Linux®-based real-time control with TwinCAT
Linux® distribution from Beckhoff lays foundation for new type of runtime
CX8200 | Embedded PC with Arm® Cortex®-A53 processor
The CX8200 Embedded PC features an Arm® Cortex®-A53 dual-core processor running at 1.2 GHz. The basic configuration of the CX8200 includes a 1 Gbit Ethernet interface, a USB 3.0 interface, a 1 GB LPDDR4 RAM, and a slot for a microSD card. The microSD card is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately, taking the desired memory capacity into account. The CX8200 does not have a fieldbus interface.
CX8210 | Embedded PC with EtherCAT
The CX8210 Embedded PC is a control with an EtherCAT slave interface. It features an Arm® Cortex®-A53 dual-core processor with 1.2 GHz. The basic configuration of the CX8200 includes a 1 Gbit Ethernet interface, a USB 3.0 interface, a 1 GB LPDDR4 RAM, and a slot for a microSD card. The microSD card is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately, taking the desired memory capacity into account.
CX8280 | Embedded PC with RS232/RS485
The CX8280 Embedded PC has two serial interfaces, one with RS232 and one with RS485 physics. These are both located on the D-sub socket. They are not bound to any particular protocol and can be used with the corresponding TwinCAT 3 Functions for the different serial communication protocols.
CX8290 | Embedded PC with different Ethernet protocols
The CX8290 Embedded PC is a controller with a second, switched Ethernet port. Protocols such as real-time Ethernet, ADS UDP/TCP, and EAP (EtherCAT Automation Protocol) are supported, and additional real-time protocols such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and BACnet/IP can be retrofitted via TwinCAT Functions.
CX9240 | Compact PC control for a wide range of applications
The CX9240 Embedded PC is a compact, DIN rail-mountable Ethernet control system with a 1.2 GHz Arm® Cortex®-A53 CPU. It represents a further development of the existing CX9020 and relies on a faster CPU with four cores and a modern 64 bit architecture. The multi-core CPU allows PLC projects to be distributed to several cores for significantly enhanced performance.
MC9240-0000-1217 | IPC module, Industrial PC, Arm® Cortex®-A53, M12, push-pull
MC-type modules are computer modules for the Beckhoff MX-System. They have the hardware and software features of an industrial PC, coupled with the robust and IP67-protected MX housing design.
