B&R Automation: X2X+ Backplane Bus – Four Times More Performance

B&R now offers the X2X+ backplane bus as an option, increasing the performance of the X20 system by a factor of four. And because all existing X20 I/O modules are already compatible with X2X+, all it takes to build more powerful machines are bus modules. The advantages of this new bus are particularly apparent in applications that involve many I/O modules or high data volume but where short cycle times are imperative.
