PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
FANUC A20B-8101-0180 - I/O Link-i Connection Module
The FANUC A20B-8101-0180 is an I/O Link-i Connection Module designed for integration within FANUC CNC and robotic control systems. This printed circuit board facilitates high-speed, real-time communication between the main controller and distributed I/O devices via the proprietary FANUC I/O Link-i serial bus. It serves as a critical interface for expanding I/O capabilities in complex industrial automation architectures, including machine tools and material handling systems.
Technical Specifications:
- SERIES/FAMILY: A20B-8101 Series
- COMPONENT TYPE: I/O Link-i Connection Module / Interface Board
- ELECTRICAL SPECS: Operates on internal logic voltages supplied by the host backplane or controller. Typical I/O Link-i bus power requirements are derived from the connected I/O units.
- MECHANICAL/PHYSICAL: Printed Circuit Board (PCB) form factor, designed for internal mounting within a control unit or specific FANUC module.
- INTERFACE/CONTROL:
- COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL: FANUC I/O Link-i (proprietary high-speed serial bus)
- CONNECTORS: Specific connectors for I/O Link-i master/slave communication and internal bus integration.
- ENVIRONMENTAL/MOUNTING:
- IP RATING: Typically IP20 (for internal cabinet mounting)
- COOLING METHOD: Passive convection cooling
- MOUNTING STYLE: Internal PCB mounting, often on a backplane or within a dedicated slot in a FANUC controller unit.
- COMPATIBILITY/APPLICATION: FANUC CNC systems (e.g., 0i, 30i series), FANUC robot controllers, and other industrial automation systems utilizing the FANUC I/O Link-i network for distributed input/output management.
