Product Description:
The CX Embedded PC Systems series from Beckhoff includes the CX8110, a DIN-rail controller designed to combine PLC logic, HMI tasks, and fieldbus gateway functions in a single housing. This compact product is intended for decentralized machine cells where cabinet depth and wiring effort must be minimized. By combining processing, memory, and direct terminal coupling, it lets machine builders consolidate CPU and coupler functions within one device. The controller can supervise pumps, conveyors, or HVAC subsystems in industrial automation applications.
Inside the unit, a single core runs user code at 800 MHz, and execution data is buffered by 512 MB of DDR3 RAM. Program and boot files reside on a 512 MB microSD card. Heat is removed through passive convection, so no fans are required, and overall power consumption remains at only 4 W. The electronics draw power from a 24 V DC source, while an internal backplane supplies 2 A to attached I/O terminals. Deterministic control loops can be scheduled with cycle times as short as 500 µs, allowing accurate synchronization of motion or process signals on small machines. The real-time scheduler supports predictable PLC scan performance and organized task execution.
Field communication is provided by EtherCAT through the integrated RJ45 10/100 Mbit/s interface. Local expansion follows the E-bus or K-bus architecture, allowing additional terminals to connect without separate couplers. Power contacts rated at 10 A pass supply voltage to downstream modules, reducing external wiring within the control cabinet. The computing platform is based on an Arm Cortex-A9 processor that offers low power consumption and fast startup characteristics. A built-in one-second uninterruptible power supply bridges short power interruptions, giving the controller enough time to secure data and set outputs to a safe state before shutdown. This temporary backup also helps protect application data from corruption when the incoming supply is unexpectedly interrupted.
