B&R Automation I/O Systems

I/O Systems

More than just I/O

With its well thought-out details and a sophisticated ergonomic design, the X20 System is more than a remote I/O system, it is a complete control solution. Depending on the user's demands and individual application requirements, the X20 System family makes it possible to combine the exact components necessary.

The X20 System is the ideal addition to a standard fieldbus and expands the possibilities of standard control systems. Simply connect it, configure it, and you're done.
Teamed up with other B&R components, the X20 System achieves its full potential and allows the implementation of applications with unimagined performance and flexibility. Seamless integration is a major advantage.

3 x 1 = One

Three basic elements result in one module: terminal block – electronic module – bus module.
This modularity results in a system that combines the advantages of both rack and I/O slice systems:

Prewiring without the module
Hot pluggable electronics
Extra bus slots for added options

Remote I/O with IP67 protection

Mount, connect and you're ready to go. This is the new dimension for remote I/O mounted directly on the machine. Its credit card size design allows for mounting in the smallest areas. No space whatsoever is required in the control cabinet. IP67 protection withstands the harshest environments. As fast as a centralized solution. Connections are made using open fieldbus systems.

Classic I/O systems are located centrally in the control cabinet. Extensive wiring is required for sensors and actuators. Modular machine designs additionally require interconnections with bulkhead connectors. Remote I/O modules can reach their full potential only if additional distribution boxes can be completely eliminated. And that's why I/O modules with IP67 protection that can be used in rough industrial environments are the optimal solution.
