B&R X20CA0E61.00200 Controller Module

B&R X20CA0E61.00200 (NOT controller module — it is an Ethernet / POWERLINK connection cable)

 

 

This model X20CA0E61.00200 is NOT a controller module at all.
It is a B&R industrial Ethernet / POWERLINK connection cable (RJ45 to RJ45, 2 meters).

Product Information

• Brand: B&R Automation (Austria)
• Part Number: X20CA0E61.00200
• Type: Industrial Ethernet / POWERLINK cable
• Connector: RJ45 → RJ45
• Length: 2 meters
• Category: Cat5e industrial data cable
• Function: Data communication between PLC / X20 modules

What it actually is

This is a communication cable used inside B&R X20 automation systems, meaning:

• Connects PLC controller ↔ I/O modules
• Connects POWERLINK network devices
• Transfers Ethernet industrial data signals
• Used inside control cabinets

It does NOT process signals or control logic.

System Role (Simple)

PLC / X20 controller
→ X20CA0E61.00200 cable (this item)
→ I/O modules / drives / devices
→ industrial network communication

So it is simply a “network connection cable for automation systems.”

Key Features

• Industrial-grade shielded Ethernet cable
• High-speed data transmission (up to 1 Gbps class Cat5e)
• Suitable for POWERLINK real-time communication
• Shielded design for noise resistance
• Flexible industrial wiring use
• Flame-retardant PVC jacket

Typical Applications

• B&R X20 PLC systems
• Industrial Ethernet networks
• Machine automation systems
• Drive communication systems
• Control cabinet wiring
• POWERLINK fieldbus connections

Advantages

• Stable industrial network communication
• High noise immunity (shielded cable)
• Reliable real-time data transmission
• Factory-ready plug-and-play cable
• Designed for harsh industrial environments

Important Notes

• Not PLC CPU ❌
• Not I/O module ❌
• Not controller module ❌
• Not power supply ❌
• It is a communication Ethernet/POWERLINK cable ✔

Precautions

• Must be installed with proper RJ45 locking and routing
• Avoid sharp bending (minimum bend radius required)
• Do not mix with standard office Ethernet cables in critical systems
• Ensure proper grounding of shield for noise protection
• Keep away from high-power cables to avoid interference
