you to easily add or remove I/O modules to scale your system’s capabilities without complex reconfiguration.
• Ease of Integration: The module’s auto-configuration feature for I/O modules and support for EtherCAT’s CoE (CANopen over EtherCAT) protocol simplify setup and integration into both B&R and third-party master systems.
• Flexible Topology: Its support for various network topologies gives engineers flexibility in designing the physical layout of their automation network.
• Robust Design: Built to B&R’s high industrial standards, it’s reliable and durable in a wide range of industrial environments.

Applications

The X20BC00G3 is a versatile component used in a wide variety of industries and applications where high-performance fieldbus communication is a must:

• Robotics: For connecting I/O modules on a robot arm or within a robotic cell for fast and precise control.
• CNC Machinery: Enabling a decentralized I/O setup for tool changers, sensors, and actuators on machine tools.
• Packaging and Filling Lines: For synchronizing the motion of various machine components at high speed.
• Automated Test and Measurement: Providing a reliable interface for data acquisition from various sensors.
• Process Control: For connecting field devices in a distributed control system where real-time data is essential.

Precautions

For safe and reliable operation of the B&R X20BC00G3, follow these precautions:

• Proper Mounting: Ensure the module is securely installed on a B&R X20 bus base (e.g., X20BB80) on a DIN rail.
• Shielded Cables: Use shielded RJ45 Ethernet cables to prevent electrical noise and ensure data integrity over the EtherCAT network.
• Environmental Conditions: Operate the module within its specified temperature range of 0°C to 55°C and a low-dust environment, as it is not sealed against moisture.
• Power Supply: Ensure the bus base is connected to a stable and correct 24 VDC power supply.
• Consult Documentation: Always refer to the official B&R user manual for detailed information on installation, configuration, and troubleshooting to avoid errors and ensure optimal performance.
