2IF101.60-1
The B & R Automation 2IF101.60-1 module is a ruggedly designed communication interface within the System 2010 Controllers series, engineered for DIN rail mounting in industrial automation environments. Manufactured by B & R Automation, this 24 VDC interface module consumes approximately 1.5 W of power, delivering reliable connectivity between master controllers and peripheral devices. It features dual-mode communication, supporting both RS232 and RS485 interfaces for broad compatibility with common fieldbus standards. The design emphasizes a compact footprint of 110 mm × 35 mm × 100 mm (H × W × D), optimizing panel space without sacrificing performance or serviceability. Integrated status LEDs and simple rotary switches facilitate rapid commissioning and troubleshooting on the factory floor.
The 2IF101.60-1 integrates critical specifications to meet stringent industrial requirements. It operates at Operating Voltage: 24 VDC and draws Power Consumption: approx. 1.5 W, ensuring minimal load on power supplies. Communication is achieved via Interface: RS232/RS485 and a dedicated CAN Protocol: CAN 2.0B active channel on the B&R Bus System: X20 (B&R System). Users can select speeds between Baud Rate: 10 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s through integrated settings, and baud rates up to 115.2 kbaud for serial links. The module accommodates Number Of Channels: 1 and is mounted via Mounting Type: DIN rail for tool-free installation. Physical robustness is assured by a Protection Class: IP20 rating, and the module holds both Approvals: CE, UL conformity marks. Removable terminal blocks and a choice of Connector: Sub-D 9-pin or RJ45 simplify wiring, while effective thermal management supports an Operating Temperature Range: 0 to +60 °C.
Operational features are centered on diagnostics and secure data flow. A suite of front-panel LEDs – ERROR, RUN, READY, PGM, ACCESS, REMOTE I/O, and CAN I/O – provides clear visual feedback on module status and bus activity. Rotary switches enable rapid assignment of the CAN node ID without requiring external tools or software. The robust 24 VDC power interface and low power footprint ensure continuous operation even under voltage fluctuations. IP20 protection and approval to IEC EMC standards guarantee resilience against electromagnetic interference in dense control cabinets. Through its removable terminal block and standardized connectors, the 2IF101.60-1 optimizes maintenance workflows and reduces mean time to repair in high-availability systems.
System integration is streamlined via native support for the B&R X20 bus architecture, enabling plug-and-play operation with existing System 2010 Controllers and HMI devices. Its compatibility with standard RS232/RS485 field protocols makes it ideal for connecting remote servo drives, such as Lenze 9400 series, or legacy PLCs in factory automation lines. This versatile module is well suited for distributed I/O installations in packaging, material handling, and machine vision applications, where reliable data exchange and fast diagnostics are mission critical. The 2IF101.60-1 provides a compact, standards-compliant solution for expanding communication networks in diverse industrial settings.
