Product Description:
The CX1800-1072 embedded computing module is produced by Beckhoff within the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Designed as a DIN-rail mounted industrial PC, the unit coordinates machine sequences, gathers process data, and interfaces with field networks in automated plants. It replaces discrete PLC, HMI, and gateway hardware with a single software-programmable platform that runs deterministic control tasks alongside higher-level Windows services. Because it is part of the CX family, it can be combined directly with Beckhoff I/O terminals and power supplies without additional cabling, which helps keep panel layouts compact.
The processing section relies on an Arm Cortex-A8, 1 GHz CPU with a single core to execute real-time PLC code while conserving panel power and limiting heat buildup. System data is buffered in 1 GB DDR3 RAM, providing adequate space for recipe storage and operating system overhead. For local visualization, the integrated DVI-D interface drives displays up to 1920 × 1200 pixels, so status pages and trend graphs can be shown at high resolution. Network connectivity is supplied through 2 × RJ45, 10/100 Mbit/s ports that support separate control and diagnostics segments or redundant ring topologies. Peripheral devices such as barcode readers or service laptops can be attached to 4 × USB 2.0 sockets, allowing plug-and-play expansion without internal modifications. The single-core design also simplifies task scheduling and minimizes context-switch overhead during cyclic scans.
The power section is fed from a 24 V DC control supply that tolerates excursions between 20.4 V and 28.8 V, helping the PC remain active during brownouts. Removable storage is provided by two microSD slots, and the system ships with 512 MB of preinstalled flash for application code and runtime backups. Retentive variables survive power cycles inside a dedicated 128 kB NOVRAM block, eliminating the need for batteries. The factory image of Windows Embedded Compact 7 boots from solid-state media and offers real-time extensions, OPC interfaces, and remote desktop access while maintaining a compact footprint that suits the available processor and memory resources.
