Product Description

The B&R X20BC1083 is an expandable bus controller module that serves as a critical link in the B&R X20 I/O system. This module acts as a POWERLINK bus controller, connecting X2X Link I/O nodes to a POWERLINK network. POWERLINK is a real-time Ethernet protocol that provides high-speed, deterministic communication, making the X20BC1083 an ideal component for synchronized and time-critical automation applications. The module also features an integrated 2-port hub, which simplifies network cabling and allows for flexible line, star, or tree topologies.

Product Parameters

The X20BC1083 is defined by the following key specifications:

• Fieldbus: POWERLINK (V1/V2) controlled node
• Interfaces: 1 POWERLINK interface with an integrated 2-port hub
• Connectors: 2x shielded RJ45
• Transfer Rate: 100 Mbit/s
• Minimum Cycle Time: 200 µs for both the fieldbus and the internal X2X Link
• Synchronization: Allows for synchronization between the X2X Link and the POWERLINK cycle
• Expandability: Supports up to 2 slots for additional interface modules
• Operating Temperature: -25°C to 60°C (horizontal mounting)
• Protection: IP20

Product Advantages

The B&R X20BC1083 offers several significant benefits:

• Real-Time Performance: POWERLINK ensures deterministic, synchronized communication, which is crucial for high-speed motion control and other time-sensitive applications.
• Simplified Cabling: The integrated 2-port hub eliminates the need for external switches in simple line topologies, reducing wiring complexity and cost.
• Modularity and Scalability: As part of the X20 system, the module is highly modular. It allows you to expand your I/O with up to two interface modules, making it a flexible and scalable solution.
• Robustness: With a wide operating temperature range and an IP20 rating, this bus controller is designed to be reliable in demanding industrial environments.
• Easy Configuration: The module supports I/O configuration and firmware updates directly over the POWERLINK fieldbus, simplifying maintenance and commissioning.

Applications

The X20BC1083 is a versatile component suitable for a wide range of applications that rely on high-performance industrial networking. These include:

• Machine Control: In complex machinery, it connects various I/O nodes and sensors to the main controller for synchronized and precise operation.
• Robotics: For controlling and monitoring the I/O on robotic arms or within a robotic cell, ensuring fast and coordinated movements.
• Packaging Systems: In high-speed packaging lines, it enables precise timing and control of various motors, sensors, and actuators.
• Distributed Control Systems: It provides a reliable bus communication backbone for a distributed I/O architecture in large-scale automation projects.

Precautions

To ensure the safe and reliable operation of the B&R X20BC1083, please follow these guidelines:

• Bus Base: This module requires a separate bus base, such as the X20BB81 or X20BB82, which must be ordered separately.
• Shielded Cables: Always use shielded RJ45 cables for the POWERLINK connection to prevent electromagnetic interference and ensure signal integrity.
• Power Supply: Make sure the module and bus base are connected to a stable and correctly specified 24 VDC power supply.
• Environmental Conditions: While the module is robust, it’s important to operate it within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent component failure. Note that horizontal and vertical mounting have different temperature limits.
• Consult Documentation: For detailed installation, configuration, and safety instructions, always refer to the official B&R user manuals and datasheets.
