X20DI4760
The X20DI4760 digital input module from B & R Automation is an integral member of the X20 Fieldbus Input Output Modules series, providing robust acquisition of discrete control signals. This high-density unit features 16 digital input channels and operates at a rated input voltage of 24 VDC. With an average power consumption of approx. 0.5 W and a compact module width of 24 mm, it delivers efficient performance in space-constrained panels. Each channel is equipped with individual LED status indicators, enabling immediate visual confirmation of input states. The module’s DIN rail mounting design simplifies mechanical installation and integration into existing control cabinets.
The X20DI4760 excels in technical performance with a typical input current of 3 mA, ensuring reliable signal sensing without overloading field devices. Its rapid input delay of approx. 1 ms guarantees swift response to changing conditions, while the input signal type Type 1/3 (IEC 61131-2) compliance ensures compatibility with a wide range of sensors and switches. The isolation voltage of 500 V (channel to bus & electronics) protects the internal bus and electronics from electrical interference, preserving system integrity in noisy industrial environments. A dedicated X20 connector interface supports secure, tool-free wiring, and the module’s digital architecture provides clear binary state interpretation.
Designed for dependable operation in demanding conditions, the unit’s operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C accommodates fluctuating ambient temperatures common in industrial settings. Low power consumption helps minimize thermal load and reduces overall energy usage. The LED per input indicators not only enhance diagnostic capabilities but also streamline commissioning and troubleshooting. At a narrow module width, this input module maximizes cabinet density without sacrificing accessibility. Its sturdy digital input circuitry resists false triggering, delivering consistent data for critical control loops and safety functions.
Seamless integration into the B & R Automation ecosystem is achieved through the X20 platform’s fieldbus connectivity and standardized configuration tools. The module interfaces directly with programmable logic controllers, motion controllers, and remote I/O systems, offering scalable expansion as system requirements evolve. Typical applications include machine guarding, packaging systems, assembly lines, and process control environments where precise, real-time digital signal capture is essential. With its combination of technical reliability and compact design, the X20DI4760 module streamlines the deployment of high-performance industrial automation solutions.
