All four channels are IO Link channels, but can also be used as standard inputs or outputs. The specified 3-line connection can be implemented using the connector system with 12 terminal points per module that is only available with X20. All specified baud rates are also supported. The component density of X20 saves space compared to conventional I/O systems.
