Information
- B&R X20cDC2190 reads position and derived speed from magnetostrictive measuring rods through start/stop interfaces, rather than through analog voltage inputs.
Measured paths: 4 maximum
Interface level: RS422 differential
Position resolution is 0.01 mm over a +/-5.2 m measurement range. Speed resolution is 0.1 mm/s over +/-3.2 m/s, using position values spaced 100 ms apart. RS422 differential signaling carries the start and stop information.
Rod parameters can be uploaded with EP or DPI/IP, but rod length and ultrasonic speed are not automatically applied to the measurement configuration. Parameter transfer freezes existing position and speed values, so the application must manage validity during this interval.

Application scope: The technical values apply to this model in the specified installation and configuration. The examples below address the stated product function.
Multiple-position rods
Acquire up to four magnet positions through two rod connections.Position and speed feedback
Read displacement and derived velocity from the same ultrasonic sensor signals.Rod parameter communication
Use EP or DPI/IP to read supported transducer information during setup or replacement.Coated I/O installations
Use the coated module where its humidity rating is needed, within the IP20 installation boundary.
Record which physical rod serves each input and how its magnets map to the four measurement paths.
Retain the full X20cDC2190 identity and the hardware revision.
Add the connected rod current demands and compare them with the 150 mA maximum sensor supply.
Reconnect start and stop pairs according to the pinout and preserve the shield connection at the bus module.
Match Start/Stop, EP or DPI/IP to the connected transducer.
Read rod length and ultrasonic speed when the protocol permits it, then compare them with the approved measurement settings.

Technical notes
Verify coated hardware and revision: Retain the full X20cDC2190 identity and the hardware revision. The coating does not change the IP20 enclosure requirement, and sensor-supply short-circuit protection depends on revision D0 or later.
Choose the rod protocol: Match Start/Stop, EP or DPI/IP to the connected transducer. An unsupported selected protocol can time out and revert to normal rod treatment, so verify actual communication rather than relying on the chosen setting.
Retain rod-specific settings: Save the rod protocol, magnet allocation, length, ultrasonic speed and supply thresholds with the accepted tests. Keep these settings associated with the exact rod identity so a future sensor replacement can be evaluated accurately.
FAQ View All FAQ
-
How can four magnets be distributed on X20cDC2190?The two rod connections support four magnets in total. Arrangements include two per rod, three on one and one on the other, or four on one rod.
-
Is X20cDC2190 an analog input for a 0 to 10 V position signal?No. It communicates through RS422-level start/stop interfaces for ultrasonic linear position sensors, including EP and DPI/IP protocols.
-
How does X20cDC2190 calculate speed?It calculates speed from two position values 100 ms apart, providing 0.1 mm/s resolution over a +/-3.2 m/s range.
-
Are uploaded rod length and sound velocity applied automatically by X20cDC2190?No. These values can be read, but the application decides whether to transfer rod length and ultrasonic speed into the corresponding measurement settings.
-
What happens to X20cDC2190 measurements during rod-parameter upload?Position measurement is unavailable during the upload. Existing position and speed data for the magnets are frozen and must not be mistaken for fresh measurements.
-
What supply monitoring can X20cDC2190 perform?Encoder overvoltage and undervoltage limits are configurable at +/-10%, +/-15%, +/-20% or +/-25%. The sensor supply is 24 V DC with 150 mA maximum current.
-
Does the coating of X20cDC2190 remove the need for a suitable enclosure?No. The coated module permits condensing operating humidity, but its degree of protection remains IP20 and the complete installation still needs an appropriate enclosure.
-
When does X20cDC2190 provide sensor-supply short-circuit protection?The sensor supply is short-circuit-proof from hardware revision D0. Confirm the actual revision rather than assuming this protection on an earlier unit.
