CX9020-0115-1003 by Beckhoff

The Beckhoff CX9020-0115-1003 embedded PC is a key component in the CX Embedded PC Systems lineup. It is powered by an Arm Cortex-A8, 1 GHz processor and equipped with 1 GB DDR3 RAM, making it well suited for industrial automation applications that demand reliable and efficient processing. Running on Windows Embedded Compact 7, it is optimized for real-time control and monitoring tasks, perfectly integrating with TwinCAT software to deliver precise control in automated systems.

Engineered with attention to critical technical features, this unit boasts an internal battery-backed clock for precise time and date management and supports both TwinCAT 2 runtime, TwinCAT 3 runtime (XAR) control software environments. It utilizes passive cooling to maintain optimal operating temperatures while drawing a maximum power consumption of 5 W. The device further offers versatile connectivity options including 2 x RJ45 10/100 Mbit/s ports, 1 x DVI-D port, 4 x USB 2.0 ports and an optional interface, along with a current supply of 2 A for E-bus/k-bus connections.

Additional features enhance its suitability for demanding industrial conditions. The inclusion of 2 x microSD card slots with a 512 MB flash memory (expandable for larger storage requirements) and a comprehensive array of diagnostic LEDs (1 x power, 1 x TC status, 2 x flash access, and 2 x bus status) ensure proactive system monitoring and maintenance. Automatic recognition of E-bus or K-bus I/O connections further supports its integration into existing setups, while the standardized 24 V DC (-15%/+20%) power supply and compliance with safety and operational standards underscore its durability and efficiency in a range of industrial applications.
