X67BC8780.L12
The X67BC8780.L12 module from B & R Automation is part of the X67 Analog Input Output Modules series and serves as a high-performance bus controller for industrial automation systems. This robust unit operates on a 24 VDC power supply and supports up to 64 expansion modules, enabling extensive I/O scalability. With a typical current consumption of 0.5 A and an ingress protection rating of IP67, the module is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions while ensuring continuous operation. Its primary function is to integrate multiple CAN interfaces into the POWERLINK network, managing data exchange for seamless automation control.
Featuring a fast bus-dependent local I/O cycle time of < 1 ms and full compliance with the POWERLINK V2 fieldbus protocol, the X67BC8780.L12 guarantees synchronized data flow across all connected devices. The integrated POWERLINK communication interface ensures reliable, real-time performance, while the metal housing provides EMI shielding and mechanical durability. Measuring 188 mm x 35 mm x 35 mm, the compact design allows for direct mounting on machinery, simplifying installation and reducing panel space requirements. The module also incorporates Dynamic Node Allocation (DNA), which automates network address assignment for added flexibility and streamlined configuration.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the module’s metal housing and integrated M12 connections deliver secure and robust cabling. An internal hub consolidates multiple network lines, minimizing clutter and easing cable management. The unit operates reliably in temperatures ranging from –25 to 60 °C, and its reverse-polarity protection safeguards against wiring errors. The combination of high ingress protection, metal construction, and intelligent network management features makes the X67BC8780.L12 an ideal solution for modern factory automation. Its durability, expandability, and efficient power usage translate into reduced downtime and maintenance costs, offering long-term value in industrial applications.
