The interface module is equipped with a PROFINET IO device interface. This allows the B&R system (I/O modules, POWERLINK, etc.) to be connected to systems from other manufacturers and makes it possible to quickly and easily transfer data in both directions.
The interface module can be operated in X20 CPUs or in the expandable POWERLINK bus controller X20BC1083.
The interface is equipped with 2 RJ45 connections. Both connections result in an integrated switch. This makes it easy to implement daisy chain cabling.
