Product Description:
The CX9020-0115-1004 is an ARM-based embedded PC manufactured by Beckhoff and belongs to the CX Embedded PC Systems series. It integrates PLC functionality, visualization capability, and fieldbus master tasks in a compact IP20 module, making it suitable for decentralized machine cells and building automation panels. By executing deterministic control cycles directly on the device, it removes the need for a separate industrial PC and reduces cabinet space. TwinCAT 3 Runtime (XAR) is preinstalled so IEC 61131-3 logic and motion programs can run alongside HMI code.
At the hardware level the controller uses an i.MX535 Cortex-A8 processor clocked at 1 GHz; this single-core architecture provides cycle times adequate for distributed I/O and modest motion tasks while keeping power dissipation low. The computing core is matched with 1 GB DDR3-RAM, allowing simultaneous execution of the operating system, TwinCAT tasks, and diagnostic utilities without paging. Two on-board Ethernet ports presented as 2 x RJ45, 10/100 Mbit/s enable separate real-time and office networks, and the integrated switch supports simple line topology. For local peripherals the device offers 4 x USB 2.0, 500 mA so service sticks, sensors, or touch screens can be powered directly. Passive convection cooling eliminates moving parts and simplifies mounting orientation.
Total energy demand remains below 5 W, so the unit can share a standard 24 V DC control supply without dedicated power conditioning. When a visualization client is required, the DVI-I output drives panels up to 1920 x 1200 pixels, allowing full-HD dashboards. Application data and recipes reside on two microSD slots, while 128 kB of NOVRAM secures retain variables during voltage dips. The housing measures 84 x 100 x 91 mm, permitting installation in shallow cabinets, and the IP20 rating is sufficient for protected electrical rooms. Windows Embedded Compact 7 provides a compact OS image, and startup scripts automatically launch the installed TwinCAT runtime after boot.
