| - |
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 |
