Product Description:
Beckhoff’s CX9001-0101 is an embedded PC controller in the CX Embedded PC Systems series. Designed for DIN-rail mounting, the unit combines CPU, fieldbus interface, and PLC functionality for small to medium-sized machines. By integrating processing, visualization, and I/O coordination, it provides deterministic logic execution and real-time data handling within industrial automation cells. The platform is intended for protected indoor panels where convection cooling is sufficient.
At the heart of the device, an Intel IXP420 XScale processor runs at 266 MHz, which sets the processing capacity for motion sequences and communication stacks. Program code resides in a 32 MByte flash module, while variables run from 128 MByte RAM, accommodating sizable IEC-61131-3 tasks. A 128 kByte NOVRAM preserves retained data during power loss, and the 2 A I/O terminal supply feeds attached EtherCAT slices without an auxiliary source. The controller accepts a stabilized 24 V DC input that powers its internal regulators. Its enclosure meets the IP20 protection class, which provides finger-safe construction for cabinet installation. Each USB receptacle can source 100 mA, so low-power service tools or memory sticks can be connected without overloading the backplane.
Network and display functions are organized for panel-free operation. Two RJ45 sockets support full-duplex Ethernet at 10/100 Mbit, enabling simultaneous machine-level and plant-level traffic. A DVI-I 29-pin connector drives local HMIs, while two Type A ports conform to USB 2.0 for service access or barcode readers. Deterministic cyclic data exchange with remote terminals is handled on the integrated E-Bus (EtherCAT) backplane, keeping wiring to a single ribbon. Application code is executed by the TwinCAT-CE-PLC-Runtime, which combines Windows CE multitasking with Beckhoff’s real-time extension so scan times stay predictable even when visualization or file access is active.
