The CX2072 has an Intel® Xeon® CPU with a clock rate of 2.1 GHz (12 cores). A fan with ball bearings and speed monitoring is integrated into the basic CPU module. In addition to the CPU, the basic module also contains the main memory with a size of 8 GB RAM, optionally available with up to 64 GB. The controller boots from a CFast flash memory card where both the operating system as well as user programs and data are stored.
The CPU has an internal 128 kB NOVRAM, which acts as a persistent data memory if no UPS is used.
The use of TwinCAT 3 allows automation tasks to be distributed across the various cores of the Intel® Xeon® CPU.
All system modules from the CX2000 series for left- or right-sided functional extensions can be connected. Internally the modules are connected via PCI Express® and can be plugged to the CPU in the field.
The power supply for the CPU module comes from a CX2100-0014 power supply module. Up to two mass storage modules (either CX2550-0010 CFast modules or CX2550-0020 2½-inch SSD modules) can be plugged in between the power supply unit and the CPU, allowing the use of up to three mass storage devices in total.
