B&R X90CP174.48-00
Agricultural and forestry machines Construction equipment Municipal utility vehicles Stationary outdoor applications Powerful ARM CPU with 650 MHz Multifunction I/O channels Ethernet, POWERLINK, 3x CAN bus, USB Modular expansion The heart of the X90 mobile system is a controller with a powerful ARM processor and up to 48 multifunction I/O channels. Basic features include connections for CAN, USB, Ethernet and the real-time POWERLINK bus system. The extremely robust die-cast aluminum housing provides space for up to 4 additional expansion boards. These make it possible to add I/O channels or interfaces as well as specific functions such as condition monitoring.
