Beckhoff Embedded PC
Modular DIN-rail industrial PC
With the introduction of the CX series Embedded PC, Beckhoff technology and the PC I / O level modular technology, constitute a control cabinet can be installed on a DIN rail unit. This device series combines the Industrial PC and hardware PLC environment, suitable for medium-sized control tasks. Existing tasks can be configured for modular control system, and installed in a control cabinet or terminal box.
CX system in terms of price and performance covers all the control technology from Beckhoff. The product family is for those who need an industrial PC features and computing power, but because of the limited project budget does not intend to purchase a full industrial PC designed for customers. Configure the system, users simply order the components actually needed. For example, CX can be in the 'headless' mode operation, ie without display and keyboard; this case, no need to configure the relevant interface.
Scalable performance levels
CX series products have several options of the basic CPU module is equipped with different processors, respectively, to meet the needs of the various control tasks:
CX1030: With Intel ® Pentium ® M CPU, 1.8 GHz processor, high-performance CX
CX1020: with Intel ® Celeron ® M ULV CPU and a 1 GHz processor, high-performance CX
CX1010: With Pentium ® MMX-compatible CPU and basic CX 500 MHz processor
CX9010: With Intel ® IXP420 XScale ® technology and 533 MHz processor, Ethernet controller device
CX9000: With Intel ® IXP420 XScale ® technology and 266 MH z processor, Ethernet controller
In addition to various types of CPU, different types of CX system interface module and power modules are also different. Through the corresponding I / O interface, CX1030, CX1020, CX1010, CX9000 and CX9010 Beckhoff Bus Terminal can connect, you can also connect EtherCAT Terminals as I / O system.
Components
CX series system modules through standard PC/104 bus (16) connected to each other. Each system component by a width of 19 mm (single) or 38 mm (dual mode) single modules, these modules can be connected in turn. CX1030, CX1020 and CX1010 basic unit including CPU and power module. CX9000 and CX9010 Series will be integrated in one CPU and power supply. CX models based on different controllers can be expanded more system interfaces. For PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet, SERCOS interface and fieldbus interfaces Lightbus expanded the types of optional modules, which was divided into master and slave interfaces.
Software
With TwinCAT automation software, CX Embedded PC into a powerful IEC61131-3 PLC, it can control the motion control tasks. Different depending on the desired cycle time, it can control multiple servo axes. CX1010, CX1020 or the CX1030 can even implement a particular function, such as 'flying saw', 'electronic gear box' or 'electronic cam' and so on. CX and thus become a hardware implementation using a single PLC, motion control and visualization tasks controller. In the Windows CE platform, thanks to real-time operating system capabilities to high-level language user tasks can be run in the case of real-time TwinCAT be processed.
Wide range of applications
As a good industrial PC design and superior functionality, embedded PC can be widely applied. Existing applications include mechanical engineering (automatic sawing machines, automatic assembly machine, paper cutter, rotary cutting control, packaging machines, sheet metal processing, logistics and transportation equipment), process technology (water treatment, power generation, energy consumption monitoring), building control (home control, access control), etc.
