Beckhoff: Embedded PC (CX9010 Series) The CX9010 is a compact, DIN rail-mountable Ethernet controller with Intel® IXP420 with XScale® technology and 533 MHz clock frequency. The connection for the Beckhoff I/O systems is directly integrated in the CPU module. The CX9010 is available in two basic versions: one version for Bus Terminals with K-bus, the other one for EtherCAT Terminals with E-bus. The CX9010 comprises the CPU, the internal flash memory, the main memory (RAM) and NOVRAM as non-volatile memory. Two Ethernet RJ45 interfaces are also part of the basic configuration. These interfaces are connected to an internal switch and offer a simple option for creating a line topology without the need for additional Ethernet switches.
A memory medium in Compact Flash format I and II is available as an optional module. The operating system is Microsoft Windows CE 5. The TwinCAT 2 automation software transforms a CX9010 system into a powerful PLC and Motion Control system that can be operated with or without visualization. Further system interfaces can be connected to the CPU module ex factory. The CX9010-N010 option can be connected to Beckhoff Control Panels or standard monitors with DVI or VGA input via the DVI or USB interfaces. Devices such as printer, scanner, mouse, keyboard, mass storage, etc. can be connected via the USB 2.0 interfaces. The module CX9010-N030 offers two serial RS232 interfaces with a maximum transfer speed of 115 kbaud. These two interfaces can be implemented as RS422/RS485, in which case they are identified as CX9010-N031. Embedded PC series CX9000, CX9010
The CX9000 and CX9010 Embedded PCs offer a compact and high-performance yet cost-effective PLC and Motion Control system for DIN rail installation. Within the Beckhoff control world, they are positioned between the Bus Terminal Controller series BX and the Embedded PC CX1010. The main feature of these units is the energy-saving Intel® IXP420 CPU with XScale® technology and the Microsoft Windows CE 5 operating system. Two controllers with different processors are available: CX9010: Intel® IXP420 with XScale® technology, 533 MHz CX9000: Intel® IXP420 with XScale® technology, 266 MHz They thus offer adequate computing capacity even for complex automation tasks. The CX9000 family requires no external storage media – the device boots the operating system from the internal flash. Due to the low power consumption, within the specified operating range no fan is required. The CX9000/CX9010 Embedded PCs require no rotating components. As usual for the CX series, the device features a modular mechanical design. In its basic configuration, the compact device only measures 58 x 100 x 91 mm. The CX9000/CX9010 controllers are available in two versions: with K-bus for direct connection of Bus Terminals and as an E-bus version for direct connection of EtherCAT Terminals. CX9000-0000: Embedded PC with integrated EtherCAT Terminal interface (E-bus) CX9010-0000: Embedded PC with integrated EtherCAT Terminal interface (E-bus) CX9000-1000: Embedded PC with integrated Bus Terminal interface (K-bus) CX9010-1000: Embedded PC with integrated Bus Terminal interface (K-bus)
In the basic configuration, two RJ45 sockets that are internally connected to an integrated switch are available as interfaces. This simplifies wiring of several CX9000/CX9010 within a line topology. No separate switch hardware is required. The two externally accessible Ethernet ports are independent of the EtherCAT interface, which is served by a second MAC (Media Access Controller) provided by the CPU. Further interfaces may be added ex factory as required: a screen display can be realized using a CX90x0-N010 device, i.e. a module combining DVI/VGA + 2 x USB 2.0. Because of the combination of DVI and USB, all types of Beckhoff Control Panels with DVI/USB interface can be used. Touch functionality is connected via USB. As further optional interfaces, two RS232 modules or two RS422/RS485 modules can be configured as COM1 and COM2. All serial interfaces are opto-decoupled. Mass storage in form of a Compact Flash card can be used via the CX9000-A001 module, which offers physical storage capacity in the range of several gigabytes. TwinCAT 2 is used for programming the Embedded PCs as an automation device. The device itself contains the run-time environment for PLC (CX9000/CX9010) and Motion Control (CX9010). One of the two Ethernet interfaces is used as programming interface. Microsoft Windows CE 5 enables the creation of fully graphic user programs, which are able to satisfy high expectations thanks to the graphics chip integrated in the CX9000/CX9010. The result is a compact Ethernet controller that enables short I/O cycle times in conjunction with EtherCAT Terminals and offers high-performance software in the form of Windows CE 5 and TwinCAT 2. Embedded PCs and motherboards for industrial control tasks
The compact DIN rail PCs from the CX series unite with the various I/O modules to form a space-saving industrial controller in the control cabinet. Every user can find a suitable Embedded device in the Beckhoff range of Embedded products: tailored to budget, performance class and the complexity of the control task. Apart from the CPU, the individual devices from the CX series differ in the available system interfaces and power supply versions and can be plugged together as a modular control system according to the respective task. This way, different applications can be realized on the same hardware, for example a PLC and Motion Control system with DVI/USB interface, Windows Embedded CE or Windows Embedded Standard or a multimedia system (building automation) with Audio interface. Beckhoff Industrial Motherboards
Thanks to proprietary BIOS and motherboard development, new technologies in the PC market can be implemented quickly for the customer in all performance classes of Industrial and Embedded PCs. Motherboards in all typical form factors (ATX and 3½-inch) are developed and manufactured in-house, so that it is also possible to react to customer-specific requirements. High-quality electronic components, selected according to guaranteed availability, not only make the “Made in Germany” motherboards robust and reliable, they also ensure their availability for at least five years. As far as the technical innovations permit, the design of the motherboards is compatible across generations and facilitates the upgrading of individual devices. Beckhoff Embedded-PC CX | Modular DIN rail Industrial PCs
With the Embedded PCs of the CX series, Beckhoff has combined PC technology and modular I/O level on a DIN rail unit in the control cabinet. The CX device series combines the worlds of Industrial PC and hardware PLC and is suitable for all performance control tasks. The modular system of the CX series can be configured to match the task in hand: by adding or omitting units and interfaces, only those components that the system actually requires are installed on the DIN rail in the control cabinet or terminal box. Installation space and costs are reduced. The CX family covers the whole range of Beckhoff control technology in terms of both price and performance. This product range is designed for tasks requiring the characteristics and computing capacity of Industrial PCs, but whose budget does not stretch to full-blown Industrial PCs. Scalable performance classes
The CX family includes several basic CPU modules with different processors for optimum adaptation to the respective control task. Apart from various CPUs, the individual CX types also have different system interfaces and power supply units. Via the associated I/O interfaces the Embedded PCs support Beckhoff Bus Terminals and also EtherCAT Terminals as I/O system. A suitable CX controller is selected on the basis of the expected complexity and scope of the automation program. Decisive here is not just the clock frequency of the CPU, but a combination of many criteria. The main criteria apart from the clock frequency are the CPU architecture, the cache sizes, the type and size of the RAM, graphic controller etc. Changing from one CX CPU to another with a higher performance is, however, still possible even at a very late stage in the course of the project and can usually take place without any program modification. The individual system components of the CX series come as modules in standard widths of 19 mm or 22 mm, that can be connected in series. The basic unit for the CX2000 and CX10x0 series consists of a CPU module and a separate power supply module. The CX8000, CX9000, CX9010, CX9020, CX5000 and CX5100 devices integrate CPU and power supply in a single unit. Depending on the CX type, the controllers can be expanded through further system interfaces. The range of optional modules is complemented by fieldbus connections for PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet, SERCOS interface and Lightbus, both as master or slave versions. In contrast to the other CX device families, the CX8000, CX9020, CX5100 and CX5000 series have a fixed, non-expandable number of system interfaces. The devices from the CX8000 series are mainly used as programmable fieldbus slaves, while both the CX9020 and CX5000/CX5100 offer an optional fieldbus master or slave interface in the multi-option interface. The multi-option interface, a common feature of all second-generation CX devices (CX9020, CX5010, CX5020, CX5120, CX5130, CX5140, CX2020, CX2030 and CX2040), is an interface that can be configured ex factory with various signal types. These devices are also characterized by a further important feature: the automatic K-bus/E-bus detection enables the use of both types of I/O terminals without additional expenditure. EtherCAT integration offers a wide range of expansion capability. Further master/slave fieldbus connections or communication interfaces and all other signal types accessible via EtherCAT can be directly connected as EtherCAT Terminals. In combination with the TwinCAT 2 or TwinCAT 3 automation software, the CX Embedded PC becomes a powerful IEC 61131-3 PLC. Additionally, Motion Control tasks can also be executed. Depending on the required cycle time, it may be used to control several servo axes. With the CX1010, CX5000, CX5100, CX1020, CX1030 and CX2000 even special functions such as “flying saw”, “electronic gearbox” or “cam plate” can be realized. The CX thus becomes a controller that covers PLC, Motion Control and visualization tasks with a single hardware. Under Windows Embedded CE, thanks to the real-time capability of the operating system, user tasks written in high-level languages can be processed in real-time in parallel with TwinCAT. Wide range of applications
Due to the design and the features of an industrial PC control, the Embedded PCs can be used in a wide range of applications. Existing applications include mechanical engineering (automatic sawing machines, automatic assembly machines, paper cutting machines, screwdriver control, packing machines, sheet metal processing, handling equipment), process technology (water treatment, power generation, consumption logging), building services (room control, access control) and many more.
