Hi,

I’m not sure what you mean with the communication between X20 and CPU security, but about the communication of 2 CPUs via Powerlink, you should find the needed infos here:
https://help.br-automation.com/#/en/4/communication%2Fpowerlink%2Fpowerlink_icn.html

In short words:

  • one PLC has to be configured as Managing Node (MN = Powerlink “Master”), the other as intelligent Controlled Node (iCN = Slave).
  • the data exchange is based on IO channels, that you can configure on your own based on your needs.
  • The MN needs to know the IO channel configuration of the iCN, therefore this configuration has to be part of the MNs project also. This can be done easily by adding a 2nd configuration in the MN project.

Best regards!

Additional info:
If you don’t want to have the source code in the same project, it’s enough to reference the .hw file (or keep a copy / use a git submodule / whatever you want :slight_smile: ) of the other configuration. That way you can still have two “seperate” projects.

Best regards,
