Description

B&R X20IF2792 Communication Interface Module

Product Dimensions：

The B&R X20IF2792 is a high-performance interface module from the X20 System family, specifically designed to provide a PROFIBUS DP master interface. It allows seamless integration of PROFIBUS DP slaves into the B&R automation environment.

### Product Overview

The X20IF2792 is a plug-in module that expands the communication capabilities of X20 controllers. It functions as a powerful fieldbus master, ensuring high-speed data exchange and robust connectivity in complex industrial networks.

### Technical Specifications

### Key Advantages

• Seamless Integration: Fully integrated into the B&R Automation Studio software environment for easy configuration and diagnostics.

• High Performance: Supports the maximum PROFIBUS speed of 12 Mbit/s, minimizing cycle times for time-critical applications.

• Space-Saving Design: The ultra-compact X20 form factor allows for high-density installations in control cabinets.

• Galvanic Isolation: The interface is electrically isolated, protecting the internal system logic from external interference or electrical surges on the fieldbus line.

• Hot Swappable: Like other X20 modules, it supports replacement without powering down the entire system (depending on the base module used).

### Precautions & Usage Notes

• Termination: Ensure that the PROFIBUS line is correctly terminated with a 220 $\Omega$ resistor at both physical ends of the segment to prevent signal reflections.

• Address Configuration: PROFIBUS station addresses must be unique. The master address is typically set to 1 by default in Automation Studio.

• Cabling: Use high-quality shielded twisted-pair cables (Type A) to ensure EMC compliance and stable data rates at long distances.

• Cooling: Ensure adequate ventilation in the cabinet, as the module generates a small amount of heat during continuous 12 Mbit/s operation.

### Product Applications

The X20IF2792 is widely used in industries requiring hybrid communication setups, such as:

1. Factory Automation: Connecting legacy PROFIBUS sensors, actuators, and motor drives to a modern B&R PLC.

2. Process Engineering: Integrating flow meters, valves, and analytical instruments that standardly communicate via PROFIBUS DP.

3. Machine Tooling: Interfacing with specialized CNC peripherals or third-party remote I/O stations.

4. Energy Management: Communicating with power meters and protection relays in substations.
