B&R X20cBR9300 X20 bus receiver
Material number:
X20cBR9300
Description:
• X2X Link bus receiver
• Feed for X2X Link and internal I/O supply
• Electrical isolation of feed and X2X Link supply
• Redundancy of X2X Link supply possible by operating multiple supply
modules simultaneously
• Operation only on the slot to the far left

The interface module is used to expand the X20 CPU for specific applications.
It is equipped with an POWERLINK interface.
POWERLINK is a standard protocol for Fast Ethernet equipped with hard
real-time characteristics. The POWERLINK Standardization Group ensures
its openness and continual development.
Systems with redundant cabling can be implemented easily using POWERLINK.
Unlike ring redundancy, cable redundancy does not require cable looping,
which can sometimes be problematic. This allows the creation of all types of tree
structures. When using a device with the link selector function, data is always
transferred via the highest quality network lines. The link selector function is
integrated in the X20IF2181-2 module.
The interface module is equipped with an EtherNet/IP scanner interface.
This allows third-party components to be integrated in the B&R system and
makes it possible to quickly and easily transfer data in both directions.
The interface module can be operated in the X20 controllers or in the expandable
X20BC1083 POWERLINK bus controller.
The interface is equipped with 2 RJ45 connections. Both connections result in an
integrated switch. This makes it easy to implement daisy chain cabling.
The interface module is equipped with an EtherNet/IP adapter interface.
This allows the B&R system (I/O modules, POWERLINK, etc.) to be connected to
systems from other manufacturers and makes it possible to quickly and easily
transfer data in both directions.
