The introduction of the X2X+ backplane bus as an option by B&R significantly enhances the X20 system's performance, multiplying its efficiency by four. Notably, all existing X20 I/O modules are compatible with the X2X+ system, meaning higher-performance machines can be developed by simply incorporating bus modules.
Cost-Effectiveness in High-Volume Applications
The new bus system offers distinct benefits in scenarios where numerous I/O modules or substantial data volumes are present, and where rapid cycle times are essential. It allows for dual cycle times, enabling less time-sensitive data to be transmitted at a slower pace, thereby reducing network and processor workloads. This feature affords the reliability of managing complex, high-speed processes with standard, cost-efficient hardware.
Enhanced Data Handling and Sampling Rates
With X2X+, there are notable improvements in data transfer rates and response times, which are accelerated by a factor of four. This increase in bandwidth facilitates the management of larger data sets more effectively and allows for higher sampling rates. Such advancements are particularly beneficial for tasks like vibration measurement, resulting in more precise condition monitoring across various applications.
