X20(c)BC0083

1 General information
The bus controller makes it possible to connect X2X Link I/O nodes to POWERLINK. It is also possible to operate
the X2X Link cycle synchronously 1:1 or synchronous to POWERLINK using a prescaler.
POWERLINK is a standard protocol for Fast Ethernet with hard real-time characteristics. The POWER-
LINK Standardization Group (EPSG) ensures that the standard remains open and is continually developed:
www.ethernet-powerlink.org.
• POWERLINK
• I/O configuration and firmware update via the fieldbus
• Integrated hub for economical wiring

1.1 Coated modules

Coated modules are X20 modules with a protective coating for the electronics component. This coating protects
X20c modules from condensation and corrosive gases.
The modules' electronics are fully compatible with the corresponding X20 modules.
For simplification purposes, only images and module IDs of uncoated modules are used in this data
sheet.
The coating has been certified according to the following standards:
• Condensation: BMW GS 95011-4, 2x 1 cycle
• Corrosive gas: EN 60068-2-60, method 4, exposure 21 days

1.1.1 Starting temperature

The starting temperature describes the minimum permissible ambient temperature in a voltage-free state at the
time the coated module is switched on. This is permitted to be as low as -40°C. During operation, the conditions
as specified in the technical data continue to apply.

Information:
It is important to absolutely ensure that there is no forced cooling by air currents in the closed control
cabinet, e.g. due to the use of a fan or ventilation slots.

3.2.1 LED status indicators

Figure LED Color Status Description

S/E1) Green Off No power supply or mode NOT_ACTIVE.
The controlled node (CN) is either not supplied with power or it is in state
NOT_ACTIVE. The CN waits in this state for about 5 s after a restart. Communi-
cation is not possible with the CN. If no POWERLINK communication is detected
during these 5 s, the CN changes to state BASIC_ETHERNET (flickering).
If POWERLINK communication is detected before this time expires, however,
the CN immediately changes to state PRE_OPERATIONAL_1.
Flickering Mode BASIC_ETHERNET.
The CN has not detected any POWERLINK communication. In this state, it is
possible to communicate directly with the CN (e.g. with UDP, IP).
If POWERLINK communication is detected in this state, the CN changes to state
PRE_OPERATIONAL_1.
Single flash Mode PRE_OPERATIONAL_1.
When operating on a POWERLINK V1 manager, the CN immediately changes
to state PRE_OPERATIONAL_2.
When operating on a POWERLINK V2 manager, the CN waits until an SoC frame
is received and then changes to state PRE_OPERATIONAL_2.
Double flash Mode PRE_OPERATIONAL_2.
The CN is normally configured by the manager in this state. It is then switched to
state READY_TO_OPERATE by command (POWERLINK V2) or by setting flag
"Data valid" in the output data (POWERLINK V1).
Triple flash Mode READY_TO_OPERATE.
In a POWERLINK V1 network, the CN switches to state OPERATIONAL auto-
matically as soon as input data is present.
In a POWERLINK V2 network, the manager switches to state OPERATIONAL
by command.
On Mode OPERATIONAL.
PDO mapping is active, and cyclic data is evaluated.
Blinking Mode STOPPED.
Output data is not being output, and no input data is being provided. It is only
possible to switch to or leave this state after the manager has given the appro-
priate command.
Red On The controlled node (CN) is in an error state (failed Ethernet frames, increased
number of collisions on the network, etc.).
If an error occurs in the following states, the red LED is superimposed by the
green flashing LED:
• PRE_OPERATIONAL_1
• PRE_OPERATIONAL_2
• READY_TO_OPERATE

Note:
• Several red blinking signals are displayed immediately after the device
is switched on. This is not an error, however.
• The LED is lit red for CNs with configured physical node number 0 but that
have not yet been assigned a node number via dynamic node allocation
(DNA).
L/A IFx Green On The link to the remote station is established.
Blinking The link to the remote station is established, and Ethernet activity is taking place
on the bus.
1) The Status/Error LED "S/E" is a green/red dual LED.

System stop error codes

A system stop error can occur due to incorrect configuration or defective hardware.
The error code is indicated by LED "S/E" blinking red. The blinking signal of the error code consists of 4 switch-on
phases with short (150 ms) or long (600 ms) duration. The error code is repeated every 2 seconds.

3.2.2 POWERLINK node number

The node number for the POWERLINK node is set using the two number switches.
Switch position Description
0x00 Only permitted when operating the POWERLINK node in DNA mode.
0x01 - 0xEF Node number of the POWERLINK node. Operation as a controlled node (CN).
0xF0 - 0xFF Reserved, switch position not permitted.

3.3 Dynamic node allocation (DNA)

Most POWERLINK bus controllers have the ability to dynamically assign node numbers. This has the following
advantages:
• No setting of the node number switch
• Easier installation
• Reduced error sources
For information regarding configuration as well as an example, see Automation Help → Communication → POW-
ERLINK → General information → Dynamic node allocation (DNA)

3.4 SG3

This module is not supported on SG3 target systems.

3.5 SG4

The module comes with preinstalled firmware. The firmware is also part of the Automation Runtime operating
system for the PLC. With different versions, the Automation Runtime firmware is loaded onto the module.
The latest firmware is made available automatically when updating Automation Runtime.
