What is the B&R X20RT8001?
reACTION technology module
4 high-speed digital inputs
4 high-speed digital channels, configurable as inputs or outputs
1 ABR incremental encoder input 24 V
Pulse width modulation
24 VDC and GND for encoder supply
Supports blackout mode
This reACTION technology module has four high-speed digital inputs and four high-speed digital mixed channels. All connections are designed for 1-wire connections . All inputs are designed for sink connections, the outputs for push-pull connections.
Ultrafast reACTION Technology makes it possible to control the integrated I/O channels with response times down to 1 μs . All of the commands that can be used for reACTION programs are provided as function blocks in special libraries ( e.g. AsIORTI). Programming in compliance with IEC 61131-3 requirements takes place in the Function Block Diagram editor in Automation Studio.
The module supports blackout mode. In blackout mode, programmable module functionality persists even if the network fails.
