B&R 3IF152.60-2 REV.C0

Product Introduction

The B&R 3IF152.60-2 REV.C0 is an 8-channel analog input module for the B&R X20 series I/O system. It acquires current (4–20 mA) and voltage (0–10 V) signals from field sensors including pressure transmitters, temperature transmitters, flow meters, and level sensors. The module features 16-bit A/D conversion, channel-to-channel isolation, and is designed for use in machine automation, packaging, and process control applications. REV.C0 is the third hardware revision of this module.

Working Principle

Each analog input channel passes through a precision shunt resistor (250 Ω for 4–20 mA) or a voltage divider (for 0–10 V). The conditioned signal is fed into a 24-bit sigma-delta ADC (ADS1256), which operates at 16-bit effective resolution. The digital value is transmitted across a 500 V DC galvanic isolation barrier to the X20 bus interface. The B&R CPU (X20 CP1541, CP1548, etc.) reads the values via the X20 bus and applies user-configured scaling and engineering unit conversion in the Automation Studio software.

Advantages & Highlights

16-bit resolution — superior to competing 12-bit modules in the same class
500 V DC isolation — eliminates ground loops in multi-sensor installations
Auto-ranging — no manual jumper settings required for 4–20 mA vs 0–10 V
Diagnostic buffer — captures transient events that standard scanning misses
Fully compatible with B&R Automation Studio 4.x software
REV.C0 improvements: updated ADC for lower noise, revised terminal block layout for faster wiring

Applicable Industries

Industry	Application
Packaging	Fill level, pressure, temperature monitoring
Machine Building	Hydraulic pressure, spindle load, coolant flow
Food & Beverage	Tank level, temperature, flow rate
Plastics	Melt pressure, mold temperature
Water/Wastewater	Flow metering, chemical dosing

Model Series

Part Number	Channels	Input Type
3IF152.60-1	4	4–20 mA / 0–10 V
3IF152.60-2	8	4–20 mA / 0–10 V
3IF154.60-2	8	Thermocouple (TC)
3IF156.60-2	8	RTD (PT100)

Installation Requirements

Mount on DIN rail TS35 with at least 10 mm spacing between modules
Connect 24 V DC power to the X20 bus via the first module in the chain
Use shielded twisted-pair cables for analog signals — maximum run 50 m
Ground cable shields at the controller end only
Verify input signal range matches module configuration in Automation Studio before commissioning

Usage Precautions

Do not apply voltage > 12 V DC or current > 24 mA to any input — permanent damage to the ADC
Never disconnect sensors while the module is powered — inductive kickback can destroy the input stage
Differential mode uses 2 channels per measurement — plan channel allocation accordingly
Update Automation Studio to version 4.5.2 or later for REV.C0 compatibility
Calibrate annually using a precision signal source (Fluke 754 or equivalent)
