6.3.4 Realtime Ethernet
6.3.4.1 Real-Time Ethernet
The CX8090 supports the Real-Time Ethernet protocol from Beckhoff as a master with its Real-Time
Ethernet interface (X101/102). This means that the BK9xx0 bus couplers on the CX8090 can be operated as
decentralized nodes. In principle there is no restriction on the number of bus couplers that can be connected
to a CX8090; however, it is recommended to limit this to 3 nodes.
