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
