Information

Overview Downloads Applications / Compatibility Product Precautions
  • B&R X20IF1086-2 extends the controller network over multimode fiber, allowing the same interface hardware to operate as a managing or controlled node.
Physical layer: 100BASE-FX
Network rate: 100 Mbit/s
Optical port: 1 duplex LC
The duplex LC port uses the 100BASE-FX physical layer. Its optical connection electrically separates the PLC from the POWERLINK segment and supports 62.5/125 or 50/125 micrometre multimode fiber.

The permitted span depends on operating mode: POWERLINK allows up to 2 km between stations, while Ethernet TCP/IP is limited to 400 m. Optical budget also depends on the fiber, at 11 dB for 62.5/125 micrometre and 7.5 dB for 50/125 micrometre cable.

POWERLINK operation is half-duplex; full-duplex is available in Ethernet mode only. The project firmware and station settings must match the network role, and successful optical link establishment must be followed by cyclic communication verification.
Controller platform reference: B&R POWERLINK Interface. Use the applicable installation instructions.
Original B&R technical material applicable to X20IF1086-2, covering function, interfaces and operating limits. Installation topics include: assign the optical network role, check the fiber budget, restore the lc connection.
Original manufacturer pages retain their technical context. Use the Apter Power guide with the applicable manufacturer instructions and approved installation design.
System and supply context: The powerlink interface is applied in the X20 controller / POWERLINK interface / Multimode fiber / Remote network node arrangement. Select associated equipment for the actual channel or installation.

Application scope: The technical values apply to this model in the specified installation and configuration. The examples below address the stated product function.
Prepare B&R X20IF1086-2 for its configured installation using these checks.
Managing versus controlled node

Record whether the installed interface is the managing node or a controlled node before removing it.

Project firmware level

Compare the Automation Studio hardware entry and firmware upgrade with the controller project.

Match the multimode core

Identify both fiber cores and connector ends.

Separate loss and distance limits

Calculate the installed fiber and connector losses against the applicable 11 dB or 7.5 dB budget.

Keep the optical ends clean

Isolate the controller according to its service procedure before changing the interface.

Retain the network identity

Restore the station-number selection and network role before returning communication to service.

Technical notes

Project firmware level: Compare the Automation Studio hardware entry and firmware upgrade with the controller project. The replacement receives its project firmware automatically, so keep the machine in its maintenance state during initialization.

Keep the optical ends clean: Isolate the controller according to its service procedure before changing the interface. Inspect the LC connector seating and restore the labeled optical pair without stressing the fiber bend or pulling directly on the cable.

Check loss-of-network response: Use the approved network test to confirm the controller reaction when the optical path or managing node is lost. Restore the connection and ensure recovery is consistent with the configured network behavior before releasing the machine.

FAQ View All FAQ

  • Can X20IF1086-2 use an ordinary RJ45 Ethernet cable?
    No. Its port is duplex LC for multimode optical fiber, not a copper Ethernet socket.
  • Why does X20IF1086-2 have different Ethernet and POWERLINK distance limits?
    The allowed segment is mode-dependent: 400 m for Ethernet TCP/IP and 2 km for POWERLINK. The selected mode and optical power budget must both be satisfied.
  • Which fiber offers the larger optical budget on X20IF1086-2?
    The 62.5/125 micrometre fiber option has an 11 dB budget, compared with 7.5 dB for 50/125 micrometre fiber.
  • Does X20IF1086-2 negotiate its Ethernet speed automatically?
    No. Autonegotiation is not supported; the interface operates at 100 Mbit/s.
  • When is full-duplex operation available on X20IF1086-2?
    Full-duplex is available in Ethernet mode. POWERLINK mode does not support full-duplex operation.
  • What does an illuminated L/A X1 indicator on X20IF1086-2 establish?
    A steady light establishes a link to the remote station. Blinking indicates link plus Ethernet activity; neither alone proves the application data are correct.
  • How does firmware reach X20IF1086-2 after replacement?
    Firmware belongs to the Automation Studio project, and the module is automatically brought to that project level. Updating the available firmware requires the appropriate hardware upgrade.
  • Why should the hardware revision of X20IF1086-2 be included in the power calculation?
    Power consumption is 1.8 W from revision D0, while earlier revisions require 2 W. The controller expansion budget must allow the actual revision.
