Product Series: B&R X20 AT Series (Analog Temperature Input) Product Overview: The X20AT6402 is a 4-channel analog input module designed for RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) signal acquisition. It supports Pt100, Pt1000, Ni100, Ni1000, and Cu50 sensors with 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire connection modes. The module delivers 16-bit resolution with per-channel galvanic isolation.
Product Overview: The X20AT4222 is a 4-channel analog input module designed for thermocouple signal acquisition. It is part of the B&R X20 I/O system and is engineered for high-precision temperature measurement in industrial automation environments. The module features galvanic channel-to-channel isolation and supports 8 thermocouple types directly.
The full Windows 10 IoT Enterprise environment is the most powerful HMI platform in the B&R portfolio. It runs B&R Automation Studio, MATLAB/Simulink, Node-RED, Docker containers, Python scripts, and any Windows-compatible SCADA/HMI software. The Intel Core i5-6200U (2.3/2.8 GHz) delivers ~3× the processing power of Atom-based panels, enabling machine vision processing, complex multi-axis trajectory planning, and edge analytics directly on the panel. 15" XGA (1024×768) display provides ~3.5× the screen area of PP400, supporting detailed process graphics, multi-window layouts, and large trend displays.
The 10.4" SVGA display (800×600) provides ~1.7× the screen area of the 7" PP400 panel, enabling more complex visualizations with multiple alarm windows, trend charts, and recipe tables on a single screen. 2 GB RAM supports larger projects with up to 1000 visualization screens and PLC programs up to 5000 steps. Dual Ethernet ports enable network redundancy (MRP) or separation of control and IT networks. The RS-232/422/485 serial port provides legacy device connectivity (barcode scanners, scales, modems). 4 GB eMMC provides double the storage of PP400 for data logging and recipe storage.
Material Composition: 28 strands of 0.26 mm tinned copper per conductor (Class 5 flexibility) ensure easy routing in tight spaces. PVC insulation rated to 70°C continuous provides basic electrical isolation. PVC outer sheath offers moderate mechanical protection and chemical resistance — suitable for control cabinet wiring, sensor power feeds, and low-power actuator connections.
The full Windows 10 IoT Enterprise environment enables running B&R Automation Studio, MATLAB/Simulink, Node-RED, Docker containers, and any standard Windows application simultaneously. The i7-7700TE processor (2.4/3.8 GHz) provides 4× the performance of Atom-based panels, enabling complex multi-axis motion control, machine vision processing, and edge analytics on the same device. 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports support network redundancy (MRP/RSTP) and separation of control traffic from IT traffic. The onboard EtherCAT master connects directly to ACOPOS servo drives with 1 ms cycle time — no external master card required.
Structural Features: The drive uses a book-style compact housing (106 × 115 × 62 mm) with screw-terminal power connections and M12 connector for encoder and I/O. The IGBT power stage operates at 16 kHz PWM switching frequency, delivering sinusoidal motor current with < 5% THD. The integrated brake chopper handles regenerative energy up to 100% of rated power without external braking resistor (for applications within rated current).
Distinguishing Features from White Variant (4PPC70.101G-20 W): All hardware specifications, processor performance, memory configuration, communication interfaces, and software capabilities are identical to the white variant. The sole difference is the front bezel color: RAL 9005 black instead of RAL 9003 white. The black bezel is specified for applications requiring aesthetic uniformity with dark machine panels or reduced glare in brightly lit environments. The black PUR-coated surface also offers slightly higher UV resistance than the white variant.
Material Composition: Conductors are fine-stranded Class 5 copper per IEC 60228 (560 strands of 0.20 mm diameter each) for maximum flexibility. Insulation is cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) rated to 90°C continuous. The PUR outer jacket provides exceptional resistance to cutting oils, hydraulic fluids, coolants, and mechanical abrasion — critical for servo motor environments in CNC and machining centers.
The unit incorporates active PFC (Power Factor Correction) achieving power factor > 0.95 at full load. Built-in protections include: short-circuit protection (auto-recovery), overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, overtemperature protection (thermal shutdown at 85°C internal). A DC OK relay contact (changeover, 250 V AC / 5 A) provides status signaling to the host controller. The wide input voltage range (323–528 V AC) ensures uninterrupted operation during grid voltage sags and swells.
Structural & Mechanical Features: Motor employs a square flange mounting design (NEMA 23 equivalent) with 4 threaded mounting holes on a 140 mm x 140 mm bolt pattern. Rotor is dynamically balanced to G6.3 per ISO 1940-1, ensuring minimal vibration at rated speed. Pre-assembled motor cable exits radially from the rear end, terminated with M23 17-pin connector on the drive side and M23 12-pin connector on the motor side. The integrated multi-turn absolute encoder eliminates the need for homing routines after power loss — absolute position is retained across power cycles.
Model Series: 3BP (Power Supply for X20 I/O Systems) Product Overview: The 3BP152.4 is a 24 V DC / 240 W switch-mode power supply from B&R's 3BP product line, designed for higher-power X20 I/O system configurations requiring more current for multiple I/O modules, servo drives, and additional field devices. It provides regulated 24 V DC output with universal AC input and full protection features.
