1.2 Safety guidelines
1.2.1 Introduction
Powerful and scalable automation systems (such as the X90 mobile product line), operating and control elements
from B&R are ideal industry solutions in the fields of agricultural technology, construction machinery, emergency
and communication vehicles as well as stationary systems. They were not designed, developed and manufactured
for any use involving serious risks or hazards that could lead to death, injury, serious physical impairment or loss
of any kind without the implementation of exceptionally stringent safety precautions. In particular, this includes the
use of these devices to monitor nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants, in flight control or flight safety systems
as well as in the control of mass transportation systems, medical life support systems or weapons systems.
When using automation systems or operating/monitoring devices as control systems in connection with a Soft PLC
(e.g. B&R Automation Runtime or comparable product) or Slot PLC (e.g. B&R LS251 or comparable product),
relevant safety precautions (e.g. the provision of safety devices such as emergency switch-off, etc.) must be ob-
served in accordance with applicable national and international regulations. This also applies to all other devices
connected to the system, such as drives.
All tasks such as the installation, commissioning and servicing of devices are only permitted to be carried out by
qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those familiar with the transport, mounting, installation, commissioning
and operation of devices who also have the appropriate qualifications (e.g. IEC 60364). National accident preven-
tion regulations must be observed.
The safety notices, connection descriptions (type plate and documentation) and limit values listed in the technical
data are to be read carefully before installation and commissioning and must be observed.
1.2.2 Intended use
Electronic devices are generally not failsafe. If the programmable logic controller, operating or monitoring device
or uninterruptible power supply fails, the user is responsible for ensuring that connected devices, such as motors,
are brought to a safe state.
1.2.3 Protection against electrostatic discharge
Electrical assemblies that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) must be handled accordingly.
1.2.3.1 Packaging
•Electrical assemblies with housing
... Do not require special ESD packaging but must be handled properly (see "Electrical assemblies with
housing" on page 7).
•Electrical assemblies without housing
... Are protected by ESD-suitable packaging.

General information
X90 mobile system User's manual V 1.20 - Translation of the original manual 7
1.2.3.2 Regulations for proper ESD handling
Electrical assemblies with housing
•Do not touch the connector contacts on the device (bus data contacts).
•Do not touch the connector contacts of connected cables.
•Do not touch the contact tips on circuit boards.
Electrical assemblies without housing
The following applies in addition to "Electrical assemblies with housing":
•All persons handling electrical assemblies and devices in which electrical assemblies are installed must
be grounded.
•Assemblies are only permitted to be touched on the narrow sides or front plate.
•Always place assemblies on suitable surfaces (ESD packaging, conductive foam, etc.).
Information: Metallic surfaces are not suitable surfaces!
•Assemblies must not be subjected to electrostatic discharges (e.g. due to charged plastics).
•A minimum distance of 10 cm from monitors or television sets must be maintained.
•Measuring instruments and devices must be grounded.
•Test probes of floating potential measuring instruments must be discharged briefly on suitable grounded
surfaces before measurement.
Individual components
•ESD protective measures for individual components are implemented throughout B&R (conductive floors,
shoes, wrist straps, etc.).
•The increased ESD protective measures for individual components are not required for handling B&R
products at customer locations.
1.2.4 Transport and storage
During transport and storage, devices must be protected against undue stress (mechanical stress, temperature,
humidity, aggressive atmosphere).
Devices contain components sensitive to electrostatic charges that can be damaged by improper handling. It is
therefore necessary to provide the required protective measures against electrostatic discharge when installing or
removing these devices (see "Protection against electrostatic discharge" on page 6).
1.2.5 Installation
•Installation must be performed according to this documentation using suitable equipment and tools.
•Devices are only permitted to be installed by qualified personnel when the power is switched off.
•General safety regulations and national accident prevention regulations must be observed.
•The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with relevant regulations (e.g. wire cross sec-
tion, fuse protection, protective ground connection).
•Take the necessary protective measures against electrostatic discharge (see "Protection against electro-
static discharge" on page 6).

1.2.6 Operation
1.2.6.1 Protection against touching electrical parts
To operate programmable logic controllers, operating and monitoring devices, and uninterruptible power supplies,
certain components must carry dangerous voltage levels. Touching one of these parts can result in a life-threatening
electric shock. This could lead to death, severe injury or damage to equipment.
Before turning on the programmable logic controller, operating/monitoring devices or uninterruptible power supply,
the housing must be properly grounded. Ground connections must be established even when testing or operating
operating/monitoring devices or the uninterruptible power supply for a short time!
Before turning the device on, all parts that carry voltage must be securely covered. During operation, all covers
must remain closed.
1.2.7 Environmentally friendly disposal
All B&R control components are designed to inflict as little harm on the environment as possible.
1.2.7.1 Separation of materials
It is necessary to separate out the different materials so that devices can undergo an environmentally friendly
recycling process.

2 System characteristics
2.1 The benchmark for automation
B&R continues the concept of the X20 control and I/O system in the X90 mobile product line. This allows B&R
technology to also be used in mobile and outdoor applications in very harsh environmental conditions.
The different product variants are freely configured based on X90 mobile modules. The X90 mobile product line thus
offers a scalable automation solution that is the perfect basis for very simple to high-performance, decentralized
requirements.
X90 mobile products have IP69K protection on all sides. The robust die-cast aluminum housing, which is also used
as a heat sink for power outputs, allowing housing surface temperatures ranging from -40 to 85°C.
For decentralized networking, the common CAN bus interface or Ethernet-based POWERLINK interface can be
flexibly combined. openSAFETY provides the basis for secure data transfer that meets PL e requirements.

2.2 X90 mobile CPUs
2.2.1 General information
The optimally scaled CPU series covers a wide range of requirements – from standard applications to the most
demanding applications with the highest performance requirements. Even cycle times of 400 μs can be used
effectively.
CAN bus, Ethernet and USB are already standard equipment at B&R. Networking and connecting USB devices
are therefore possible at no additional cost. In addition, each CPU can have a POWERLINK interface for hard
real-time communication. Although most requirements are covered by the standard equipment of the CPUs, there
are up to four multipurpose slots for additional interface modules.
2.2.2 B&R Automation Studio
B&R Automation Studio is the only programming tool needed for all platforms. It can be used to create application
software in all relevant IEC 61131-3 languages as well as C. Integrated HMI, NC and Soft CNC functionalities or
web server technologies round out the possible applications.
2.2.3 Individual configuration
With its industrial design, the X90 mobile system is not only a remote I/O system, but also a complete control so-
lution. Depending on requirements and the application, the X90 mobile family combines exactly those components
that are needed.
Figure 2: Modular and flexible design

2.3 Topology and application
2.3.1 Remote control units and I/Os on the vehicle bus
Decentralization is also becoming increasingly important in vehicle and special-purpose machine construction. The
reasons for this are obvious:
•Reduction of production costs
•Simplification of the wiring harness
•Flexible expansion of machine functionality
•Reduction of maintenance costs
•Easy option handling
•Lower overall system costs
The sensors/actuators and associated control electronics are therefore connected remotely directly in the engine
compartment, in the cabin or outdoors. The modular design of the B&R system makes it possible to adapt the
degree of automation to customer requirements.
2.4 Wiring without effort
Classic I/O systems are centrally located in the control cabinet. The cabling of sensors and actuators is complex.
Remote I/O modules only reach their full rationalization potential if additional distribution boxes can be completely
eliminated. I/O modules with IP69K protection for open use even in harsh environments are the solution here.
Prefabricated wiring harnesses simplify and shorten the assembly times directly at the machine or system. The
finished X90 mobile system configuration is already installed in the system and only needs to be connected to the
preinstalled wiring harnesses.
The X90 mobile system reduces the effort for manual wiring to a minimum.
2.4.1 Assemble, connect, ready
The four mounting points allow the X90 mobile system to be installed quickly and easily using the screws. The
customer can screw the device onto any flat mounting surface in any position. Vibrations in the environment also
have no influence on the functionality of the system due to the stable internal structure.
Due to the possibility of assembling the modules, the individual X90 mobile system is assembled at B&R and only
needs to be installed by the customer. This reduces cabling effort to a minimum.
Quick installation
Installation is quick and easy: The X90 mobile system
is fixed to a flat mounting surface with four M6 screws.
The mounting orientations are freely selectable and
possible in all directions.
4 option boards
An extensive range of components enables all require-
ments to be covered simply, cost-effectively and with-
out risk. Additional inputs, outputs or interfaces can be
supplemented by option boards.
CMC header
The CMC headers form the interface to the modules
and thus supply the complete system. Attaching the
connector is very simple: Push the connector into the
female connector and lock the connector in place by
pressing down the bracket.
M12 circular connector
With the X90 mobile system, the number and type of
field-assembled connectors can vary depending on
the use of modules. The connectors are D-coded (Eth-
ernet / POWERLINK). A distinction is made between
screw clamp terminal blocks and cage clamp terminal
blocks. The connectors are inserted into the coupling
and screwed tight.

2.5 Sophisticated mechanics
The X90 mobile system enables a slim and intelligent solution for commercial vehicles and mobile automation.
Robust design, optimal EMC protection and a modular design guarantee the stability required in industry and are
the prerequisite for installing and removing the X90 mobile system on any surface with ease.
The X90 mobile system has undergone a wide variety of tests. Results confirm that the device withstands enormous
environmental conditions due to its mechanics and that its performance is not impaired.
2.6 Diagnostics
Errors can only be found as quickly as possible with diagnostic options.
•Visual directly on the module via LED status indicator. Different states are also displayed differently, e.g.
green for OK, red for error.
•Via software in the cyclic data image. With the X90 mobile system, status data does not require any addi-
tional communication effort. The differences between theoretically possible bus speed and requirements
in practical operation are minimal. All necessary status data is always transferred cyclically.
•Expanded diagnostic data in acyclic data traffic without loss in performance. If a problem occurs, detailed
diagnostic data can be requested from the application by the respective module using an asynchronous
channel. This does not result in additional communication load and cycle times remain unchanged.

2.7 Embedded parameter chip
Information such as module type, serial number, functionality and version number is contained in the embedded
parameter chip of the X90 mobile module. This information is automatically evaluated by the programming envi-
ronment (Automation Studio) and by the application program. This prevents errors during both commissioning and
service. In addition, the system configuration can be automated and flexible variants are made possible.
For validated systems, it is becoming increasingly important to have module serial numbers that are unique world-
wide – as required by the FDA, for example.
2.8 Multifunction inputs and outputs
Multifunction inputs and outputs are used to cover the variability of the automation solution.
Each channel can be configured individually in the software for the required function.
In this way, for example, a level sensor that previously supplied a 0 to 10 V signal can be replaced by a new sensor
with a 4 to 20 mA signal without changing the control system.

2.9 Space for options
Depending on requirements and the application, the X90 mobile system family combines exactly the components
that are needed. Machine options can be easily implemented in different ways. Functions can be configured on
four option boards.

2.10 Flexibility for options
With the support of B&R Automation Studio, there is an optimized solution using I/O mapping.
Each I/O configuration is optimally created. However, the application software is already designed for all options.
Only the I/O channels that are actually available are mapped to the application program. If an expansion is required,
the additionally required hardware is simply connected and the mapping of the I/Os is changed.
It does not matter where the I/O mapping list is created:
•Manually in B&R Automation Studio
•With tools, e.g. with a database or a table calculation program
•Directly from an ERP system, just like the parts list for the machine
•Automatically in the application software, depending on the hardware used

IP: Protection against contact and ingress of foreign bodies and water
First number 6: Complete protection against contact, protection against ingress of dust.
Second number 9K: Water vapor is not permitted to penetrate in harmful quantities.
Important!
The following points must be taken into account to ensure IP69K protection:
•The union nuts on female/male connectors must be tightly secured with the specified tighten-
ing torque. For the tightening torque, see the module data sheet or section 3.7 "M12 circular
connector" on page 21.
•Female/Male connectors that are not being used must be closed with the included threaded
caps!
2.13 Shock and vibration resistance
Important!
The shock and vibration resistance applies under the condition that cables are properly installed.

3.3 Ground connection
The X90 mobile housing is electrically isolated from ground. We recommend grounding the housing to a chassis
connected to ground (negative pole of the battery) through the screw connection.
If the X90 mobile system is not mounted on a mobile machine, the ground connections must be provided via a
suitable ground rail.
We recommend providing the ground connections as close as possible to the X90 mobile device to ensure short
connection lines.
3.4 Horizontal and vertical installation
Due to the stable construction of the X90 mobile system, not only horizontal and vertical installation is possible,
but also any other desired angle.
The mounting surface should be as flat as possible. A heat dissipating mounting surface is recommended.
On the connector side, the clearance must be selected depending on the connector.

3.5 Installation instructions
Important!
Unused connectors (CMC header and M12 circular connector) must be sealed with suitable covers! It
is not recommended to install the X90 mobile system with the connection facing upwards. This could
lead to permanent stress on the single core seals due to standing water, ice or chemicals.
To ensure sufficient air circulation, a specified clearance of 10 mm must be provided. The clearances in the following
chapter "Installation with straight connector" apply to the connector side.
The clearance is valid for all X90 mobile variants.
