What is the main function of this I/O Module?
The X20DC2396 is an I/O Module from B&R. It is primarily used to facilitate communication between different parts of a system, such as sensors and actuators, and the main controller. This allows for efficient data exchange and control.
What are the operating conditions for this part?
The X20DC2396 can operate in both horizontal and vertical mounting orientations. It can function at an installation elevation from 0 to 2000 m without any limitations. The operating temperature ranges from -25 to 60°C for horizontal mounting and -25 to 50°C for vertical mounting.
What are the power requirements for this part?
The X20DC2396 requires an input voltage of 24 VDC with a tolerance of -15% / +20%. It has a nominal output power of 2 W for the X2X Link power supply.
What certifications does this part have?
The X20DC2396 is CE and EAC certified. It also has an ATEX certification for Zone 2, II 3G Ex nA nC IIA T5 Gc, IP 20.
What is the maximum transfer rate for this part?
The X20DC2396 has a maximum transfer rate of 1 Mbit/s. It also features automatic transfer rate detection.
What is the significance of the node number in this part?
The node number on the X20DC2396 can be set to either 1 or 2. This is used to identify the module in a network. By default, the module is set to node number 1. However, it can be set to node number 2 by connecting terminal connections 14 and 24 using a jumper.
What is the role of the terminating resistor in this part?
In the X20DC2396, the terminating resistor is used in the CAN networks which are cabled using a bus structure. Both ends of the bus must be wired with a terminating resistor. This helps to prevent signal reflection and ensures proper data transmission.
