Description

X20 CPU – from standard applications up to the highest performance class

The optimally scaled X20 system CPU line satisfies a wide range of needs. It can be implemented anywhere, from standard applications to the most demanding applications with the highest performance requirements. It can even master cycle times of 100 µs.

Because the X20 CPU was designed for mounting rail installation in a control cabinet, up to 250 X20 I/O modules – 3000 channels – can be connected directly. This provides the highest performance as well as the advantages of the remote backplane.

Compact CPU – extremely compact, surprisingly powerful

With a width of 37.5 mm the X20 Compact CPUs are extremely compact, yet surprisingly powerful. Less powerful than the PC-based CPUs, there are several models of Compact CPUs available in 2 performance classes.

Fieldbus CPU – with integrated fieldbus connection

Remote design of I/O systems is one of the standard topologies used in automation solutions for machines and equipment. In addition, fieldbuses with bus controllers are normally used. Larger topologies or standard fieldbuses like CANopen, PROFIBUS DP, or DeviceNet can cause relatively long response times.
