2.10 Sophisticated mechanics
The name B&R stands for many years of experience in developing and manufacturing industrial electronics. But
it's also the mechanics of the X20 system that have been thought through to the last detail. Its robust design, long
guides and strengthened housing guarantee the stability it needs in industrial environments. These features allow
the X20 system to be mounted on a top-hat rail with the same ease as a rack system. They also make it just as
simple to remove it from the rail.
The sophisticated mechanics of the X20 are needed not just to provide this type of handling, but also to be able
to quickly and easily remove I/O slices from the entire system.
