PLC integrates I/O for speed and flexibility
Bosch Rexroth's IndraControl XM21/22 PLC combines the speed of the Sercos automation bus with Rexroth's IndraControl S20 I/O series for one functionally complete and scalable control system. Suited to all factory automation and motion logic applications, the IndraControl XM platform is easy to configure and features high performance real time data processing capabilities. The controller is available with either an Intel 600 or 1,300 MHz ATOM processor, along with an on-board Sercos master.
>By integrating the company's modular IndraControl S20 I/O series into the controller, Rexroth adds to the flexibility of the control system. Optional extension modules further expand the integration options, while a service-friendly design reduces installation costs. Decentralised I/O, drives and additional system machinery are connected via Sercos as a universal automation bus for system-wide networking.
