FAQ

Q: What is the difference between X-CPU01 and X-CPU31?
A: X-CPU01 is high-performance version for large systems with high I/O quantity and multi-program requirements; X-CPU31 is cost-effective for small and medium safety applications.

Q: Does X-CPU01 support hot swap?
A: Yes, the HIMax platform supports hot swap of CPU and I/O modules, no shutdown required for replacement.

Q: Can it work with HIMatrix series modules?
A: It can communicate with HIMatrix remote I/O via SafeEtherNet, but cannot be mixed on the same HIMax backplane.
