Topology
By inserting BRS into the network users enable their ctrlX OS based devices to connect with the HMI.
The ctrlX OS device in the network provides various priorities for data created by different sources such as sensors, motors, and drives.
When this data reaches the Belden BOBCAT Rail Switch (BRS) that is equipped with an OPC UA server and QoS, the BRS switch can process this data based on priorities set within ctrlX OS while presenting it to different OPC UA clients such as a ctrlX HMI.
