Product Description:

Beckhoff is a German automation technology company. It develops and manufactures PC based control systems, I/O modules and automation software. The company provides open automation solutions for various industries including machine building, energy and building automation.

The CX8191 Embedded PC is equipped with an Arm® Cortex®-A9 processor running at 800 MHz. It has a single core CPU. The device includes two RJ45 Ethernet ports that are switched. These ports support BACnet communication that enables both client and server operations. The data transfer rate is 100 Mbit/s and the supported network topologies include star and line structures. The supported cable medium is 4 x 2 twisted pair copper. The maximum cable length from the switch to the device is 100 meters. The embedded PC supports BACnet over Ethernet for building automation applications. The unit weighs 230 grams and measures 71 mm wide, 100 mm high and 73 mm deep. These compact dimensions allow for space saving installation within control cabinets. The model is engineered for dependable operation in Ethernet based BACnet environments. It adapts to varied installation needs with support for star and line topologies.

The CX8191 embedded PC includes a power supply terminal located on the right side. The terminal can accept either K bus or EtherCAT (E bus) terminals. It can automatically detect and support the connected bus type. Using EtherCAT (E bus) offers extended functionality such as supporting additional communication protocols including CANopen, PROFIBUS and PROFINET. This also enables connection to EtherCAT Box modules for IP67 rated environments. The flexibility of the power supply and bus interface supports integration into various industrial and building automation systems. The CX series PC is a practical choice for modular and scalable automation infrastructures.
