X20BM11 Product Features and Functions
The X20BM11 module offers the following key features and functions:
Modular Design: Its plug-in design provides the foundation for building a compact, modular distributed I/O system.
High Reliability: It operates stably in industrial environments ranging from -25°C to 60°C (horizontally mounted), adapting to harsh operating conditions.
Seamless Integration: It seamlessly integrates with other B&R X20 series controllers and I/O modules, facilitating system expansion.
Power Distribution: The module distributes internal I/O power to other installed functional modules.
Usage and Installation Procedure
System Integration: The X20BM11 is the starting point for building a B&R X20 distributed I/O system. You plug the required digital/analog I/O modules, communication modules, and other modules into the bus module.
Power Connection: Ensure a stable 24 VDC power supply and ensure proper polarity protection.
Mounting: The module can be mounted horizontally or vertically on a standard DIN rail. During installation, please note that ambient temperature derating is required for installations above 2000 meters.
Wiring: Use matching terminal blocks (such as X20TB12, X20TB1F, etc.) to connect signal cables for field sensors and power cables for actuators.
Engineering: Configure and program the hardware in B&R's integrated development environment, Automation Studio, to define the parameters and behavior of the I/O points.
Main Applications:
Thanks to its high performance and reliability, the X20BM11 and the X20 system it houses are widely used in industrial automation applications requiring precision control, including:
Manufacturing: Automated production lines and assembly lines.
Robotics: Robot control systems.
Process Control: Process control systems in industries such as chemical and energy.
Other Applications: Transportation, mobile automation, etc.
