Product Description:
The CX7000 is an embedded PC produced by Beckhoff as part of the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Designed for DIN-rail mounting inside control cabinets, the unit combines PLC logic, communication, and local signal processing in a 49-mm-wide housing. It provides a programmable platform for machine builders that require deterministic control, fieldbus connectivity, and integrated diagnostics without using a full-size industrial computer. The unit can operate as a standalone controller or as a node within a larger EtherCAT network.
Its computing section is driven by a single-core Arm Cortex-M7 processor running at 480 MHz, allowing real-time task execution for deterministic PLC cycles. The controller includes 32 MB SDRAM of main memory for program code and variable storage. A 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface provides access to TCP/IP services and supports TwinCAT remote downloads and HMI access. Supply power is provided through a 24 V DC two-pin connector, and the device can distribute auxiliary power to connected sensor loads. The IP20 housing protects against contact with hazardous internal components and the entry of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm, but it does not provide protection against water. An onboard 12-bit analog converter provides suitable resolution for process values, while a 4 kB NOVRAM retains data across power cycles.
The 49 × 100 × 73 mm enclosure weighs 142 g and fits between standard terminal blocks on the DIN rail. The built-in I/O section provides 8 multifunction inputs that can accept digital or analog signals. It also includes 4 multifunction outputs rated at 0.5 A each, reducing the need for separate I/O modules in small machines. For recipe storage and software distribution, a 512 MB microSD card slot is accessible behind the front panel. Additional data exchange is supported by a full-speed USB device port with a transfer rate of 12 Mbit/s and a bus-power limit of 100 mA. The compact housing allows the controller to be installed in cabinets where rail space is limited, while the integrated interfaces support direct connections to local control equipment.
