B&R X67BC4321
Fieldbus: CANopen 8 digital channels, can be configured as input or output Simple I/O configuration via the fieldbus Integrated connection to the local expansions via X2X Link for 39 additional modules Configurable I/O cycle (0.4 to 1.3 ms) CAN (Controller Area Network) has become considerably widespread in automation technology. CAN topology is based on a line structure and uses twisted pair wires for data transfer. CANopen is a higher-layer protocol based on CAN. This standardized protocol offers highly flexible configuration possibilities. This bus controller makes it possible to connect X2X Link I/O nodes to CANopen. The bus controller has automatic transfer rate detection and AutoMapping of the I/O modules connected with X2X Link. All CANopen operating modes such as synchronous, event and polling modes are supported together with PDO linking, life/node guarding, emergency objects and much more. Note: Only the default function model is supported (see respective module description) by the bus controller for multi-function modules.
