Beckhoff CX8280 | Embedded PC with Arm® Cortex®-A53 and 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.

The CX8280 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.

E-bus or K-bus terminals can be attached as required; the CX8280 automatically

recognizes the type of I/O system connected during the start-up phase.

The control system is programmed with TwinCAT 3 via the bus interface or

the additional Ethernet interface. TwinCAT 3 licenses must be ordered via the

TwinCAT 3 price list.

Beckhoff RT Linux® is used as operating system.
