B&R X20PS9400
Product Introduction:
The B&R X20PS9400 is a redundant DC power supply module designed for the B&R X20 I/O system. It provides 24 V DC output power to the entire X20 bus and all connected I/O modules. The redundant design ensures continuous operation even if one power source fails, making it suitable for safety-critical and high-availability applications.

Working Principle:
The X20PS9400 accepts a wide-range AC input (100–240 V AC) and converts it to a regulated 24 V DC output through a high-efficiency switched-mode power supply (SMPS) topology. The redundant design uses two independent power conversion stages that feed the same output bus. A control circuit continuously monitors both stages and seamlessly switches to the backup stage if the primary stage fails, ensuring zero interruption to connected I/O modules.
Advantages & Highlights:
- Guaranteed system uptime through true redundancy
- Wide input voltage range eliminates the need for transformers
- High efficiency (>90%) reduces heat generation and energy costs
- Compact form factor fits standard X20 mounting rail
- Comprehensive diagnostics enable predictive maintenance
- Compliant with EN 61131-2 for programmable controller power supplies
Applicable Industries:
- Packaging machinery
- Printing and converting machines
- Material handling and conveyor systems
- CNC machine tools
- Plastics processing equipment
- Food and beverage processing
- Automotive manufacturing lines
Installation Requirements:
- Mount on DIN rail TS 35 (EN 60715)
- Ensure minimum 10 mm clearance above and below the module for ventilation
- Connect input power using min. 1.5 mm² copper conductors
- Connect output using min. 2.5 mm² copper conductors
- Torque screw terminals to 0.8 Nm
- For redundant operation, install a second X20PS9400 in the adjacent slot
Usage Precautions:
- Do not exceed 10 A total output current under any condition
- Do not connect inductive loads directly without suppression diodes
- Verify input voltage range before initial power-up
- Ensure proper grounding of the protective earth conductor
- Do not operate in environments with corrosive gases or conductive dust
- Replace only with identical model X20PS9400 in redundant configuration
