2.2 X90 mobile CPUs
2.2.1 General information
The optimally scaled CPU series covers a wide range of requirements – from standard applications to the most
demanding applications with the highest performance requirements. Even cycle times of 400 μs can be used
effectively.
CAN bus, Ethernet and USB are already standard equipment at B&R. Networking and connecting USB devices
are therefore possible at no additional cost. In addition, each CPU can have a POWERLINK interface for hard
real-time communication. Although most requirements are covered by the standard equipment of the CPUs, there
are up to four multipurpose slots for additional interface modules.
2.2.2 B&R Automation Studio
B&R Automation Studio is the only programming tool needed for all platforms. It can be used to create application
software in all relevant IEC 61131-3 languages as well as C. Integrated HMI, NC and Soft CNC functionalities or
web server technologies round out the possible applications.
2.2.3 Individual configuration
With its industrial design, the X90 mobile system is not only a remote I/O system, but also a complete control so-
lution. Depending on requirements and the application, the X90 mobile family combines exactly those components
that are needed.
