The B&R X20DOF322 digital output module is part of the modular B&R X20 I/O System, designed for distributed automation control and reliable machine operation. With 16 independent digital outputs, this module supports 24 VDC source‑type outputs through 1‑wire connections, making it ideal for controlling solenoids, contactors, indicators, and other field devices in industrial environments.

Each output channel includes integrated protection and thermal shutdown to enhance durability against overloads and short‑circuit conditions. Output status is visible via LED indicators and can also be monitored through software diagnostics, improving troubleshooting and machine maintenance.

The module consumes minimal power and mounts efficiently with a 12.5 mm pitch to save space in controller cabinets. It requires a B&R bus module (such as X20BM11 or X20BM15) and compatible X20 terminal blocks to form a complete I/O station. Complete PLC systems using the X20 I/O range are widely used across packaging machinery, factory automation, conveyor systems, and process control installations.
