System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 5PC910.SX02-00 system unit houses the passive backplane interconnecting the CPU board and expansion modules via a high-speed internal bus. Power is distributed from a 24 V DC rail through the backplane to all installed boards. The CPU board handles all compute, storage, and primary I/O; expansion slots add fieldbus interfaces (CANopen, PROFIBUS, RS-232/422/485) or additional Ethernet ports. External I/O connects via the CPU board’s onboard ports or through B&R X20 / X67 remote I/O nodes over POWERLINK or Modbus TCP.
Typical signal flow: Field sensors/actuators → X20 I/O modules → POWERLINK network → APC910 CPU board (5PC910.SX02-00 backplane) → Automation Runtime / HMI application → SCADA / MES via OPC UA or Modbus TCP.

Technical FAQ
Q: Can the 5PC910.SX02-00 run without a CPU board installed?
A: No. The system unit is a passive backplane/chassis. A compatible CPU board (e.g., 5PC910.BX01-00) must be installed for operation.
Q: Is this unit compatible with the older APC620 or APC680 series CPU boards?
A: No. The APC910 backplane uses a different connector standard. CPU boards are not cross-compatible between APC series generations.
Q: Can I add a third slot later?
A: No — the 5PC910.SX02-00 is a fixed 2-slot unit. For 3- or 5-slot configurations, refer to 5PC910.SX03-00 or 5PC910.SX05-00.
Q: What is the difference between SX02-00 and SX02-01?
A: The -01 revision typically indicates a minor hardware revision (PCB or connector change). Functionally equivalent for most applications — confirm with B&R or Konmask if revision-specific firmware is required.
Q: Does Konmask provide programming or configuration services?
A: Hardware supply only. For Automation Studio programming support, contact a certified B&R system integrator in your region.
