Integrated output protection
The module is equipped with 6 safe digital inputs and 2 safe digital outputs. It is designed for a nominal voltage of 24 VDC.
The module can be used to read in digital signals and to control actuators in safety-related applications up to PL e or SIL 3.
The module is equipped with filters that are individually configurable for switch-on and switch-off behavior. The module also provides pulse signals for diagnosing the sensor line.
The outputs are designed using semiconductor technology so that the safety-related characteristics do not depend on the number of operating cycles. The "high-side high-side" variant (output type B) is required for actuators with reference potential (e.g. Enable inputs on frequency inverters). It is important to observe the special notices for the cabling in this case. Safe digital output channels provide protection against automatic restart when network errors occur.

POWERLINK is a standard protocol for Fast Ethernet equipped with hard real-time characteristics. The POWERLINK Standardization Group (EPSG, see www.ethernet-powerlink.org) ensures its openness and continual development.
Systems with redundant cabling can be implemented easily using POWERLINK. Unlike ring redundancy, cable redundancy does not require cable looping, which can sometimes be problematic. This allows the creation of all types of tree structures. When using a device with the link selector function, data is always transferred via the highest quality network lines. The link selector function is integrated in the X20IF2181-2 module.

The interface module can be operated in X20 CPUs or in the expandable POWERLINK bus controller X20BC1083.
The interface is equipped with 2 RJ45 connections. Both connections result in an integrated switch. This makes it easy to implement daisy chain cabling.

This module can be used to evaluate encoders installed in B&R servo motors as well as encoders for external axes (encoders that scan any machine movement). The input signals are monitored. This makes it possible to detect open or shorted lines as well as encoder supply failures.
4 digital input channels
4 digital channels, configurable as inputs or outputs
1 universal counter pair (2 event counters, AB counters or up/down counters)
Linear movement generator (A/B, direction/frequency) with up to 2 reference pulses
SSI absolute encoder
NetTime timestamp: Input data, target position, position change, edge change, counter change
This module is a multifunction digital signal processor module. It can be used extremely flexibly for a wide variety of tasks involving digital signal processing or digital signal generation. Two primary example applications include controlling stepper output stages with pulse and direction signals or using as encoder emulation. In this application, for example, frequency inverters or servo axes with the speed follow function can follow a real or virtual master axis.
An additional essential feature is the module's integrated timestamp function. It allows counter ramps curves to be generated virtually independently of bus cycle times during encoder emulation, for example. Only the target counter value and moment when it should be reached are transferred. The module automatically generates the corresponding counter values at the appropriate time, precisely in microsecond resolution and independently of the bus clock.
