Communication between BX controllers (via SSB)

2 or more BX controllers can exchange data via the SSB. Use 2 telegrams for configuring this data exchange in the System Manager (CAN layer).

CAN telegram communication is specified via the COB ID. The BX type is irrelevant, since the SSB is present on each BX controller, and the behavior and configuration is identical.
