B&R eliminates this seeming contradiction with the high degree of scalability of their control systems. This makes it possible for B&R to cover all requirements with a single platform – from the smallest controllers all the way up to CNC, robotics and process control applications. What‘s more, this platform can be programmed and configured – regardless of the hardware being used – with Automation Studio. This compatibility reduces development costs while at the same time protecting investments made throughout the entire life cycle of the machine. Programmable logic controllers With a performance range reaching all the way to Intel® Atom™ CPUs, the X20 system can handle all tasks large or small. This system is extremely compact and highly modular as a result of its unique "slice" system. Perfectly integrated fieldbus connections provide the highest degree of freedom for decentralized machine and system concepts. Slice-based I/O and control system There are many different slice-based I/O and control systems available on the market, but the X20 system from B&R is the only one that lives up to the motto "Perfection in Automation". Born from experience gained from applications all over the world, numerous conversations with customers and with the aim for more simple, economical and secure usage, the X20 system is a new universal solution for any automated task in machine and system manufacturing. Condition monitoring 3 x 1 = One Three subcomponents – terminal block, electronics module and bus module – come together to form this module. This modularity results in a system that combines the advantages of both rack and I/O slice systems: < Prewiring without the module < Hot pluggable electronics < Extra bus slots for added options B&R Corporate Headquarters Bernecker + Rainer Industrie-Elektronik Ges.m.b.H.
