Product Description

The B&R X20BT9400 is a specialized bus transmitter module for the B&R X20 and X67 I/O systems. Its main function is to enable the seamless expansion of a system by transmitting the X2X Link bus signal over a significant distance, up to 100 meters. This module also provides a crucial power supply for both the internal I/O system and the X67 system, eliminating the need for a separate power supply module in the remote station. Designed to be placed in the rightmost slot of a bus base, the X20BT9400 is ideal for building large, distributed automation systems with robust communication and power delivery.

Product Parameters

The key technical specifications for the B&R X20BT9400 include:

• Function: X2X Link bus transmitter and integrated power supply for X20 and X67 I/O.
• Supply Voltage: 24 VDC (-15% / +20%).
• Permissible Contact Load: 10 A.
• Segment Length: Up to 100 meters.
• Safety: Short-circuit and overload proof.
• Operating Temperature: -25°C to 60°C (with horizontal mounting) and -25°C to 50°C (with vertical mounting).
• Protection: Integrated, non-replaceable fuse for the X67 supply. A separate line fuse (max. 10 A) is required for the I/O power supply.
• Diagnostics: Features LED status indicators for the X2X bus function, operating state, and module status.

Product Advantages

The B&R X20BT9400 offers several key benefits for industrial automation:

• Simplified System Expansion: It allows for easy and cost-effective expansion of the I/O system over long distances, which is perfect for large machines or sprawling production lines.
• Integrated Power Supply: The module provides power for the connected I/O, reducing the need for additional power supply components and simplifying wiring.
• Robust Communication: The X2X Link provides reliable and high-speed data transfer, ensuring that remote I/O points are synchronized with the main controller.
• Space-Saving Design: By combining bus transmission and power supply into a single module, it helps create more compact and efficient control cabinets.
• Reliability: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, the module features protection against short circuits and overloads, and has a wide operating temperature range.

Applications

The X20BT9400 is an essential component in any system that requires a decentralized I/O architecture. Common applications include:

• Large Machinery: Connecting I/O points in different sections of a large machine, such as sensors on a long conveyor belt or actuators on a multi-station assembly line.
• Distributed Control Systems: Creating modular I/O stations across a production facility, providing a flexible and scalable automation solution.
• Modular Machines: Used by machine builders to create modular machine designs that can be easily configured and expanded to meet customer needs.
• Robotic Cells: Providing the communication and power backbone for I/O devices within a robotic work cell that may be physically distant from the main control cabinet.

Precautions

To ensure the safe and reliable operation of the B&R X20BT9400, it’s important to follow these guidelines:

• Mounting Location: This module must be installed in the rightmost slot of the X20 block.
• Proper Power Supply: Connect the module to a stable 24 VDC power supply and ensure a separate 10 A slow-blow fuse is used for the I/O power supply input. The module does not have reverse polarity protection on the I/O power supply.
• Compatible Receiver: The bus transmitter must be connected to a compatible bus receiver module, such as the X20BR9400.
• Environmental Conditions: Always operate the module within its specified temperature and humidity ranges to prevent component failure.
• Consult Documentation: For detailed installation, wiring diagrams, and safety instructions, always refer to the official B&R user manuals and datasheets.
