The CX7051 Embedded PC has an Arm® Cortex®-M7 single-core processor with 480 MHz. In the basic configuration, the CX7051 has a slot for a microSD card and an Ethernet interface. As a special feature, the CX7000 series has eight integrated multi-functional inputs as well as four integrated multi-functional outputs. The CX7051 has a CANopen responder (slave) interface.
E-bus or K-bus terminals can be attached as required; the CX7051 automatically recognizes the type of I/O system connected during the start-up phase. The control system is programmed with TwinCAT 3 via the Ethernet interface.
