B&R+7EX470.50-1

Description

The B&R 7EX470.50-1 Module is a CAN bus controller module used in various industrial automation systems. Here’s a breakdown of the information:

Product Name: B&R 7EX470.50-1 CAN Bus Controller Module

Product Description:

• This module allows communication and data exchange between devices in an industrial automation system using the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus protocol. CAN is a widely used protocol for communication in real-time control systems due to its:
  • Reliability
  • Deterministic behavior (guaranteed message delivery times)
  • Multi-master capability (multiple devices can initiate communication)
• The 7EX470.50-1 module enables:
  • Connecting various B&R and third-party devices supporting the CAN protocol.
  • Transferring process data, control signals, and configuration information between these devices.

Key Features:

• Dual CAN interfaces: Supports communication on two independent CAN bus channels, allowing for increased network flexibility and message handling capacity.
• Electrical isolation: Isolates the CAN bus interface from the internal electronics of the module, improving noise immunity and safety.
• Network configuration: Can be configured as a CAN node within the network, participating in message exchange according to the network configuration.

Additional Information:

• The specific parameters, functionalities, and configuration options might vary depending on the model revision and configuration within the control system.

• Detailed information, including technical specifications, wiring diagrams, configuration details, and user manuals, is crucial for proper use and can be found through the following resources:

  • Consulting the specific documentation for your B&R control system model and revision. This documentation will provide details about compatible communication modules and their functionalities within the system.
