B&R X20DC11A6 Digital I/O Module | 16-Channel Isolated Inputs with PROFIBUS DP & IP20 Protection

Description

The B&R X20DC11A6 Digital I/O Module is a compact industrial automation component designed for high-reliability signal acquisition, featuring 16-channel isolated digital inputs, PROFIBUS DP communication support, and IP20 protection rating. As part of the B&R X20 modular I/O family, it shares core design traits with compatible series modules, including configurable input filtering to reduce signal interference, and support for 2-wire connection technology for seamless integration with standard switches and 2-wire proximity sensors. The module converts external digital process signals to controller-compatible logic levels, enabling efficient data transmission to PLC systems for real-time monitoring and control in industrial environments. It supports 24V DC field voltage, with isolated inputs providing 500V system-to-supply isolation for enhanced electrical protection against surges and cross-circuit damage. With a compact form factor optimized for dense control cabinet installations, it fits seamlessly into automated production lines, packaging machinery, and process control systems. Additional performance-enhancing features include low per-channel current draw, anti-reverse polarity protection to prevent wiring damage, and compatibility with up to 1 km of shielded cables to minimize EMI interference, ensuring stable operation in harsh industrial settings.
