Information
- B&R X20SM1446-1 combines local motion generation with motor-current control, homing and encoder feedback for a single positioning axis.
Power stage: 24–48 V DC ±25%; 5 A nominal
Positioning: Up to 256 microsteps per full step
Four 24 V inputs support reference switches, travel limits or an asymmetrical ABR encoder. Encoder evaluation and internally calculated position provide different feedback paths; configure the intended function before assigning the terminals.
Motor identification evaluates the winding characteristics, while a configurable stall threshold monitors loading. Communication life-sign supervision and supply or temperature monitoring can shut down the motor; these operating functions must be evaluated within the machine safety design.

Application scope: Suitable motion functions include indexed travel, homing and load-supervised positioning within the configured motor limits.
Indexed feeding
Local target-position and acceleration settings support repeated feed movements.Reference search
Limit-switch and stop-controlled homing options establish the machine origin.Encoder feedback
ABR evaluation checks the movement of a compatible 24 V encoder.Holding duty
Separate holding-current settings reduce unnecessary motor heating during dwell.
Set winding current for the connected motor; limit 10 A demand to one second.
Provide the required slow-blow line fuse of no more than 10 A.
Resolve the choice between ABR feedback, reference switches and digital inputs.
Test travel limits at controlled speed before normal production.
Establish the threshold with the actual motor, load and acceleration.
Evaluate recovery after supply, temperature or communication shutdown.

Technical notes
Signal and interface: The 10 A peak rating is limited to one second. Match winding current, motion duty and supply capacity rather than treating it as a continuous rating.
Installation boundary: The 24 V input circuitry is not a 5 V encoder interface. The channel is isolated from the bus but not from its I/O supply.
Technical basis: B&R X20SM1446-1 Data sheet V1.56. Ratings apply to the X20SM1446-1 motor bridge and its specified supply and mounting conditions.
FAQ View All FAQ
-
Which motor can B&R X20SM1446-1 control?It controls one two-phase bipolar stepper motor supplied at 24 to 48 VDC ±25% with 5 A nominal current.
-
What peak current is available from B&R X20SM1446-1?The peak rating is 10 A maximum for one second, while continuous nominal motor current is 5 A.
-
How fine is the step resolution of B&R X20SM1446-1?The module supports up to 256 microsteps per full step, with current automatically matched to the configured values.
-
Can B&R X20SM1446-1 evaluate an encoder?Yes. Its four 24 V inputs can be configured for one asymmetrical ABR incremental encoder up to 50 kHz.
-
What fuse is required for B&R X20SM1446-1?B&R requires an external motor-supply line fuse rated no more than 10 A with slow-blow characteristic.
-
What does motor identification do on B&R X20SM1446-1?It evaluates coil characteristics and returns feedback that can reveal wiring errors or an incorrect motor type.
-
