POWERLINK V2 for real-time Ethernet communication

• Integrated link selector function (preconfigured)

• Redundant Managing Node for controller redundancy

• Integrated hub for efficient cabling (configurable)

• Configurable ring redundancy

• Poll response chaining

• Dynamic Node Allocation (DNA)

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.
