Beckhoff CX9020 | Embedded PC with Arm® Cortex®-A8

The CX9020 is a compact, DIN rail-mountable Ethernet control system

with 1 GHz Arm® Cortex®-A8 CPU. The connection for the Beckhoff

I/O systems is directly integrated into the CPU module. The unit offers

automatic bus system identification (E-bus or K bus) and independently

switches in the corresponding mode. The CX9020 comprises the CPU

with two microSD card slots, the internal RAM and 128 kB NOVRAM as

non-volatile memory. The basic configuration also includes two switched

Ethernet RJ45 interfaces, four USB 2.0 interfaces and a DVI-D interface.

The RJ45 interfaces are connected to an internal switch and offer a simple

option for creating a line topology without the need for additional Ethernet

switches. The operating system is Windows Embedded Compact 7. TwinCAT

automation software transforms a CX9020 system into a powerful PLC and

motion control system that can be operated with or without visualization.

Optionally, the unit can be ordered with a fieldbus, serial or audio interface.

The extended operating temperature range between -25 and +60°C enables

application in climatically demanding situations.
