Description

The X20HB2885 is a B&R active hub expansion module designed for industrial automation applications. It features 2x 100 BASE-T fast Ethernet ports optimized for redundant wiring, with support for hot-swapping to enable uninterrupted operation during maintenance. The module integrates a link selector function that works with the X20BC8084 POWERLINK bus controller and X20HB8884 module, enhancing network reliability by maintaining connection between the two ports if a bus controller or compact link selector fails. Depending on the used bus base, it can operate in 1 or 2 available slots, offering flexible integration into existing setups. Equipped with LED indicators, it provides clear visual feedback for both module status and network function, simplifying diagnostic processes. With a power consumption of 1.17 watts, it operates efficiently while delivering robust performance. The module holds UKCA certification, with CRA (Cyber Resilience Act) certification in preparation, ensuring compliance with relevant industrial standards.
