B&R X20BM05: Compact and Robust Backplane Module for X20 System, 5 – Slot Design, High – Speed Data Transfer, and Excellent Electrical Isolation for Industrial Automation

Description

The B&R X20BM05 is a compact, robust backplane module designed exclusively for the B&R X20 automation system, a comprehensive control and remote I/O solution optimized for industrial automation applications. Featuring a 5-slot design, this module serves as a critical backbone for connecting X20 system components, enabling high-speed data transfer between attached modules while delivering excellent electrical isolation to protect sensitive circuitry from interference in harsh industrial environments. As part of the X20 system’s modular architecture, it works seamlessly with terminal blocks, electrical modules, and other base modules to create flexible, scalable automation setups. Key system-integrated features include support for pre-wiring of terminal blocks outside the system, hot-swappable electrical modules, and configurable bus slots that boost deployment flexibility. Compatible with 12mm-wide modules that offer 12 I/O channels—50% more density than traditional plug-in systems—it supports 1-wire, 2-wire, or 3-wire installation without requiring additional jumper terminals. The module’s design aligns with industrial cabinet frameworks, simplifying configuration and maintenance, and it is suitable for use in both space-efficient machine controllers and large-scale distributed intelligent systems.
