B&R X20CS1030
RS485/RS422 interface for serial, remote connection of complex devices to the X20 system Integrated terminating resistor In addition to the standard I/O, complex devices often need to be connected. The X20CS communication modules are intended precisely for cases like this. As normal X20 electronics modules, they can be placed anywhere on the remote backplane.
