Beckhoff Embedded PC

The advantages at a glance
- control system for powerful PLC and motion control tasks
- powerful 266 MHz Intel Pentium MMX-compatible CPU
- Ethernet and COM1 included as standard
- modular system with all relevant PC interfaces
- ideal also for memory-intensive applications: data storage on Compact Flash
- support of PROFIBUS, CANopen, DeviceNet, SERCOS interface and Lightbus in the shape of master and slave components
- small dimensions save space in the control cabinet or terminal box
- energy-saving: power consumption of the CPU below 5 W
- Industrial PC with PLC characteristics: no fans or rotating storage media, fast start-up,
real-time clock, exchange of programs via memory card possible, remanent memory and operation without UPS
- Beckhoff Bus Terminals can be directly connected as I/O level (cost advantage through elimination of a Bus Coupler)
- Beckhoff IP 67 Extension Box modules can be directly connected as I/O level, e.g. for environments subject to EMC
- Beckhoff Control Panels can be connected as display devices via DVI/USB
- through multimedia interfaces (audio in/out) also interesting for non-industrial applications, e.g. building automation
- latest generation of operating systems: Microsoft Windows CE or Windows XP Embedded
- web server or FTP server capability for internet/intranet applications
- programming via TwinCAT, i. e. the same software as for all Beckhoff control devices
- TwinCAT control programs from the “large” Industrial PCs can usually be run on the CX1000 CPU without modification
- price positioning half way between Beckhoff Bus Terminal Controllers and Beckhoff Industrial PCs
