B&R 5AP1120.0702-000 I/O module

B&R 5AP1120.0702-000 Overview

The B&R 5AP1120.0702-000 is a high-performance I/O module designed for industrial automation systems, likely part of B&R’s X20 or Automation PC (APC) series. It serves as a critical component in distributed control architectures, enabling precise data acquisition, signal processing, and real-time communication within complex automation environments.

Key Technical Parameters

1. Power Supply
   • Input Voltage: Typically 24 VDC (standard for industrial modules), with a tolerance range of ±10%.
   • Power Consumption: Low power design, optimized for energy efficiency (exact value depends on connected load).
2. Communication Interface
   • Fieldbus Integration: Supports real-time industrial protocols such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, or POWERLINK (dependent on system configuration).
   • Data Transfer Rate: Up to 100 Mbps (for Ethernet-based protocols) with deterministic performance.
   • Backplane Connectivity: Integrates with B&R’s high-speed X2X Link for modular I/O expansion.
3. I/O Specifications
   • Channel Configuration: Likely includes 16 or 32 digital I/O channels (mix of inputs/outputs configurable via software).
   • Signal Type: Supports digital signals (24 VDC for inputs, transistor/solid-state outputs).
   • Isolation: Galvanic isolation between channels and field-side circuitry for noise immunity.
4. Environmental Resilience
   • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +60°C (typical for industrial modules).
   • Protection Class: IP20 (standard for control cabinet installations).
   • Certifications: Complies with IEC 61131-2, CE, UL, and RoHS standards.
5. Mechanical Design
   • Form Factor: Compact, modular housing for DIN-rail mounting.
   • Hot-Swappable: Supports replacement without system shutdown (if part of a redundant setup).

Functional Features

1. Real-Time Control
   • Enables deterministic control loops for high-speed processes (e.g., PLC logic, motion control).
   • Seamless integration with B&R Automation Studio for programming and diagnostics.
2. Flexible Configuration
   • Software-configurable I/O channels (input/output modes set via B&R Automation Studio).
   • Supports mixed signal types on the same module (optional, depending on variant).
3. Diagnostics and Monitoring
   • Built-in diagnostics for channel status (short-circuit, overload detection).
   • LED indicators for power, communication, and channel activity.
4. Scalability
   • Modular design allows expansion via additional X20 I/O modules or coupling to remote stations.
   • Compatible with B&R’s X20 System, enabling distributed I/O architectures.
5. Safety Integration
   • May support safety-rated I/O (if part of B&R’s SafeLOGIC/SafeIO portfolio) for SIL 2/3 applications.
6. Redundancy Support
   • Optional redundancy configurations for critical processes (e.g., dual power supplies, fieldbus redundancy).

Typical Applications

• Manufacturing Lines: PLC-controlled machinery, conveyor systems.
• Process Automation: Data acquisition in chemical, food & beverage industries.
• Motion Control: Integration with servo drives and robotic systems.
• Energy Management: Monitoring and control in smart grid applications.

Compatibility

• Software: Programmed via B&R Automation Studio 4 (or higher).
• Hardware: Compatible with B&R controllers (e.g., CPUs from X20, APC, or ACOPOS series).
