B&R offers the X2X+ backplane bus as an option, increasing the performance of the X20 system by a factor of four, and all existing X20 I/O modules are already compatible with X2X+. This new bus is geared toward applications that involve many I/O modules or high data volume but where short cycle times are imperative. It is even possible to set up two separate cycle times so that less time-critical data is transported more slowly and generates less network and processor load. In this way, complex high-speed processes can be controlled reliably using cost-effective standard hardware.
