B&R X20 SO 6300 Digital output modules

special features with a synchronization unit that is able to meet all demands.

The measurement unit's 3 current inputs are suitable for both X: 1 A and X: 5 A current

transformers. Overcurrent resistance and the high resolution of the measurement unit

round off its features. For the voltage inputs, the value range can be configured between

480 VAC and 120 VAC.

The area of use includes 4-wire AC networks with a phase voltage up to 480 VAC and

3-wire systems, whereas L2 can be grounded (V-connection). The module can also handle

Aron measuring circuits.

The resulting measured values include the pure phase current; line-to-line voltage or phase

voltage; the effective, reactive and apparent power parts; the mains frequency; the power

factor and much more. In addition, peak values and energy meters are stored on the module

in nonvolatile memory. Depending on the configuration, it is also possible to use a digital

output as a pulse encoder for an external energy meter.

The synchronization unit doesn't just take the phasing and phase voltage into consideration;

integrated intelligence also monitors the rate of change and other parameters, allowing them

to influence when the synchronization output is switched. It is also possible to monitor a

generator using a large number of additional conditions. A total of 4 voltage inputs provide

substantial overall flexibility.

Monitoring functions expand the features of the module. Dependent overcurrent monitoring is

included, which utilizes the thermal capacity of the motor/generator to allow short overloads

while still providing full protection. The dependent, delayed imbalanced load monitoring used

to protect three-phase generator and three-phase networks from imbalanced load can be

adapted to the characteristics of different generator types using parameters while taking their

special thermal time constants into account.
