A system for transmitting and receiving data using an industrial expansion bus connected to a chassis is provided, the industrial expansion bus having a plurality of module slots, the system having a programmable logic controller (PLC) control rack and a PLC remote rack. The PLC control rack has a first embedded central processing unit (CPU), and a first peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) module adapted to send and receive PCIe compliant signals. The PLC remote rack has a second PCIe module adapted to send and receive PCIe compliant signals, and a second embedded CPU. The first PCIe module and the second PCIe module are communicatively coupled with cable to provide an interface between the first and second CPUs. A method for polling a local peripheral and a distant peripheral is also provided.
