Controller Area Network (CAN) is widespread in automation technology. CAN topology is based on a line structure and uses twisted wire pairs for data transfer. CANopen is a higher-layer protocol based on CAN. The standardized protocol offers very flexible configuration options.This bus controller makes it possible to connect up to 253 X2X Link I/O modules to CANopen. A transition between IP20 and IP67 protection is possible by directly connecting X20, X67 or XV modules to one another at distances of up to 100 m each across control cabinet boundaries as required. All CANopen operating modes such as synchronous, event and polling are supported as well as PDO linking, life/node guarding, heartbeat, emergency objects and much more. With multifunction modules, the bus controller supports only the default function model in the event of automatic configuration by the bus controller (see the respective module description). Automation Studio V4.3 or later can be used to easily create configuration files (e.g. DCF files). All other function models are also supported by transferring configuration data to the bus controller (e.g. via the master environment with an SDO download). Automation Studio can be downloaded at no cost from the B&R website (www.br-automation.com). The evaluation license is permitted to be used to create complete configurations for fieldbus bus controllers at no cost.

EtherCAT is an Ethernet-based fieldbus developed by Beckhoff. This protocol is suitable for both hard and soft real-time requirements in automation technology. In addition to a ring structure, which becomes logically necessary because of the summation frame telegram used, the EtherCAT technology also physically supports topologies such as line, tree, star (limited) and combinations of these topologies. B&R’s X20BC80G3 (expandable bus controller module) and X20HB88G0 (standalone junction base module) are available for implementing these topologies.EtherCAT slave devices take the data designated for them from a telegram as it is passing through the device. Input data is also added to the telegram as it is passing through. The bus controller allows X2X Link I/O modules to be coupled to EtherCAT and operated on any EtherCAT master system. A transition between IP20 and IP67 protection outside of the control cabinet is possible by arranging X20, X67 or XV modules one after the other as needed at distances up to 100 m.Master systems without FoE (File access over EtherCAT) support require an appropriate configuration tool to transfer the configuration (optional).With multifunction modules, the bus controller supports only the default function model in the event of automatic configuration by the bus controller (see the respective module description). All other function models are supported when configured accordingly in Automation Studio V4.3 or later. Automation Studio kann kostenlos von der B&R Webseite www.br-automation.com heruntergeladen werden. Die Evaluierungslizenz darf unentgeltlich zur Erstellung vollständiger Konfigurationen der Feldbus Bus Controller benützt werden.

PROFINET (Process Field Network) is an Industrial Ethernet protocol. It uses TCP/IP and is real-time capable. X20 modules or other modules that are based on X2X Link can be connected to the bus controller. Modular system configurations are optimally supported by PROFINET IO. Using the device description file (GSDML format), it is very easy to handle project configuration in the respective engineering tool from the manufacturer of the master device.

EtherNet/IP is an Ethernet-based fieldbus. EtherNet/IP was developed by Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) and later transferred to the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA) as an open standard. In 1998, a working group at ControlNet International developed a procedure for setting the published Common Industrial Protocol to Ethernet. EtherNet/IP was published in March 2000 as an open industrial automation standard based on this procedure. This bus controller makes it possible to connect X2X Link I/O nodes to EtherNet/IP. The bus controller can be operated via interface module X20IF10D1-1 or by 3rd-party systems with EtherNet/IP scanner functionality.With multifunction modules, the bus controller supports only the default function model in the event of automatic configuration by the bus controller (see the respective module description). Automation Studio V4.3 or later can be used to easily create configuration files (e.g. EDS files, binary files). All other function models are also supported by transferring configuration data to the bus controller (e.g. using the scanner via a “configuration assembly”). Automation Studio can be downloaded at no cost from the B&R website (www.br-automation.com). The evaluation license is permitted to be used to create complete configurations for fieldbus bus controllers at no cost.

The bus controller makes it possible to connect X2X Link I/O nodes to CAN I/O. CAN I/O is a transfer protocol based on standard CAN bus that is fully integrated in the B&R system.Up to 43 logic I/O modules can be connected to the bus controller. Up to 16 of them can be analog modules.With multifunction modules, the bus controller supports only the default function model in the event of automatic configuration by the bus controller (see the respective module description).

PROFIBUS DP is based on the physics of the RS485 interface. Data transfer is controlled using a hybrid bus access procedure: Active stations receive communication rights via a token passing procedure and can then access all stations on the network according to the master-slave principle. The maximum time of circulation for a token can be configured, which results in a defined cycle time.Access represents various services for the user for both cyclic and for acyclic data transfer.This bus controller makes it possible to connect X2X Link I/O nodes to PROFIBUS DP. It supports PROFIBUS DP with all of its options and other additional properties. In addition to the device, module and channel diagnostics provided in the PROFIBUS standard, it is also possible, for example, to switch to the slot diagnostics option in S7 format. X20 or other modules based on X2X Link can be connected to the bus controller. The configuration of the modular system is optimally supported by PROFIBUS DP.With multifunction modules, the bus controller supports only the default function model in the event of automatic configuration by the bus controller (see the respective module description).
