Product Description:
The CX1800-2049 embedded controller sits within the CX Embedded PC Systems series produced by Beckhoff. This modular part combines CPU processing, communication interfaces, and fieldbus couplers into a single DIN-rail device. It is intended to drive PLC sequences, motion paths, and HMI tasks inside industrial machinery, replacing separate PCs and rack-mount controllers with one compact node that plugs straight into the plant’s low-voltage supply and terminal I/O backplane.
Electrical integration is straightforward because the unit accepts 24 V DC and has an IP20 protection rating, making it suitable for cabinet mounting without direct exposure to dust or liquids. Communication to higher-level networks is handled by two RJ45 10/100/1000 Mbit/s LAN interfaces. Local visualization is possible through one DVI-I connector that drives digital or analog monitors. Four user-accessible USB 2.0 sockets deliver up to 500 mA per port for keyboards, scanners, or service sticks, and removable media support is provided through CFast cards and microSD slots for application data and backups.
Automation performance is governed by the Beckhoff runtime environment; the controller is shipped with TwinCAT 3 on the embedded image platform WES7, allowing IEC 61131-3 logic, motion control, and C++ tasks to run side by side. At least 40 GB of CFast storage is reserved for the operating system and user programs. The internal power distribution passes up to 10 A through the power contacts to downstream terminals, while a separate 2 A feed supplies backplane electronics and sensor modules. For short utility outages, a maintenance-free UPS stores 1 MB of battery-buffered data and maintains logic power for 1 s, ensuring deterministic shutdown without corruption. Each USB channel is limited to a 500 mA draw, aligning with standard peripheral ratings.
