B&R X20D19371
Product Series: B&R X20 I/O System (X20D Series)
Product Introduction: The X20D19371 is a 16-channel digital output module with electromechanical relay outputs for the B&R X20 distributed I/O system. Relay outputs provide galvanic isolation between the I/O module and the field load, enabling switching of both AC and DC loads including high-current and high-voltage applications. This module is ideal for applications requiring voltage-free contacts or mixed AC/DC load switching.

Applicable Industries:
- Solenoid valve control (pneumatic/hydraulic)
- Motor starter contactor control
- Alarm and indicator light driving
- Heater element switching (AC loads)
- Safety relay output replacement
- Mixed AC/DC load applications (e.g., lamp + solenoid on same module)
Installation Requirements:
- DIN rail 35 mm (EN 60715)
- Wire size: 0.14–2.5 mm² copper conductors
- For AC loads: use appropriate fuse/MCB per channel (max 2 A)
- For inductive loads: install RC snubber or varistor across load (recommended)
- Minimum 10 mm spacing between modules for heat dissipation
Usage Precautions:
- Maximum per-channel current: 2 A — do not exceed
- Maximum switching frequency: 10 operations per second (continuous), 120 operations per minute (sustained)
- Do not switch loads exceeding rated voltage (250V AC / 30V DC)
- For highly inductive loads, use external suppression to extend relay life
- Relay outputs are slower than transistor outputs — not suitable for high-speed PWM
Advantages & Highlights:
- Voltage-free relay contacts — switch AC and DC with same module
- 10 million mechanical operations — exceptional longevity
- Full galvanic isolation per channel — safe for mixed-voltage systems
- Changeover contact (NO + NC) provides flexibility for interlock circuits
